In the production environment of the flat glass industry, machine PCs are exposed to increased security risks such as data loss and malware. With the solutions lis.backup and lis.protect, LiSEC offers reliable cloud-based services that enable both on-site and off-site backups and effectively protect machine PCs from malware. Read the blog post to find out how these solutions ensure a continuous production process and protect you from unexpected downtimes and costs.

How many cutting bridges do you need for the fastest laminated glass cutting? LiSEC says two - but they have to work together in a special way. Dynamic load balancing ensures the highest possible utilisation of two sequentially arranged bridges - and thus achieves peak performance almost unmanned: up to 140 m² laminated glass cut / h in series production, and up to 75 m²/h in regular insulating glass production. How does it work?

The machines no longer set the pace alone. Increasing automation is expanding the sphere of influence of software-controlled intralogistics. Planning and optimization software is taking the place of a production manager who plans and tracks the route of the panes through the production. The software manages, controls, and monitors the production processes and provides ongoing status feedback. The pacemaker is the sorting buffer, which makes it possible to combine conflicting priorities in production. How does today's unmanned production work?

As automation progresses, more and more robots are finding their way onto the shopfloors of the flat glass industry. Robot technology improves process reliability as well as the quality of glass products. Where are robots currently being used? And what specific advantages do they bring? An analysis based on years of user and technology know-how.

In today's business world, it is not enough for manufacturing companies to simply have well-filled order books. Rather, they need to ensure that their production facilities are used efficiently and consistently deliver high-quality products. The key to this lies in the data generated by the production equipment. Companies that manage to interpret this data in a meaningful way and draw the right conclusions from it have a clear competitive advantage over their rivals.
