Spontaneous breakage, splintering, pronounced over- and undercuts: The rising use of laminated glass in insulating glass production, coupled with inconsistent raw material quality, poses a significant challenge for maintaining continuous, high-quality production. Discover how LiSEC overcomes these obstacles with its selective infrared heating (SIR) technology — and how you can benefit from it.

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.

In the new LiSTEN LiSEC podcast Sarah Hummelsberger (Online Marketing Manager at LiSEC Austria GmbH) and Harald Miksch (Head of Product Management Software at LiSEC Austria GmbH) discuss trends, technologies and innovations from the glass processing industry.

Insulating glass production, an important part of the global glass industry, is constantly evolving. While the production of IG units with flexible (VSA) and thermoplastic (TPA) spacers was already possible in an automated process, rigid spacers continued to pose a challenge for machine developers. LiSEC has now succeeded in realizing this production step without operator interaction. Applying rigid spacers automatically - how does that 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?
