    Fully automated handling of heavy IG units: The New robotics and rotary Platform system

    When unloading large, thermoplastically sealed insulating glass units, manual processes quickly reach their limits. For the first time, the combination of the RHV‑A620IG unloading robot and the new PDL‑A40‑1FL rotary platform enables fully continuous, interruption‑free and clean unloading, even for formats up to 4,000 × 3,300 mm (approx. 157 × 130 in / 13.1 × 10.8 ft) and weights of up to 620 kg (approx. 1,367 lb).

    IG logistics reimagined: Automatic sorting of “wet” Elements

    Logistics is a crucial factor for success in the flat glass industry. While the sorting of cut panes before the IG line has long been established, there has been no solution for the automatic sorting of "wet," not yet hardened elements at the end of the IG line. Now, LiSEC's innovative solutions bridge this gap, effectively address the challenges of wet sorting, and, thanks to their modularity, seamlessly integrate into any production line.

    Fully automated: Every pane knows its path

    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?
