Automation requirements in the solar glass industry

How does automation play a key role in glass manufacturing?

Automation increasingly plays a key role in glass manufacturing. Discover how in our explainer article. The basics of glass manufacturing are simple. Take some sand and heat it until it's very, very hot. Eventually, you'll get glass. But despite this simple recipe, glass has been manufactured in a variety of ways across the centuries.

How can automation improve safety & throughput in the glass industry?

Discover a better way to improve safety and throughput with our automation solutions in the glass industry. Parametrically programmed solutions and proprietary 3D vision robots pick glass sheets and assembly components from a production line, autonomously placing them into a slotted or L-Rack.

How can robots improve the safety of glass manufacturing?

Glass manufacturing can be hazardous, exposing humans to burns, cuts and other injuries. By automating routine tasks, humans are kept out of harm's way. Robots can also monitor factors such as furnace temperature to reduce the risk of accidents.

How does robotic glass packaging automation work?

Our robotic glass packaging automation integrations optimize processes using vision-guided robotics, high-payload robots, and advanced inspection systems. Our ingenious approach to tooling, programming, and configuration is relied upon by global leaders in the glass industry. It went smoothly, and just as expected.
