In glass fabrication, the difference between profit and loss often lies in the scrap bin. Usable off-cuts (remnants) are frequently discarded simply because they are difficult to store and retrieve....
The most expensive downtime on an Insulating Glass (IGU) line occurs at the press. If the outer lite arrives but the inner lite is delayed at the tempering furnace or broke during breakout, the entire line stops. This "mismatch" kills throughput....
In a custom window or facade factory, the silent killer of productivity is "the search." When a cutter produces glass sequentially but the IGU line requires pairing based on frame availability, operators waste valuable minutes digging through stack...
In the fabrication of high-performance architectural glass, the margin for error is microscopic. "Soft coat" Low-E glass is notoriously susceptible to surface damage. A single scratch during internal transport often means scrapping the entire unit....
In the high-mix, low-volume environment of modern glass fabrication, the bottleneck often isn't the CNC cutter or the tempering furnace—it's the logistics in between. ...
