Introduction
Adopting digital transformation has become essential in the manufacturing world, particularly in specialized industries like glass making. This blog examines how combining the Qubitro device data platform with contemporary digital solutions like SAP Business One, X-logic, Ellenex, Milesight and TTN may revolutionize conventional industrial processes.
Glass Processors and Their Operations
Glass processors use many advanced techniques. These are all important for making top-quality glass products. These products are used in many areas, such as buildings and car manufacturing:
Toughening - Heating glass to its softening point before rapidly cooling to enhance strength.
Laminating - Bonding layers of glass with interlayers to improve safety and performance.
Heat Soak Testing - Exposing glass to extreme temperatures to ensure durability under thermal stress.
Cutting - Precisely shaping glass to exact specifications.
Designing - Creating glass that meets specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
These processes are fundamental in ensuring the production of high-quality glass products.
Why Digital Transformation Matters
The importance of using digital tools in glass processing is more than just using new technology; it changes the whole production process from start to finish:
Increased Productivity - Streamlining operations with automation and digital tools.
Operational Transparency - Enhancing decision-making with insights into manufacturing stages.
Energy Efficiency - Reducing energy consumption through optimized operations.
Environmental Monitoring - Ensuring clean room standards with advanced sensors to prevent contamination.
IoT Integration in Glass Processing
IoT technology is crucial in modernizing glass processing operations, providing real-time data and controls:
Real-Time Energy Monitoring - X-logic's pulse counter helps manage energy better by watching how it's used during different work shifts.
Water pH and Sanitation Monitoring - Ellenex's CPH2 and CSD2 maintain optimal water quality for glass cutting.
Monitoring Humidity - Milesight's AM319 sensor measures the moisture in the air and PM2.5 & PM10 particles. These measurements are crucial for the laminating process to ensure that the final product is of the highest quality.
