Glass
Glass manufacturing involves energy-intensive furnace operations where real-time data is essential to maintain quality, reduce breakage, and avoid the extreme cost of unplanned cold starts or furnace failures.
Industry Challenges
Furnace energy consumption is the largest cost driver with limited visibility
Breakage and defect rates are difficult to trace to process parameters
Unplanned furnace downtime risks costly cold starts and quality loss
Production targets are hard to track in real time across forming lines
Maintenance planning is reactive without real-time machine data
