New patterns already exist!
Everything is under control
“AIS Conveyor 2.0” allows to control all manufacturing processes in real time, build up the balance of raw materials and shorten the “reaction time”
Always stay informed
If something happens in the plant “AIS Conveyor 2.0” will send you a message via the phone or Telegram
Burn-off in the furnace
Raw material balance
Counting and recording of the pallets by identifiers
Moulds operating time
Defects and rejects

The whole plant in the palm of your hand
Efficiency and PTM
Using objective data, set new KPIs with appropriate motivation for employees performing work on reconfiguring IS machine from one product range to another.
Real growth of the profit
“AIS Conveyor 2.0” increases the productiveness by increasing the time of effective work of IS machines and by maximizing the utilization of available sections. It also increases pack-to-melt ratio by decreasing the number of rejections due to shortening of “reaction time”
Create a system of objective control over the time of job change team work (T1) and over the time of reaching the planned glass melt using rate after the job change (T2).
Time T1 and T2
Objective control and KPI analytics system
The system automatically collects, combines and analyzes data. The truth is formed once and forever — the data cannot be changed. This approach creates an objective idea about the efficiency of the production process organization. This is a transparent and effective tool for enterprise management and workers motivation.
Analytics by types and reasons of IS machine downtime
Time of effective operation of the IS machine
Losses control in all areas
Planned and actual time for job change and entering the planned production speed mode (T1 and T2)
Utilization rate of shears and sections
Yield rates of good and used glass melt
Raw materials consumption
The Balance of raw materials is controlled in the form of closed cycle: from the loading of raw materials in a batch house to the shipment of finished products. Data is read directly from the process control system and is synchronized with accounting and recording systems, which eliminates the human factor:
calculation of the percentage of pure charge burn-off
monitoring the consumption of raw materials in the context of ingredients, calculating the change in the remains of own cullet
waste control in all areas
PTM growth
The system reduces "reaction" time by connecting the hot and cold sections of the conveyor by placing a monitor in the operator's rooms. These monitors visualize defects detected by inspection equipment, as well as use online notifications when the critical threshold of defects in any form is exceeded, at the same time measuring the time spent on eliminating the causes of defects.
+4%
The list of defects associated with each product range and mold number is maintained for each inspection machine.
Productivity boost
20%+
The time of effective operation of the IS machine is growing — downtime is reduced with the help of online monitoring and analysis of the types and causes of downtime.
Profit growth after the implementation of the solution
Proven economic effect from using the system
+10%
Increase overall plant productivity through smart scheduling using line-by-line productivity statistics for each range of product. Items are distributed to those lines where they are produced with maximum cutting speed and efficiency (PTM)
Big Data of your factory
During which shifts is the line performance at a higher level?
What is the dynamics of production indicators: a year ago, a month ago, yesterday and today?
What, when and with which speed was produced on the lines?
How much time does it take to do the job change and enter the planned efficiency after the job change?
At what settings of the IS machine the performance of the lines was the best and the worst?
Everything about production in real time and in retrospect!
On which lines each of items is produced with the maximum speed and efficiency?
We have created an APP for smart-phone to help you assign statuses to finished products. The employee scans the pallet code and selects the status:
At the stock
Shipped
Blocked
Rejected
Dissassambeled or any other status which is used in your factory
We adjust the application to your needs and will connect it to any number of employees.
Accounting of pallets according to quality standards
Machine vision and artificial intelligence recognize and read each pallet aswell as check the number of rows. We install cameras in the area of palletizers and shrinking machines. Each pallet will be counted.
What we offer is not just software, but a complex solution including hardware which will provide complete and nonstop data collection. We also provide services for the design and construction of communication infrastructure in the workshops as well as connection to all models of production equipment
“AIS Conveyor 2.0» is a tool for shareholders and senior management that forms an objective picture of the current efficiency of production processes at the enterprise. Objective data are the basis for setting and monitoring the implementation of KPIs aimed at increasing production efficiency.
For production employees — this is a tool that will help you achieve new KPIs and improve the efficiency of production processes.
Customization according to your needs
Individual modification according to the company’s confirmed requirements of financial, management and production accounting systems. Integration to the existing informational systems.
Confidentiality
GlassTech LLC is an independent developer and owner of the solution. The shareholders of the company are individual persons and key members of the project team.
“AIS Conveyor 2.0» does not have access to the company's accounting data, but only provides the ability to automatically request and receive production data through standard protocols.
Systematic approach
"AIS Conveyor 2.0" combines autonomously controlled sectors of the conveyor production into a unified information system without replacing of the existing equipment and its process control systems, supplementing their functionality.
