Embracing Change

In an era where higher quality specifications are demanded by an increasingly educated and discerning market, glass manufacturers face a pressing need to elevate their quality control standards.

Moreover, automation is reshaping the workforce landscape, necessitating quality control systems capable of maintaining peak efficiency with fewer experienced workers on the line. Amidst these shifts, the pursuit of higher throughput underscores the critical importance of advanced quality control solutions. It is within this dynamic landscape that Softsolution, LiteSentry and Strainoptics emerge as leaders, offering cutting-edge technologies designed to meet the evolving needs of the glass industry.

In Burnsville (MN) groundbreaking solutions are developed to revolutionize the way to inspect and assess glass quality. Among the impressive lineup of products, two stand out as game-changers in the realm of quality control: the Osprey 10 Complete Distortion and Anisotropy Inspection System and the LineScanner All-in-One Quality Inspection System.

Osprey 10 Measures all Forms of Distortion

Distortion in glass can be a significant concern, particularly in applications where optical clarity is essential. The Osprey 10 Distortion tackles this challenge head-on with its cutting-edge analysis techniques and precise measurement capabilities. By providing accurate distortion metrics, manufacturers can optimize their processes to minimize distortions and deliver flawless glass products. Eric Hegstrom, an esteemed expert in glass quality control systems, and Nate Huffman, another distinguished expert in the field, shared invaluable insights into the optical quality control and its role in enhancing glass quality at GPAD 2024.

LineScanner All-in-One Quality Inspection for Flat Glass

The LineScanner is not just another inspection tool. It's a comprehensive solution designed to streamline quality control processes for flat glass manufacturers. With its advanced imaging technology and intelligent algorithms, the LineScanner can detect even the slightest defects or deviations in glass quality, ensuring that only products meeting the highest standards make it to the market. 

At GPAD 2024 in Nashville, attendees enjoyed in-depth explorations of these revolutionary systems, presented by industry experts Nate Huffman and Eric Hegstrom. From understanding the underlying technology to witnessing real-world applications, participants gained invaluable knowledge that has the potential to elevate their glass manufacturing operations to new heights.
