Furnace level
Maintain a stable glass level as production conditions change.
Glass manufacturing / SMARTCO
Consistency starts in the furnace.
SmartCo predictive control for furnace level, temperature and glass conditioning. Coordinate the variables that shape a stable process and consistent product quality.
Discuss your processTHE CONTROL CHALLENGE
Small process variations can travel a long way.
Furnace level fluctuations and temperature disturbances can affect downstream glass quality. SmartCo brings these interacting control objectives into focus, from the furnace to conditioning.
INSIDE THE PROCESS
Where SmartCo takes control.
Furnace temperature
Manage temperature variability and disturbances in the furnace.
Conditioning temperature
Support more consistent thermal conditions downstream.
