In practice, Glaston’s Tempering Autopilot means a smarter, more autonomous tempering process. It continuously monitors and adjusts key process parameters in real time, ensuring optimal furnace performance without the need for operator intervention.

The system uses advanced algorithms and sensor data to automatically fine-tune heating and cooling settings based on the glass type, size, and load. This results in more consistent quality, fewer rejects, and significantly reduced setup times between batches.

By minimizing manual adjustments and human error, the Tempering Autopilot not only improves efficiency but also ensures repeatable, high-quality results from batch to batch. It’s like always having an expert operator on duty, keeping the process stable and optimized. Moreover, Autopilot can dynamically react to changes in the process more quickly and accurately than a human operator could.

In short, Tempering Autopilot brings intelligence and automation to the tempering line, helping glass processors achieve better quality, higher throughput, and more predictable production.
