HEGLA-HANIC Demonstrates How AI Is Streamlining Glass Processing Workflows

HEGLA-HANIC is showcasing how AI-powered software solutions can automate routine tasks while supporting employees in their daily work.

According to Dr. Jan Schäpers, CEO of HEGLA-HANIC GmbH, AI delivers the greatest value where repetitive tasks consume time and are prone to human error, allowing employees to focus on higher-value activities.

HEGLA-HANIC's AI solutions automatically process incoming orders from multiple sources—including emails, digital forms, photos, EDI files and even fax—checking them for plausibility, correcting inconsistencies and transferring approved data directly into the glass365 ERP system.

The company's AI capabilities also extend to automated quotation generation, real-time price calculations and intelligent inventory management with raw glass purchase recommendations. Together, these technologies help glass processors improve productivity, increase accuracy and optimize purchasing decisions.

As digitalization continues to reshape the glass industry, HEGLA-HANIC demonstrates how artificial intelligence is becoming an important driver of efficiency, quality and competitiveness across glass processing operations.
