The LiteSentry-Softsolution LineScanner is renowned for its precise detection capabilities, allowing for real-time monitoring of surface quality, edge defects, and dimension control.

W.A. Wilson Glass Plus, a family-owned glass company with over 175 years of experience, is excited to announce their latest investment in innovative technology: the LiteSentry-Softsolution LineScanner. This advanced inspection system has been integrated into their LiSEC IG line, marking a significant enhancement in quality assurance for their glass products.

The LiteSentry-Softsolution LineScanner is renowned for its precise detection capabilities, allowing for real-time monitoring of surface quality, edge defects, and dimension control. This system ensures that W.A. Wilson Glass Plus offers the highest standards of product quality, which their customers have come to expect.

Tim Moore, VP of Process Engineering at W.A. Wilson Glass Plus, expressed his enthusiasm for the new system: “The LiteSentry-Softsolution Line Scanner is a great addition to our quality program.The system’s capabilities provide us with the confidence that every piece of glass for IG production meets our quality standards. We are pleased with the improvements it has brought to our production line inspections.”

This investment continues a long-standing partnership between W.A. Wilson Glass Plus and Softsolution. The relationship began in 2016 when W.A. Wilson first adopted Softsolution’s VirtualDigitizing software to convert customer-supplied templates into DXF files for cutting. The success of that first investment laid the foundation for ongoing collaboration, culminating in the acquisition of the LiteSentry Osprey system for tempering in 2017, and upgrades to the latest Osprey 10 system in 2022. The LiteSentry-Softsolution LineScanner is a great downstream quality addition to W. A. Wilson Glass Plus’s current capabilities.

As W.A. Wilson Glass Plus continues to expand its capabilities, the integration of advanced inspection technologies like the LineScanner underscores their commitment to innovation and excellence in the glass industry.
