Let's discover how the A-WR system, il , i-AL package, and PLM IoT i-Like Machines software can revolutionize the daily operations of glass producers!

A-WR System: automatic wheel adjustment

The A-WR system represents a significant leap forward for SMEs operating in glass processing. Thanks to this exclusive solution, the wheel adjustment process becomes fully automatic,eliminating the need for manual intervention and drastically reducing set-up times. This advanced system allows precise and consistent control of wheel pressure and position, ensuring a flawless finish and significantly enhancing the quality of the final product.

This technology proves essential for small glassworks, as it increases processing accuracy,reduces the margin for human error, and saves valuable time. In an environment where optimizing human and material resources is crucial, the A-WR system boosts productivity and enhances quality—two fundamental elements for maintaining business competitiveness.

i-AL Package: maximum automation and integration for your glassworks

Designed by our experts as a modular and versatile solution, the i-AL system is ideal for those looking to bring their production into the world of Industry 4.0. This advanced package integrates mechanical, electronic, and software components that communicate seamlessly, ensuring full automation of glass processing.

The i-AL package offers SMEs complete process automationfrom glass sheet loading to unloading, thus minimizing manual intervention and reducing downtime. The system connects with the entire production plant, enabling centralized and efficient control. Furthermore, i-AL is highly flexible, easily adapting to existing machinery and allowing for gradual implementation, making it an accessible solution even for those who wish to take small steps toward full automation.

For a small or medium-sized company that often lacks personnel dedicated to continuous maintenance, this solution ensures reliability and operational continuity. With its total integration, the i-AL package streamlines processes and reduces the likelihood of machine downtime or interruptions, ensuring overall efficiency.

PLM IoT i-Like Machines Software: monitoring and maintenance of glass processing machinery

To make the most of glass processing machinery (grinders, bevellers, vertical washers, etc.), Adelio Lattuada has developed the PLM IoT i-Like MachinesPLM IoT i-Like Machines software, a platform that allows machines to be connected and monitored in real-time.This solution provides an intuitive user interface for managing and controlling machinery and offers in-depth production data analysis, delivering tangible benefits for plant management.

With PLM IoT i-Like Machines software, SMEs can monitor the production cycle in real-time, keeping track of machine efficiency and detecting any anomalies before they lead to interruptions. The ability to receive alerts in the event of malfunctions enables prompt intervention, while collecting and analyzing historical data helps identify areas for improvement and production trends. Proactively planning maintenance becomes easier, minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

Automation: a real competitive advantage for SMEs in the glass industry

Although it's often believed that innovative technologies and automation systems are suitable only for large industries, the innovations developed by Adelio Lattuada demonstrate how automation can also be implemented in smaller contexts bringing concrete benefits and a significant return on investment.

The adoption of the A-WR, i-AL systems, and PLM IoT i-Like Machines software transforms each machine into a powerhouse of precision and productivity, contributing to increased production and improved quality. With these systems SMEs can reduce processing times, optimize resources, and drastically cut waste and energy consumption,according with increasingly sustainable business management.

But that’s not all: small and medium-sized glassworks can leverage these technologies to expand their production capacity, enhance process management, and better meet market demands. Automation thus represents a tangible competitive advantage for SMEs, enabling them to compete with big companies through operational efficiency and unrestricted productivity.
