Cura Glass

With A+W Production, we can plan and conduct our production much more efficiently, especially in the interplay with production control and completion reporting by plant data collection. Currently, we are working with A+W on the implementation of a breakage pool, with which we can reproduce defective lites quickly.

High-quality innovative products are just not enough to be competitive as a glass processor. Requirements such as adherence to delivery dates, flexibility and short delivery times are becoming more and more important, competing in this vein with factors such as quality and costs. Lean processes and far-reaching IT support by our A+W system, which we have been successfully working with for many years, contribute considerably to our success in a fiercely competitive market.

Thanks to A+W Production and A+W Barcoding, the shop floor as well as the A+W Business order processing system know the processing status of every sheet, any time. The staff can answer customers’ enquiries right away on the phone – our customers appreciate this!

My father always used to strive for the optimum production solution. This also applies to the software we are using. We have therefore been using A+W software for more than 30 years, and have never looked back. Another important criterion for us is service. At A+W, this is solution-oriented; their experts know their job and communicate excellently with our staff and machinery partners.

The A+W software controls and checks all processes from entry of the order to control of the machines, on through to delivery of the finished products. Thanks to consistent barcode control and the A+W Production Monitors, we always know where each sheet is at any point in time. All commercial and technical data is available company-wide – and this without having employees running around all the time with folders and stacks of paper under their arms in order to determine what they must do with which sheet (…) All employees work productively! The focus is always on information, all the time and everywhere.

The intelligent networking of our production through A+W Production has shortened delivery times by one to two days. Our staff who used to have to search for sheets and laboriously hand-pick them, now work productively. The process reliability has improved considerably and the error rate dropped to virtually zero.
