Glas Herzog GmbH

Automation pioneer – intelligent insulated glass production

In 2006, the first online IG-production went into operation in Germany. The medium-sized company Glas Herzog was the first to connect an automatic sorting system directly to an insulated glass line. This resolved the contradiction “glass yield versus optimal production sequence” intelligently.

Glas Herzog is known in the industry as a reliable, innovative insulated glass partner that always delivers in top quality. It is the broad spectrum of services, from expert advising to production on state-of-the-art systems to timely delivery that Glas Herzog’s customers appreciate.

Automatic line production makes manufacturing as efficient as possible at Glas Herzog. An innovation network including the software partner A+W and the machine partner HEGLA created a solution that has become the industry standard for insulated glass producers.

Dynamic optimization and cutting control system for cutting, breaking, and sorting.

Icon

A+W DynOpt revolutionizes the glass production process by leveraging advanced functions and state-of-the-art technologies that streamline operations. Through automatic linking and mixing of cutting orders, flexible input of residual sheets and stock glass as well as dynamic adjustment of glass types and stock sizes, A+W DynOpt ensures a seamless production process and optimum material utilization.

A notable feature of A+W DynOpt is its capability to integrate glass cutting lines using sorting systems, such as the Lisec buffer and sorting system or Hegla SortJet, with downstream stacking stations or directly connected production lines. It offers fully automated optimization, cutting, and sorting processes for maximum yield while maintaining the desired production sequences. By reducing breakage rejects and enhancing quality, A+W DynOpt, delivers unparalleled efficiency and quality.

The software solution synchronizes multiple cutting tables, enabling simultaneous cutting and breaking of diverse glass types while facilitating automatic load distribution across production lines. Its dynamic optimization algorithm reacts to sorting buffer levels, eliminating the need for extensive sorting systems and allowing for batch sizes of any scale
A+W DynOpt’s key strengths lie in its dynamic nature, ensuring optimal material flow and balanced distribution between cutting and further processing steps.

These strengths eliminate manual steps between cutting and further processing. With enhanced automation and flexibility in planning, whether for individual or daily production, and maximum material yield through the use of a buffer, A+W DynOpt sets new benchmarks in glass production efficiency.
  • Fully automated optimization, cutting, and sorting, including recutting of broken slices
  • Automatic linking and mixing of cutting jobs for seamless production
  • Automatic & flexible input of residual plates and stock sheets
  • Dynamic and flexible modification of glass types and stock sizes
  • Controls residual stock (e.g. Hegla Remaster)
  • Controlled output into one or more harp racks, or directly to one or more IG lines
  • Synchronization of multiple cutting tables – enables cutting and breaking of multiple glass types simultaneously
  • Automatic load distribution across several production lines for optimized efficiency
  • Rush lite /orders are given higher priority for timely processing

A+W Production is an extremely flexible PPS solution for complete rough and detailed scheduling for insulated glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass production. The system allows planning and control of even the most demanding multi-level production flows.

Project implementation was usually more complicated than we would have thought, but everything always went well in the end (…) I don’t know of any better optimization solutions.

A+W Barcode Manager allows for individual glass barcoding and enhances control over glass processing.

Icon

Barcode scanning and tracking saves your employees and company time and money! A+W offers a wide array of functions to streamline production and process oversight.

Take charge of processing steps, keep track of machine utilization, and also record any breakage with ease using A+W’s barcode solution. This solution lays the groundwork for comprehensive evaluations and future planning, which are vital to your company’s current and future success. From status and storage location bookings (per user, station, machine, rack, item, and sheet) to precise processing entries and machine control via barcode scanning, our solution was designed to specifically meet your needs.
  • Status and location bookings per user, station/machine, rack, item & sheet
  • Machine start and control of processing via barcode reading
  • Automatic reject handling (with implemented downstream concept)
  • Statistical evaluations based on barcode readings (e.g. by using Crystal Reports or QLIK)
  • Quality improvements based on breakage bookings
  • Capacity updates based on barcode readings
  • Printout of labels by A+W Production
  • Flexible label design thanks to CR
  • Centralized display of status information based on barcode readings by extension A+W Production Monitor and/or A+W Production Terminals

A+W Business is a complete ERP system for small and medium-sized companies. This commercial solution allows not just the entry of quotations, orders, credit notes, complaints, delivery notes, and the management of purchase orders and inquiries, but also control of other company areas (e. g. stock, purchasing, dispatch, etc.)

A+W Business Pro is a professional and cost-effective entry-level solution for small and medium-sized companies where order processing and production planning are completely integrated.

A+W Production is an extremely flexible PPS solution for complete rough and detailed scheduling for insulated glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass production. The system allows planning and control of even the most demanding multi-level production flows.

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 Barcode Tracking has taken our entire production organization to a new performance level. Only with it are we in a position to truly organize ourselves efficiently without long information paths, complicated inquiries, and time-consuming re-makes. Earlier, an employee frequently had to search for racks for hours in order to find a sheet if he was not sure whether or not it had been produced yet. Today, he just looks in the system – done!
