"The A+W programs digitize various processes, they tap various data silos, and therefore allow our machines to communicate with one another. Only this way is it possible for us to continue increasing customer satisfaction, further increase productivity and efficiency, and thus guarantee our delivery speed of up to 48 hours for TG."

Spiegel Thomas

Dynamische Fertigung – höchste Qualität

Mit einem faszinierenden Geschäftsmodell hat das inhabergeführte Unternehmen Spiegel Thomas die Fertigung und Auslieferung hochwertiger Interieur-Gläser neu definiert. Die Münchener Glasveredler liefern in Bayern jede bestellte Scheibe innerhalb von vierundzwanzig Stunden, ESG-Scheiben binnen achtundvierzig Stunden.

Spiegel Thomas hat frühzeitig steigende Kundenanforderungen an Lieferfähigkeit, engagierten Service und höchste Qualität erkannt und das Unternehmen konsequent danach ausgerichtet. Sechzig gut ausgebildete Mitarbeiter und modernste, von intelligenter A+W Software gesteuerte CNC-Maschinen sorgen in der Produktion für höchste Performance und extrem kurze Durchlaufzeiten.

Basis der qualitativ hochwertigen und schnellen Bearbeitungen bei Spiegel Thomas sind die vernetzt gesteuerten CNC-Bearbeitungszentren.

Zur automatischen Ansteuerung der Maschinen setzt Spiegel Thomas auf die von A+W entwickelte Schnittstelle A+W CAM-DXF, die neben den geometrischen Daten der Scheibe auch maschinenbezogene Informationen wie z.B. über Werkzeuge, Saugerpositionierung etc. mitliefert.

Spiegel Thomas fertigt fast ausschließlich Losgröße eins. Müssten die CNC-Maschinen für jede Scheibe manuell programmiert werden, könnte das Unternehmen sein Produktionsvolumen nicht annähernd erreichen: Das Geschäftsmodell wäre nicht umsetzbar.

A+W Production Terminal transforms production processes within the glass industry by utilizing robust capabilities and an user-friendly interface. This software solution facilitates interactive process visualization, real-time production data acquisition, and seamless control.

One notable feature the A+W Production Terminal is its ability to visualize pane setups, dimensions and processing steps, and provide employees with a clear overview of ongoing processes that require immediate intervention when necessary. Additionally, each terminal supports the display of CAD drawings and document links, which enhance communication and collaboration throughout production.

The integration of A+W Barcode Manager with the A+W Production Terminal is another key aspect, enabling efficient booking of breakage slices and reasons, along with machine status feedback and automatic scrap handling, which collectively enhances productivity, efficiency and processing quality.

This is why we have satisfied customers and low complaint rates.

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.
