Case Study: Float Glass Industries achieves smarter, faster glass production with A+W Software

Float Glass Industries - Customer Case Study

Float Glass Industries (FGI), a major UK-based independent supplier of flat glass for construction, needed to enhance its high-tech production environment to maintain its competitive edge through superior service and maximum flexibility. To achieve this, they partnered with A+W Software to implement a comprehensive and integrated IT system, including A+W Production and A+W Business order processing software, to network their entire operation.

The solution from A+W Software provided FGI with a highly-integrated system that automated machine programming, optimized material use to reduce waste, and implemented barcoding for real-time pane tracking from production to shipping. This resulted in significantly streamlined processes, allowing FGI to answer customer queries instantly, reduce its CO2 footprint through "green production," and ensure the highest quality with immediate reworking of any defects. A+W's software was credited as a key contributor to FGI's ongoing competitive success.
