Case Study: Glas Schöninger boosts efficiency and delivery reliability with A+W Software

Glas Schöninger - Customer Case Study

Glas Schöninger, a medium-sized glass refiner and insulated glass manufacturer, faced a difficult market situation and needed to improve its flexibility, delivery reliability, and customer service to compete. To achieve this, the company partnered with vendor A+W Software to optimize its production processes with state-of-the-art software and move towards a smart factory model.

The solution implemented by A+W Software included its DynOpt real-time optimization for cutting, the A+W Production Terminal for error prevention, and intelligent interfaces for fully-automatic creation of machine codes, eliminating manual programming. This allowed Glas Schöninger to efficiently produce lot sizes of 1. The results included significantly shorter delivery times for high-end products, minimal waste, defect-free sheets, and comprehensive sheet tracing via barcode reading, which eliminated time-consuming searches and improved overall production organization.
