Case Study: Cardinal Glass Industries achieves a 21st-century, mission-critical control room with Planar Systems' Clarity Matrix video walls

Cardinal Glass Industries - Customer Case Study

Cardinal Glass Industries needed a modern, mission‑critical control room for its Portage, Wisconsin float glass plant to enable continuous, reliable monitoring of nonstop manufacturing lines. Systems integrator Spye specified Planar Systems’ Clarity Matrix solutions — including Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall and Clarity Matrix Touch Video Wall (MX46 models) — to replace the old interface and give operators a large, high‑performance operational display.

Planar Systems delivered a 7x2 (14‑panel) 46" Clarity Matrix video wall with Planar ERO optically bonded glass and EasyAxis mounting, plus a 3x3 Clarity Matrix Touch wall for process monitoring and demonstrations. The installation provides virtually seamless 6.7 mm bezels, 700 nits brightness and 3500:1 contrast, supports electronic annotation and at‑the‑second camera and production data feeds, and is backed by Planar’s three‑year advanced replacement warranty — resulting in faster, more accurate operator decisions, improved quality control, and a more efficient, resilient control‑room environment.
