a Brazilian float glass manufacturer boosts total yield by 3% with RoviSys

A brazilian float glass manufacturer faced significant operational risks due to its quarter-century-old legacy control system. The obsolete system, which relied on custom code and outdated interfaces, decreased operator efficiency, made expansion nearly impossible, and constantly threatened catastrophic downtime. To overcome these challenges, the manufacturer partnered with RoviSys for a complete automation overhaul.

RoviSys implemented a modern, state-of-the-art control solution that integrated a broad range of technologies from multiple vendors into one seamless process. This new system provided easy maintenance, operational flexibility, and a detailed data trail. The upgrade, which included an information bridge to the customer's MES, reversed the plant's risk profile and increased the manufacturing site's total yield by 3%.
