From zero defects delivery…
…to zero defects production!
Customers are demanding!
2
Environment is pressing! Competition is tough!
Your focus should be:
� Faster
� Less energy
� Lighter & stronger
� More reproducible
Sustainable production!
What are you doing today?
Container glass forming today
� Focus on zero defects delivery
� A poor (forming) efficiency and effectiveness� PTM
� Weight / volume� Speed of production
� Resorting level
� Customer complaints
Process variation!
A poor (forming) efficiency and effectiveness…
� Prof. Dr.-Ing. H. Hessenkemper, Glas- und Emailtechnik (TU Bergakademie Freiberg)

…resulting in a lot of waste!
� From the outside it looks ok, but……there is a structural imbalance between customer requirement and (forming) process capability / variation
Weight / volume: a mirror
Vertech-data (at random, 7 factories, > 1000 containers)
(Forming) process variation
� Gob shape, temperature, weight
� Gob length, diameter
� Gob speed, position, time of arrival, trajectory
� Temperature blank mould, plunger, neck ring
� Ware spacing
� Glass distribution
� Material change
� Swabbing
� Operator remedial actions
� Job change
� Other factors: day/night, IS machine configuration
Glass for a safer and greener life…
� In order to survive…
� …you should fight against the waste
� …you should strongly focus on improving your
forming process capability / variation
� …you should strongly focus on zero defects
production as necessary precondition for faster, less
energy, lighter & stronger and more reproducible
…requires a strong focus on… How?
� Measurement as precondition for control!
� Manual control
� Replacing opinions by facts is a big step towards
reducing forming process variation!
� Automatic control
� Optimization

Measurement of what?
� Gob shape, temperature, weight
� Gob length, diameter
� Gob speed, position, time of arrival, trajectory
� Temperature blank mould, plunger, neck ring
� Ware spacing
� Glass distribution
� Material change
� Swabbing
� Operator remedial action
� Job change
� Others: day/night, IS machine configuration
Forming process control tools
XPAR Vision HE platform XPAR Vision HE platform
� IR measurement � glass distribution� The bottle is centre point of measurement
� The bottle is where process capability and customer requirements meet
� Individual parameter measurement� High accuracy measurement
� Individual parameter measurement only is not enough!
� Relate measurements� Central and open database
� One central HE U/I
XPAR Vision HE platform IR-D: InfraRed Dual

IR-D: extension of your quality control system
� Process monitoring & supervision: visualizing process variation, on cavity/section/machine
� Increasing overall process capability
� Inspection: eleminating critical defects� Increasing overall inspection capability
Inspection
� Bird swing
� Fin
� Choked neck
� Freak
� Leaner
� Thin spot
� Thin bottom, neck, shoulder, body
� Wedged bottom
� Inclusion
� Shape, dent, bulged
� Stuck ware, fallen ware
Examples re: inspection
Shape, dent, bulged
Bird swing Leaner Thin bottom
Choked neck
Fin
Process monitoring & supervision
� Monitoring of
� Gob temperature variation
� Weight variation
� Composition (redox)
� Loading
� Section performance
� Ware handling
� Cooling
� Speed
� Condition / design
� Operator behavior (swabbing)
� Start up sections
� In terms of
� Statistics of rejected bottles
� Glass distribution
� Intensity variation
� Transport variation
� Signalizing trends, early warnings
Examples re: process monitoring and supervision
Ware handling
Swabbing: predictable but causing waste No influence swab and no waste

2. Loading
optimized
3. Re- adjusted to bad loading
Poor glass distribution
Controlled loading… …reduced swabbing!
Effect of stable and better positioned loading: reduced frequency of swab from 3 to 1 per hour
Operator remedial action most effective
Higher speed, less variation, less sections stops
Blank side Temperature Control
� ‘Continuous’ measurement of temperature of blank halfs, neck ring,
plunger, gob, parison

Plunger temperature day / night Mould temperature: ∆ 40°C within one cycle
Gob Assist and BTC: high accuracy measurement
� Timing + Position
� Potentially dramatic improvements are within reach!
� Being satisfied with less would be very conservative!
Resulting in…
Reduced
variation!
Sustainable
production!
Perfect bottles!
