Industrial Protection for Glass Manufacturing

Incident Escalation Prevention
for Glass Manufacturing

A locally processed protection system for the hot-end, detecting incidents, supporting operators and triggering automatic responses, while turning every event into data the plant owns.

Protection built around the glass plant.

IS Machine & Hot-End

IS Protect Plus

Prevents incidents escalating and improves production efficiency.

More than detection. IS Protect Plus identifies incidents, triggers configured responses and turns every event into useful operational information.

  • Identifies incidents as they happen
  • Triggers configured plant responses
  • Turns every event into operational data

Furnace Areas

Furnace Protect

Instant notification of furnace run-outs.

Simple, safety-led thermal monitoring that alerts your team the moment a run-out occurs, so they can act before it becomes a major incident.

The Problem We Solve

Fires Are Usually the Result of Earlier Incidents

01 Fallen ware
02 Stray gob
03 Glass build-up
04 Jam-up
05 Abnormal heat
06 Burst pipe
Escalation Fire · Damage · Downtime

Most fires begin as small production incidents. The challenge isn't the fire itself. It's identifying these early events quickly enough, and responding consistently, every shift.

Real Incidents

Real manufacturing events. Mitigated.

Captured on production glass forming machines: detected, verified and contained automatically.

Mould Side: Fire Detected IS Protect Plus

A fire on the mould side (sections 1 to 5) is detected and flagged on screen within seconds.

Hot-End Hood: Stray Detected IS Protect Plus

Stray ware detected on the hot-end conveyors. Audible and visible alarms triggered, then the hot-end reject activated automatically one second later.

Every Incident Generates Useful Data

More than a safety system.

The system doesn't simply detect and prevent incidents. Every event creates a record the plant can use to understand what is happening and improve the process.

Your plant. Your data. Your insight.

IS Machine Report: Incidents detected, broken down by section and incident type.

IS Machine Report

Incidents detected, broken down by section and incident type.

Event Log: Every event logged with timestamp, type, section, alert level and video.

Every event logged with timestamp, type, section, alert level and video.

Events & Downtime: Total events and downtime for each section, side by side.

Events & Downtime

Total events and downtime for each section, side by side.

Factory Report: Section downtime analysis across alerts, maintenance and swabbing.

Proven in Production: An Example

1,700+

incidents logged and mitigated in 12 months

On a single IS machine

That's one machine. A plant may run ten or more, every one of them generating incidents like these.

Strays

Blank side ~54/mo 648/yr
Mould side ~88/mo 1,056/yr

Contained, including alert, alarm and automatic safe section stop.

Gob Delivery

19

incidents

Each triggered a full machine stop.

Fires

2

incidents

Automatically triggered suppression system (the plant's existing, already-installed dousing system).

Result

Lower downtime risk

High-severity events contained

Better safety and reliability
