Global glass automation services for demanding glass manufacturers

Surprises in any business are bad. Delaying startup in a glass plant—the ultimate continuous process—is much worse.

In this environment, you want a partner that prepares and delivers glass automation projects. One that develops a solid definition of the scope of work to be done. That has the systems to keep projects on track and you up to date. That has the resources and the will to overcome early challenges.

What you want, the people of RoviSys deliver.

Working for the most demanding companies in glass

Glass manufacturing has many technical challenges. Providing a high availability control system that can stand the test of time is one of the most critical. Today’s melters may run continuously for 15 years or more. You need a system that is not only reliable but durable and supportable.

Some of the most demanding companies in the glass business choose RoviSys as their automation partner. One of them has been a client for more than a decade. The relationship has grown through mutual respect and common drive to become the best in our respective industries, and also because we have consistently brought new technology online by deadline resulting in successful long term operation.

This includes providing you with:

• Single-source capability to engineer high-availability hot end control systems as well as batch house and material handling controls.
• Significant experience in high-tech LCD substrate, float, fiberglass, plate, container and consumer glass—plus dozens of non-glass batch and continuous process industries.
• Experience completing high-profile projects for clients throughout North America and Asia.
• Proven projects management systems and collaboration culture. These allow us to detect and respond to any variances from the expected.
• More than 170 engineers and developers capable of creating solutions for the most challenging and demanding manufacturing applications.
• Extensive knowledge of modern control systems as well as legacy system interfaces, campaign extensions, and system replacements.
• A commitment to providing you with the best solution for your needs, not ours or any vendor's.

And because we focus on developing accurate job specifications, we deliver more glass controls projects on time and budget-for a lower final cost.
