We see the challenges you are facing in the glass industry. But our customers are seeing the solutions. They aren’t crushed by inflation because they are: ☑ proactively reducing maintenance costs ☑ extending the life of their assets ☑ maximizing glass production They aren’t concerned about new melting techniques because: ☑ They know the condition of their refractory. ☑ They work with their Asset Manager to make adjustments based on data. They don’t worry about the workforce transformation to the next generation because: ☑ They have data transparency across their organization. ☑ Asset Managers are building a data-driven culture in their company. ☑ They are attracting top talent because of digitalization Their insurance premiums are lower 📉 because they use radar technology. They aren’t constantly fighting emergencies 🔥. In fact, these challenges have become 💡 opportunities to move into the future of glassmaking. #datadrivendecisionmaking #glassindustry #glassbottles #flatglass #floatglass

Is an internal audit enough? While internal audits undoubtedly have their place in the overall audit strategy, they can often be limited by internal data and perspectives. A company's internal audit team, despite their best efforts, can sometimes lack the broader view required to spot industry-wide trends or issues. They may also find it difficult to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and audit techniques being used in the industry. Our auditors and asset managers bring global insights from over 500 furnaces. This means that they are not just relying on data from your company alone but are using insights gathered from numerous sources to give a more complete view of your furnace's health. Furthermore, at PaneraTech, we champion a culture of #datadrivendecisionmaking. We believe that decisions about your furnace's health should not be made on gut feel or instinct, but should be based on solid, reliable data. With PaneraTech, you can have the best of both worlds - the internal knowledge of your own team, combined with the global insights and data-driven approach of ours. It's time to consider Digital Furnace Management (DFM) as part of your strategy for proactive furnace management. #glassindustry #flatglass #glassbottles

Our successful partnership with Vidrala has led to great collaboration between our teams. We are working together using technology, data, and expertise to meet Vidrala’s goals. Mattia Gorin and Laurence Caron-Vidon recently visited one of the many plants that have been digitally transformed as part of the PaneraTech, Inc. Digital Furnace Management (DFM) program. Alba López   #digitaltransformation #datadrivendecisionmaking #glassindustry  

📊 Building a Data-Driven Culture in Glass Manufacturing The shift to a data-driven culture is pivotal for industries looking to innovate. In glass manufacturing, integrating #AI and #IoT technologies has enabled even less experienced teams to achieve expert-level decision-making. By making data visible and actionable, companies are empowering their workforce to make smarter decisions, enhancing both safety and productivity. Emphasizing data literacy as a core skill across all levels of the organization ensures that every team member can interpret and utilize data effectively. Advanced analytics and predictive modeling further revolutionize how we anticipate and solve furnace campaign challenges, leading to unprecedented levels of efficiency. Moreover, fostering a collaborative environment where data insights are shared freely among teams enhances collective problem-solving capabilities. Let's explore how transparency can transform your operations! #datadrivendecisionmaking #glassindustry

Digital transformation must be embraced at all levels of management in order to be successful. For PaneraTech customers, our team plays a key role in building a data-driven culture across all levels of management.

How difficult is it to make the transformation to Digital Furnace Management (DFM)? Manufacturers ask this often. They know they need to go digital, but it sounds so hard. PaneraTech takes care of every detail for you: • Our team consults with you to set goals and create an action plan. • Our team builds the digital models of each furnace. • Our team uploads all your furnace history. • Our team installs sensors and collects data. • Our team evaluates furnace operations • Our team takes care of training your staff. • Our asset managers lead your team to make proactive decisions and build a data-driven culture. What’s left for you to do? Just give us a call. #digitaltransformation #ai #glassindustry

Do you know the hidden cost of furnace operations that are not carefully audited? Early in the furnace campaign, furnace operations are often ignored. Your team is too busy focusing on emergency repairs in an older furnace. But while your attention is diverted, your young furnace is quietly spiraling toward the next emergency. Refractory wear is accelerating as the glass temperature is raised above the necessary level to eliminate defects. These temperatures are also harming boosters and electrodes. Don’t forget the foam collecting on the glass surface, reflecting damaging heat onto the superstructure. Cooling is not working properly in some areas, causing that wear to be uneven. The batch moisture is not sufficient, and that dry batch is blowing against your regenerators. All of these issues can be prevented with a regular audit of operations procedures. #smartaudit #hiddencosts #glassindustry #glassbottles #flatglass #floatglass
