Artificial intelligence’, ‘Deep learning’ and ‘Neural networks’ are just some of the expressions we are learning about day by day, and which will soon be taking us all to the next level as we learn how to harness the power and apply it into new inspection technologies. 

Downstream ware handling performance is directly proportional to the placement of containers transferred onto the conveyor. Jarmo Kammonen explains how Bucher Emhart Glass has honed the pusher motion of its ware handling products.

In a series of articles that started in the September/October 2020 issue of Glass Worldwide, industry experts from Bucher Emhart Glass have discussed the importance of data being translated among the different systems in the glass container manufacturing process. In this final installment, Mike Rentschler discusses how cold end inspection systems are the ultimate smart sensors in the process. As noted in the first article in the series, speaking the same language is the key.

Bucher Emhart Glass, the leading global supplier of machinery and parts to the glass-container industry, has revealed the latest iteration of its advanced FleXinspect vision inspection range. 

Bucher Emhart Glass secures major order from CP Glass, Poland, for seven ID Mark units. This laser marking unit inscribes a unique code allowing to track each glass container through its life-time with 150 units already installed worldwide. 

Data is power but only if the data is accurate. Andreas Helfenstein and Martin Grönblad detail how smart sensors developed by Bucher Emhart Glass allow automatic adjustments and process improvements that can translate into significant time and cost savings.
