Solutions for manufacturers
of all types of glass panes
Today's insulating glass is...
...versatile and true all-rounders
The insulating glass industry has undergone enormous change in recent years and has developed into a highly specialized branch of industry that manufactures a wide variety of products in the shortest possible time and to the highest quality according to individual customer requirements.
What was once a standardized production of window glass is now a complex process that relies on state-of-the-art technologies and highly automated machines. The requirements placed on insulating glass products are diverse and include energy-efficient solutions, static requirements, sound insulation and burglary protection.
Overall, the insulating glass industry today faces the challenge of producing a large number of complex products in the highest quality and, above all, in the shortest possible time. in the shortest possible time. The strict requirements for energy efficiency, statics, sound insulation and burglary protection must be met. Only by using the latest technologies and working closely with customers can manufacturing companies master this demanding task and meet the growing demands of the market.
Whether facade manufacturers with direct delivery to the construction site or window manufacturers with delivery to the factory, both work on a highly order-related basis, meaning that the insulating glass panes must be delivered exactly when they are needed at the construction site or in production. This means that insulating glass manufacturers have to coordinate their production planning closely with customer requirements.
These requirements mean that companies in the insulating glass industry have to make their production processes more flexible. processes. This requires not only a high production capacity, but also intelligent production control and efficient logistics. Modern production facilities are therefore largely automated and digitally networked to ensure fast, error-free production.
It is precisely this development that additional requirements on the (digital) collaboration between the glass producer and its processing customer.
What challenges exist
As a result of the development towards ultra-modern manufacturing operations, software manufacturers in the industry have focused very strongly on the pure production process. Internal production processes have thus been efficiently solved, but manufacturers are now faced with another major challenge:
With "just in time" deliveries, processing customers want fast, simple and maximum transparency for their orders and products.
This development is a result of increasingly complex supply chains and rising expectations for fast, precise and reliable delivery of products. Further processing customers, who are themselves under great time pressure from their customers or construction projects, with a simultaneous shortage of skilled workers, demand a smooth exchange of information from manufacturers in order to be able to plan their own processes better and design them efficiently.
A key challenge here is the often non-existent interfaces to existing software systems from insulating glass producers to window or façade manufacturers, meaning that a lot of data has to be recorded and checked twice before it can be reused.
Above all, the quick and easy exchange of data between insulating glass manufacturers and processing customers is essential for greater efficiency in collaboration. It requires digital concepts as well as organizational adjustments and communication in order to remain competitive in the long term.
What solutions we offer
BISS.ID sees itself as the central, digital platform for all data relating to the creation, delivery and complete life cycle of construction products of all kinds.Without expanding or changing the existing system landscape and all production-relevant processes, BISS.ID makes it easy to digitize every product and process. The solution offers a complete overview of all orders, products and transport racks.
With our cloud-based IoT solution, we offer manufacturers and their customers an uncomplicated and simple solution for maximum transparency and a fast flow of information. The solution can be accessed immediately without software installation from any mobile device once the user profile has been approved. Be it via backend or with the APP (IOS & Android).
In addition, any production and ERP system can be connected. The solution is also multi-client capable, so that company groups can work comprehensively, but customers can also combine several suppliers in one account for a maximum overview of all orders regardless of the supplier.
