The highlight of the tempering demo was Glaston\u2019s FC Series E tempering line, featuring the industry-leading Autopilot<\/strong>. The only solution on the market offering a fully automated tempering process for highly variable mixed production, Autopilot impressed visitors with its ability to eliminate operator dependency, stabilize quality, reduce waste, and increase overall efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tour also introduced other automation innovations like Batch Optimization<\/strong>, a robotized solution for automatic and optimized furnace loading, Online Stress Calculation<\/strong>, which provides a highly reliable way to monitor hardening results in real time, and a new Glass Temperature Imaging <\/strong>system that ensures reliable Low-E glass temperature monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laminated glass production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Visitors were introduced to the ProL\u202fSPEED<\/strong> \u2013 the world\u2019s fastest and most user-friendly laminating line for mixed glass production. The line features advanced convection control, which ensures extremely high yield and fully automatic operation \u2013 even for complex laminates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The robot building a laminate sandwich<\/strong> attracted much attention. Its gentle handling is especially valuable for thin glass applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the automatic foil trimming<\/strong> feature demonstrated how automation supports accuracy and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insulating glass production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the Rakla Tampere Oy factory, participants viewed high-performance insulating glass production with Glaston\u2019s JUMBO TPS\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> line. The demo emphasized the role of automation in creating sustainable, high-quality insulating glass units with maximum productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Automotive glass production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The tours also covered Glaston\u2019s automotive glass solutions, including MATRIX EVO<\/strong>, a modular line for bending challenging modern windshields and sunroofs. The line has proven especially effective for borosilicate glass, providing a more durable and lightweight solution than normal soda lime glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another highlight developed in collaboration with Glaston was the latest innovation from Miru, a Step Change company present at the latest two Glass Performance Days (GPD) events. The company\u2019s dynamic electrochromic windows (eWindows)<\/strong> feature a controllable glass tint level. During the tours, visitors got a glimpse of the high-tech production process behind the technology. Since GPD 2023, the Glaston-Miru collaboration has evolved into a solution to transform automotive glazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glaston proudly welcomed the global glass community on a series of exclusive demo tours at its facilities in Tampere, Finland, as part of GPD 2025. The tours showcased Glaston\u2019s most recent solutions, boosting efficiency and quality across glass tempering, laminating, insulating, and bending processes, giving attendees firsthand experience of the innovations driving the industry forward.
