Push beyond the haze
The new White Haze Scanner by Glaston and Softsolution is the first AI-based online solution that gives you a high-quality visual indication of where the white haze is on the processed glass. The detection algorithm was developed in Finland in collaboration with the global glass industry.
The neural network developed detects white haze in processed glasses and objectively categorizes the haze marks by strength into three intensity levels. By instantly notifying you about the issue, the solution allows you to react immediately, define your own quality standards and contribute toward a unified glass industry haze standard.

Tim Widner at Lippert Components in the US is sharing his and his team's experiences working with the Glaston glass processing machinery. "The new equipment has been a great addition to us. We are able to one-piece flow our raw material through our line, hands-free. No humans come in contact with the glass until it is fully tempered and at the end of the process."
