A+W Clarity Reference
Glas Schöninger
The A+W Barcode Tracking has taken our entire production organization to a new performance level. Only with it are we in a position to truly organize ourselves efficiently without long information paths, complicated inquiries, and time-consuming re-makes. Earlier, an employee frequently had to search for racks for hours in order to find a sheet if he was not sure whether or not it had been produced yet. Today, he just looks in the system – done!

The A+W programs digitize various processes, they tap various data silos, and therefore allow our machines to communicate with one another. Only this way is it possible for us to continue increasing customer satisfaction, further increase productivity and efficiency, and thus guarantee our delivery speed of up to 48 hours for TG.

A+W Clarity Reference
Rakvåg
The A+W software controls and checks all processes from entry of the order to control of the machines, on through to delivery of the finished products. Thanks to consistent barcode control and the A+W Production Monitors, we always know where each sheet is at any point in time. All commercial and technical data is available company-wide – and this without having employees running around all the time with folders and stacks of paper under their arms in order to determine what they must do with which sheet (…) All employees work productively! The focus is always on information, all the time and everywhere.

iShape
For the production of non-rectangular or extra-large shapes, glass processors frequently receive hand-drawn templates on paper, cardboard, wood, etc. from their customer. In order to fabricate these non-rectangular or larger shapes, modern CNC machines require digital data.
To solve this problem, A+W, in conjunction with Viprotron, developed a user-friendly, easy-to-operate app called A+W iShape.
With A+W iShape you can use your smartphone to photograph the template. The only requirement is A+W’s L-shaped reference objects that have to be placed on the template. Once photographed, the app will digitize the template by transforming the shape into an easy to edit outline, ready to be imported into A+W CAD Designer.
What makes A+W iShape special? In contrast to older solutions, there is no need to calibrate the camera! A+W iShape works with any quality smartphone camera.
- Place the L-shaped reference objects to automatically detect the template/photographed object.
- The L-shaped reference objects help correct any distortions when photographing a template.
- Once photographed, the iShape file can be imported into A+W CAD Designer, where further edits can be done.
- Transfer the DXF file to your CNC machine and start the production.
- Quick, reliable digitalization of templates
- Use of a good smartphone camera instead of an expensive, heavy digital camera
- Automatic import of the photo into the A+W CAD Designer
- Smoothing of the contour via the A+W patented smoothing process
- Output as DXF or A+W CAD format (SN) for use in A+W ERP and control of your machines with quick transfer to CNC machines
- Reliable compensation of distortions thanks to the reference object
- No calibration of the camera required
- Automatic import of the photo into the A+W CAD Designer
