A+W DynOpt is a dynamic optimization and cutting control system for cutting, breaking, and sorting. As an add-on for the A+W production system A+W Production, it optimizes waste to achieve maximum yield while adhering to the predefined production sequence and it controls dynamic sorting systems such as the HEGLA SortJet. With A+W DynOpt, it is possible for the first time to create any desired sequence without having to reduce profitability.
A+W DynOpt allows the simultaneous cutting and breaking of several glass types. The system controls and synchronizes several cutting tables, sorting buffers, and residual lite management systems and ensures realtime data exchange with other production systems such as the insulated glass line. In combination with a dynamically-controlled intermediate buffer a continuous glass flow is achieved, into which rush orders and remakes can be inserted in timely fashion with a constant waste ratio.
A+W DynOpt Basic is the starter version of A+W DynOpt. In basic mode, A+W DynOpt works directly with racks, which are filled either manually or with a simple sorting system without intermediate buffer. At least for the major glass types, A+W DynOpt Basic produces excellent glass yield and prevents left-over lites, thus ensuring a continuous flow of completed harp racks from cutting.
