LIS.linemanagement
Control and Monitoring of Insulated Glass Production
LIS.linemanagement links production planning with the insulating glass line and controls the automated production process. Production data is transferred to the individual machines in the defined sequence, visualised and monitored. The solution supports shapes, quality control, breakage management and the reporting of ready messages to higher-level systems.
How is LIS.linemanagement structured?
LIS.linemanagement consists of several key components:
Production data interface
- Import of production batches from GPS.prod or a third-party system
- Automatic distribution of production data to the machines
- Provision of CNC data for individual line components
User interface (Cockpit)
- Visualisation of insulating glass units
- Display of components, texts, steps and Georgian bars
- Status tracking during production
Loading display
- Overview of all production batches
- Graphical display of the unit build-up
- Support for correct manual loading of the line
Order editor
- Direct entry of individual sheets or production batches at the line
- Graphical support during order entry
Linemonitor (add-on)
- Central monitoring of the entire insulating glass line
- Real-time display of machine and production data
- Display of sheet positions and associated IG units
Quality and traceability functions
- Barcode integration
- Integration of the LiSEC quality scanner
- Breakage and remake management
- Ready messages to higher-level systems
How does LIS.linemanagement work?
- Production orders are imported from production planning or a third-party system.
- LIS.linemanagement imports the data and organises the production sequence.
- The required production and CNC data is automatically distributed to the individual machines on the insulating glass line.
- During production, the system tracks the status of each unit and visualises relevant information for the operator.
- Ready messages, quality data and breakage reports are recorded and fed back to production planning.
- If required, remake orders can be generated automatically and fed back into production.
Who is LIS.linemanagement suitable for?
Insulating glass manufacturers
- For companies with automated or semi-automated insulating glass lines.
- Particularly suitable for medium-sized to large production environments.
Operations producing complex products
- Production of shapes
- Stepped insulating glass units
- Multiple glazing
- Georgian bar and special units
Companies with stringent transparency and quality requirements
- Real-time production tracking
- Quality control through scanner integration
- Breakage management and barcode-based traceability
Highly automated IG lines
- Particularly recommended or required for lines with TPA, VSA/FSA systems, Fast Lane, Velocity Plus or comparably complex insulating glass lines.
What advantages does the software offer?
LIS.linemanagement ensures a seamless and transparent production process on the insulating glass line. The software automatically imports production data from production planning, distributes the required information to the individual machines and supports the operator with graphical visualisations and status displays. This reduces errors, increases productivity and improves traceability. Functions such as shape control, breakage management, barcode integration and quality control also contribute to efficient and reliable production.

The Highlights
Automated production control
LIS.linemanagement imports production data directly from production planning and automatically distributes the required information to all machines involved. This reduces manual intervention and ensures a stable, efficient production process.
Production monitoring and breakage management
The software tracks the status of each unit along the entire line. Broken sheets are detected and documented and can be automatically fed back into production using integrated remake functions, reducing downtime.
Quality assurance and traceability
Integration of barcode systems, label printing and the LiSEC quality scanner enables complete production traceability. Quality data can be linked directly to the units produced.
