Software
GPS.mon
Break-out display for glass cutting tables
GPS.mon is the visualisation solution for the cutting area. The software displays cutting plans, shapes, storage position information and production data directly at the machine. This supports paperless production, facilitates cooperation between operators and provides a clear real-time display of all relevant information.
How is GPS.mon structured?
GPS.mon comprises several core functional areas:
- Graphical display of cutting plans and optimisation results
- Display of rectangular and shaped glass sheets
- Display of remnant sheets, wastage and stock plates
- Management and display of storage position information
- Label printing and reprinting functions
- Communication with breakout stations
- Interfaces to LiSEC and third-party systems
- Reporting and recording of broken glass sheets
- Operation via monitor, touchscreen or optional foot pedal
- Data communication via the LiSEC Message Router
How does GPS.mon work?
GPS.mon receives cutting and optimisation data from upstream systems and uses them to generate a graphical display of the current cutting plan. Operators receive all relevant information directly on the monitor, including glass-sheet positions, shapes, storage positions and production instructions. Changes and status messages are processed in real time and can be forwarded to other LiSEC systems or connected equipment. Optional functions such as label printing, breakage messages and navigation through cutting plans can be controlled using a foot pedal.
Who is GPS.mon suitable for?
GPS.mon is suitable for:
- Flat glass processors with manual or automated cutting processes
- Operators of float and laminated glass cutting tables
- Production companies using paperless manufacturing
- Companies that want to visualise cutting plans directly at the machine
- Companies requiring storage position displays and real-time information
- Production lines connected to LiSEC or third-party software
- Companies looking to increase transparency and efficiency in the cutting process
Typical areas of application:
- Float glass cutting
- Laminated glass production
- Furnace bed load
- Storage and sorting areas
- Production lines integrated with GPS.hand, GPS.prod or GPS.autofab
What advantages does the software offer?
GPS.mon enables paperless visualisation of cutting plans and production information directly at the machine. Operators receive all relevant data clearly on the monitor, reducing printouts, minimising errors and speeding up workflows. The graphical display of cutting plans, shapes, remnant sheets and storage position information improves transparency in the production process and supports efficient material flow. GPS.mon can also communicate seamlessly with other LiSEC systems and third-party software.

- Extended variants for special applications (e.g. Float, Lami, VZ, TG or GPS.autofab environments)
The Highlights
Paperless production
GPS.mon provides cutting plans, storage position information and production data directly on clearly visible monitors. This eliminates the need for printouts, ensures that up-to-date information is available at all times and enables operators to work together more efficiently.
Graphical cutting plan display
The software visualises optimisation data in a clear graphical display. Alongside rectangular sheets, the software can also display shapes, remnant sheets, wastage areas and complete stock plates. This makes orientation easier and improves process reliability during cutting.
Open system communication
GPS.mon can exchange information with other LiSEC products and connect external systems via the LiSEC Message Router. This enables end-to-end networking of production processes.
