Imagine being able to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and quality of your glass cutting process—before it even begins.
It sounds like science fiction? In reality it is. OPT, the system developed by Deltamax Automation who transformed a simple intuition into a concrete revolution: analyzing the plates don't wash, immediately before the cutting table, for intercept structural defects and decide, in real time, how to cut better.
Every slab has a story. Some are perfect, others hide bubbles or imperfections that are impossible to fix. Traditionally, these defects are discovered too late, after wasting time, energy, water, and materials.
With OPT, the identification of structural defects is early. The system scans the raw plate and creates a precise map of such defects. Then the cutting software (provided by third parties) comes into play, which rearranges the arrangement of the pieces to be obtained (in jargon, we speak of nesting), excluding defective areas and placing them in the scrap area. No more blind processing of sheets. No more wasted resources.
The benefits?
- Cost: no need to wash the plates to inspect them → lower costs, less space
- Defect Optimization: thanks to the cut reorganized according to the defects
- Reduction of in-line waste: fewer pieces to rework or eliminate
- Improving the production cycle: faster and smoother thanks to waste reduction
And then there is the invisible, but very powerful value: sustainabilityBecause, if you don't wash unsuitable slabs, you save money waterIf they don't come online, you save money. energyIf you don't work, you save money. consumablesAll this without compromising quality, but rather improving it.
OPT was designed for to adapt, not to disrupt. It is easy to install, without changing the line layout or interrupting existing processes. And it is interconnected, perfectly integrable into existing logic. Industry 4.0, capable of communicating in real time with cutting management software.
Its innovative feature was also confirmed with the release of the patent. And most importantly, those who tried it never looked back: many companies, starting with just one line, then decided to extend OPT to their entire production. Trust earned in the field.
OPT isn't just a scanner. It's a new line intelligence. A different way of looking at production: more aware, more efficient, more innovative.
