Nisthora for glass manufacturing.
Glass furnaces run without stopping for years, while forming machines and lehrs turn out product every second. Nisthora watches temperatures and equipment health across the line and records every stop on the forming side.
What gets in the way.
Furnace never stops
Furnace conditions must be watched every minute of every day.
Forming losses
Forming machines stop for jams, swabbing and job changes.
Energy
Furnaces are among the largest energy users in a plant.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- Melting furnaces
- IS forming machines
- Float baths
- Annealing lehrs
- Inspection machines
- Packing lines
Readings
- Furnace crown and bottom temperature
- Forming machine speed
- Run / stop state
- Rejects at inspection
- Lehr temperature profile
- Gas and power use
Typical stop reasons
- Job change
- Swabbing
- Mould change
- Jam
- Planned maintenance
- Quality hold
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Records for every run
Each production run is linked to its line, shift, stops and readings.
A day with Nisthora
A forming machine's stops are tapped on the panel. The Pareto shows Mould change as the biggest loss, and Shift Performance shows which crew is fastest.
Example for illustration.
Built for plants like yours.
Live status of every asset
Running, stopped or offline, with its key readings, live on one screen.
Maintenance forecast
Which asset needs maintenance in the next 30 days, how many days are left, and why.
Anomaly detection
Flags readings that are not normal for that asset, even inside the limits.
Alerts
Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook, with escalation.
Downtime analysis
Every stop with its reason and length, and a Pareto of the biggest causes.
Root cause and fishbone
Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.
Energy
Power use per asset and per area.
Works with your controllers
OPC UA, Modbus, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT and HTTP.
