Online Glass Engineering

The" Online Glass Engineering on demand " Software is a complete solution for glass producers providing him with online modules for compiling and calculating glass melting processes. Basic functions are the raw material, batch and glass analysis, thermal engineering as well as evaluation of operational data.

The development of this software was realized in a cooperation between glass global and Linde AG and is unique in the world.
