Real-Time Production Tracking for Glass Factories

In short: Infinity2X GlassOne tracks every panel as it moves through your factory. A quick scan when work is finished keeps progress up to date, so the office, the floor and your customers always know where an order is.

The cost of not knowing

Without live tracking, the office walks the floor to find orders, panels sit waiting at the wrong station, rework is forgotten, and delivery dates slip without warning. The bigger the factory, the worse it gets.

How Infinity2X GlassOne tracks production

• Every panel has a path: the system knows which stations each panel needs, from cutting through processing to dispatch.
• Simple scanning: operators scan when they finish, and the panel moves on. Track by barcode, or record quantities if you prefer.
• Outsourced work included: glass sent out for processing is tracked out and back in.
• Rework handled properly: broken or wrong panels are replaced and tracked, not forgotten.

Visibility for everyone

• The office sees live progress on every order, without walking the floor.
• Managers see what is waiting at each station and where the bottlenecks are.
• Production reports show output by day, month, station and machine.

Start simple, grow into it

You do not need to change everything on day one. Many businesses start by recording quantities and move to full barcode tracking when they are ready. Our team helps you choose the right starting point.

What "real time" should mean on a factory floor

Real-time tracking is not about screens on every wall. It means that when an operator finishes a panel at a station, everyone who needs to know can see it within seconds: the office answering the customer, the production manager planning the next shift and the dispatch team building tomorrow's delivery run. If that information arrives at the end of the day on a clipboard, it is already out of date.

Choosing between quantity tracking and barcode scanning

There is no single right answer. Smaller factories often start by recording finished quantities at each station, which is quick to learn and gives a good picture of progress. Busier factories, or those with lots of processing and rework, usually move to barcode scanning, where every panel carries a label and is scanned as it finishes each step. Infinity2X GlassOne supports both, so you can start simply and add scanning when your team is ready.

Finding the bottleneck

Every glass factory has one station that limits output: often the toughening oven, the edger or the CNC. When you can see what is waiting at each station, the bottleneck stops being a feeling and becomes a number. Production reports show output by day, month, station and machine, so you can see whether a new shift, a second edger or a change in batching would make the biggest difference.

Outsourcing and rework

Glass sent out for toughening or laminating is often the first thing to go missing from a paper system. Tracking it out and back in means you know what is with the toughener today. Rework is the same: a broken panel should create a replacement that goes back into production and is tracked like any other panel, not a note on the whiteboard.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan includes production tracking?

Production and Planning & Scheduling are included on the Small and Enterprise plans.

Do operators need training to scan?

Very little. Scanning when a panel is finished is a single step, and our team helps set up your stations during guided setup.

Can we print our own glass labels?

Yes. Label printing is included on every plan, so each panel can carry a barcode and the details the factory and the installer need.
