Hot End Inspection and Control Systems
GobWatch
Innovative gob monitoring, automatic gob weight control and gob inspection.
BlankWatch
Precise monitoring of gob loading and temperatures of blank molds, plungers and neck rings.
ISWatch
Critical defect inspection (bird-swings, fins) and glass distribution monitoring directly after the IS-Machine.
Cortex Control
A universal interface to the timing system for safe reading and writing of timing parameters, enabling closed-loop control.
Cortex Autonomous Forming
Cortex is developing an AI model of the glass forming process. By connecting inspection results, process measurements and timing data, we aim to understand how process changes affect glass quality. This forms the foundation for increasingly intelligent recommendations and automatic control—step by step towards autonomous forming.
Make the process visible
Capture gob, blank-side, blow-side and container data. Use Cortex Control to read timing settings and track operator adjustments.
Learn how the process behaves
We are developing an AI model that learns how process conditions and timing adjustments relate to glass quality.
Choose the right adjustment
Turn process insights into AI-assisted recommendations, with the operator in control.
Close the loop
Apply validated adjustments within defined limits and measure the process response.
