Automation

Hollow Glass Technology

As a global leader in hollow glass and flat glass

processing technology, we have been helping to

shape one of the most beautiful and useful materials

in the world for over 60 years. Its unique qualities,

combined with the passion for technology and

innovation, guide us in seeking for newer and more

effective solutions to improve and expand its use.

We know glass, we love glass

Automation

During the last decade, Bottero has made significant

investments in Automation, bringing innovative

solutions in the Glass Industry and applying Industry

4.0 principles in a continuous product evolution,

targeted to the automatic control and optimization of

the production process.

Thanks to advanced automation techniques and

Machine Learning-based approaches, Bottero

developed closed-loop control systems, based on

data coming from state-of-the-art sensors, able

to automatically control the most critical areas of

the forming process, stabilizing the production and

optimizing the performance.

DFS: Plunger Motion Control

System to automatically regulate the pressure profile (duration and pressure levels) of the

proportional valves controlling the plunger up movement for PB productions, with the aim to:

• Equalize and keep stable the motion profile of each plunger mechanism to minimize

container defects.

• Keep stable the required pressing time to get homogeneous behaviors in dynamic

environments.

• Avoid over-pressures during the plunger up phase.

P1 quickly brings the plunger to a

height close to the final value (avoiding

over-pressures).

P2 smoothly complete the plunger

up phase, minimizing variations of the

pressing time.

Tier 1 closed-loop controls

Bottero Proportional Valves 2.0 Multi Weight Manager Application

• Closed loop on the output pressure based

on a dedicated sensor. • Response repeatability and precision

of the output pressure

• Response homogeneity among

different valves

• Better precision of the control at low

pressure

• Two valve types • Cost reduction of spare parts

management

• Possibility to electronically configure

the valve type (flow or pressure).

• Tool to support setup and control of

productions with multiple weight articles.

• Optional plug-in of Bottero servo feeder. • The variable gob weight is achieved

regulating the plunger parameters of the

servo feeder.

• Capability to compensate glass

accumulation phenomenon due to the

return trajectory of the needles.

• Commercial weight scales can be

optionally integrated for a weight

acquisition.

• The tool can interwork with Tiama HOT

mass, a camera system measuring speed

and volume of the gob while falling, with

the main objectives to automatically

regulate the weight of the gob and to

control its shape. This integration offers

significant advantages compared to the

other solutions:

- No need to manually weight the produced bottles

- No production losses due to manual weighting

- Possibility to setup multi-weight productions

(at feeder level) while other operators change

equipment at shop floor for the new jobs to be put in

production. In this way, as soon as the IS machine is

ready for production, the multi-weight gob setup is

already up-and-running.

Process View closed-loop controls The ‘’process-view closed loop control’’ represents a key evolutionary step: from tier1 loops

(in charge to control sub-processes) to systems looking at the forming process from a higher

level perspective, of which BoX is a unique example, putting the produced containers at the

center of the measuring processes at the Hot-End.

Looking at a complete hollow glass production line, from batch to palletizers, the essential

element to control is the HE forming process: mastering the forming process is key to be able

to control the overall production line.

Ware Spacing Control and Optimization

• Implement the automatic control and optimization of ware spacing

• Achieve a stable ware spacing between all bottles

Benefits

• Less stuck and fallen ware

• Less coating hood jams

• Faster job changes

Goals of Vertical Glass Distribution

Control

The BoX controls and maintains the vertical glass

distribution under continuously changing operational

conditions (due to the environment and to the

production process):

• Feeder temperature & pull changes

• Glass conditions changes

• Temperature changes

• Blank heat transfer changes (new Blank)

• Blank swabbing

• Section stop/start

BoX effects on VGD

• Less VGD variations on single containers

• Less VGD variations over time (process variations)

BoX vs. Blank Temperature control

The blank temperature control implemented by the BoX is based on the effects

observed on the produced containers, thus to enforce the overall control of the

Vertical Glass Distribution.

Evolution of the BoX concept

The BoX platform is evolving to embrace a wider set of automatic controls and applications,

putting together Process knowledge, sensors and measures on the most critical process

areas, taking advantage from modelling and simulation techniques to create new models for

automatic controls, using industrial automation to implement them as part of the Bottero

automation platform and create a global system to control and optimize the production

process.

The roadmap towards a predictive model

of the production process

Sensors:

Integrate sensors to measure critical

sub-processes.

Closed-loops:

Control each critical sub-process to

minimize drift and variations

(furnace, feeder, gob forming, gob

loading, parison forming, final blow,

transport, …).

Big data storage:

Connect all systems on a network and

store data in a common information

inspection equipment,…)

Big Data Analysis The Big Data approach has the purpose to analyze measurements and data to learn the

optimal process behavior, in particular:

1. Identify the key process parameters that most affect the final results in terms of:

• Correlation between HE data measurements (gob and parison data, IR measures, …)

• Geometrical characteristics of containers (weight, shape, verticality, etc.)

• Glass thickness distribution

• Major defects

• …

2. Find out the optimal correlation between HE and CE data and measurements

Machine Learning:

The Process Control system receives as input HE data and implements automatic

corrections to the settings of the IS machine, according to the parameters of the correlation

model coming from the Big Data Analysis.

As soon as CE measurements are available, the Machine Learning box adjusts and optimizes

such model parameters according to the dynamic characteristics of the operational

environment.
