Sisecam, a leading global player in glass manufacturing, is demonstrating its commitment to innovation and operational excellence by expanding its partnership with Cerrion.
The company has strategically rolled out Cerrion’s patent-pending video AI solution across 12 production lines at its Eskişehir, Turkey glass packaging plant, marking a significant step forward in its AI-driven approach to improving production efficiency and reducing safety hazards.
The glass manufacturing industry faces persistent challenges stemming from process anomalies. These issues can range from operator safety risks to production losses, potential fires, and even equipment damage. Sisecam recognizes the importance of proactively addressing these challenges to ensure a safe and efficient operating environment.
This larger-scale adoption of Cerrion’s solution reinforces Sisecam’s dedication to safety, sustainability, and continuous improvement. A successful pilot program served as a strong validation of the technology’s capabilities, resulting in a tangible reduction in safety risks and a notable 1.5% improvement in production yield.
Cerrion’s video AI system provides real-time monitoring of production lines, enabling the detection of critical issues such as glass jams or fallen containers. Upon detecting such anomalies, the system automatically triggers pre-defined responses, including audible alarms, effectively controlling production disturbances and maintaining seamless operations.
Beyond its reactive capabilities, Cerrion’s platform offers invaluable insights for production teams through detailed incident analytics and anonymized video streams. These tools empower teams to not only resolve issues more rapidly, but also to delve into the root causes of production losses, leading to more effective preventative measures and improved overall performance.
This expanded deployment of Cerrion’s video AI solution signifies Sisecam’s proactive approach to leveraging cutting-edge technology for enhanced safety, increased efficiency, and ultimately, a more sustainable and robust manufacturing process. By embracing AI-powered solutions, Sisecam is setting a new standard for operational excellence within the glass packaging industry.
