The production cycle begins with a shuttle-type glass storage system, which ensures rapid and accurate glass retrieval while maximizing storage utilization. A centralized production visualization platform provides real-time oversight of manufacturing operations, supporting data-driven decision-making and process optimization.

High-precision laser printing and cutting systems are combined with automated glass breakout technology to improve processing accuracy and throughput. Throughout the production chain, QR code identification enables complete traceability, ensuring every glass unit can be monitored from storage to final processing.

Automated horizontal sorting equipment efficiently directs glass to downstream operations, while the double edging and washing line delivers consistent edge quality and surface preparation. An integrated quality inspection system continuously verifies product conformity, reducing defects and supporting stringent quality standards.

To optimize internal logistics, the factory utilizes vertical buffer systems and vertical rotation conveyors that facilitate smooth transitions between processing stages while minimizing manual handling. Prior to tempering, an intelligent batching system automatically organizes glass according to furnace loading requirements, maximizing productivity and energy efficiency.

By combining automation, digital connectivity, and advanced process control, NorthGlass has created a highly integrated manufacturing environment that represents the next generation of smart glass production.

Recent upgrades, led by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), focused on system-wide accessibility, adding elevators and ADA-compliant walkways connecting parking areas, the Route 116 overpass, and the station entrance.

“Safety is of paramount concern for Metro-North, and achieving the least obstructive views is mandatory when designing a station,” said Technical Principal at AECOM, Neils Benavides.

The Wall F-20 Glass System was selected for its practicality, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation, while maintaining aesthetic value. The site’s sloped topography and proximity to roadways required a barrier that ensured pedestrian safety without overwhelming the rural surroundings. Bendheim’s system provided a minimally intrusive enclosure, preserving clear sightlines, natural light, and views of nearby farmland and forested terrain.

Benavides praised Bendheim’s coordination during the shop drawing phase, noting, “Their multi-dimensional drawings helped resolve potential clashes, avoiding delays and rework.”

Bendheim highlights Purdy Station as an example of how a well-engineered rainscreen system can reliably balance safety, performance, and aesthetics. By leveraging a standardized solution supported by design assistance, project teams achieve consistent results while controlling costs.
