Container Glass Processing

The hollow glass industry focuses on the industrial production of glass containers such as bottles, jars, and packaging products. Production is typically organized in highly automated production lines integrating several specialized machines such as feeders, forming machines, cooling sections, and inspection systems.

This specification defines the general interface model for Container Glass processing which is essential for the hollow glass industry.

The primary communication target is a higher-level system, such as plant management systems or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). In addition, the specification also supports horizontal communication between machines within a production line or plant environment.
