ATLAS: a new standard for crack detection for Sisecam Glass Packaging

Thanks to a new installation of Tiama ATLAS systems, Sisecam Glass Packaging Turkish factories will all be equipped with Tiama’s ATLAS system by the end of 2016.

Sisecam Glass Packaging, the fourth biggest glass packaging producer in Europe and the world continues its glass packaging control cooperation with Tiama through the order of 42 ATLAS systems. The ATLAS is a non-contact check detection system using cameras and detecting all checks appearing in the finish, heel, shoulder and bottom of bottles and jars.
Sisecam Glass Packaging, which is part of the Sisecam Group, global actor of the glass sector, has a total production capacity of 2.3 million tons a year. With its 80 years of corporate history, Sisecam Glass Packaging continues its production in a total of ten plants in four countries. This environment-friendly group is among the world’s most distinguished glass packaging manufacturers, due to its degree of specialization and it utilizes high-end technology and innovations. This explains why it extends its 10-plus year partnership with Tiama, a state-of-the-art player in real-time process and glass quality controls, which became, as one goes along, one of the main suppliers of the ?i?ecam Glass Packaging plants, from the Greenfield projects to the latest development of its production lines.

This longstanding collaboration consists in close support from Tiama’s team in all Sisecam Glass Packaging hollow glass activities to solve the fastest possible, the daily difficulties and subsequently improve quality and productivity.

With this new installation, all the carousel machines in the three Sisecam Glass Packaging Turkish factories will be equipped with Tiama’s ATLAS system by the end of 2016. Si?ecam Glass Packaging will therefore become the world’s biggest user of ATLAS with 92 machines installed.

The main benefits of the Tiama ATLAS system are attested: adjustability, reduced job-change time, reduced human factor on the quality of settings and quick payback.
Sisecam Glass Packaging already benefited from the TIAMA’s after-sales international network with two local engineers available to ensure proximity and support of the Turkish customer’s needs. Now, it also takes advantage of the remote connection giving to Tiama’s engineers a direct access to the Turkish fleet of machines. This new collaboration enables TIAMA to reinforce its primary position in the cold-end area in Sisecam Glass Packaging plants. 

The partnership between TIAMA and SISECAM GLASS PACKAGING includes other trials and demonstrations are scheduled which demonstrates once again, the involvement of the Tiama’s teams in the success of its customers.
