Industry · Glass

Production software built on 14 years in container glass.

I build software for plants where spreadsheets, paper slips and verbal handovers have reached their limit. Recipe, batch sheet, silo stock and shift log come together in one system, and every correction stays traceable.

Typical situations

When a conversation makes sense.

Spreadsheets between shifts

Batch sheet, stock and log sit in separate files. Values get retyped, and in the end every list has its own version of events.

The stock does not add up

In the morning the silo level does not match consumption. Nobody can say when the difference appeared.

Recipe changes without a trace

A recipe version was changed. Which version applied to which batch, and why it changed, is not written down anywhere.

An application that has grown

Your business application has run for years, but hardly anyone dares touch the code. Every change takes a long time.

Batch log software
Post batches, deduct silo stock and keep corrections traceable.

Batch sheet software
Create batches from the recipe, then check, print and post them.

Glass batch calculation
From oxide composition to batch weights, with a worked example.

Products

W-Make Batch and W-Make Recipe.

W-Make Batch

For daily operations: batch sheet, batch log with silo deduction, shift book, daily log and day close.

W-Make Recipe

For recipe work at the desk: versions, oxide and redox calculation, checks and a print-ready batch sheet.

Adaptation and integration

CSV export for SAP, REST API for machine data, several sites and user roles.

Day to day

What changes for the shift.

Production software is often opened only because it has to be. I build it to take work off the people running the plant. Then data gets entered in full, and the reports are right.

Immediate feedback

A posting shows straight away what it does: new stock, redox position, cost. Deviations show up while the shift is still running.

The status at a glance

Key figures and open tasks show where the shift stands and what is still missing before handover.

Everything in one place

Recipe version, consumption and cost sit together. There is no need to gather them from several lists.

W-Make Batch · Vanilla

The complete version. Postings, stock and shift handover share one data model.

Batch management for container-glass production, designed for furnaces pulling 150 to 600 t/d: from batch sheet through silo and batch log to the daily log, with the shift book as the everyday workplace.

  1. 01

    Recipe

    Composition, version, temperature and cost stay linked to later consumption.

  2. 02

    Batch sheet

    The order to the scale, generated directly from the valid recipe version.

  3. 03

    Silo

    Consumption is deducted from stock automatically.

  4. 04

    Batch log

    What was weighed stays assigned to batch and recipe version.

  5. 05

    Log

    The day close records what the next shift will find.

Buchungsintegrität geprüft: Überläufe bleiben sichtbar statt unterzugehen

Umfangreiches Audit der Buchungslogik über LKW-Wareneingang, Stück- und Scherbenlager, Siloabzug, Stornos und Tagesabschluss. Was früher beim Abgleich still verworfen wurde, wird jetzt als offener Posten im Bestand ausgewiesen. Stornos erzeugen echte Gegenbuchungen.

Schichtbuch überarbeitet: eine Bedienlinie statt acht Leisten

Die Schichtbuch-Seite von W-Make Batch ist auf eine Orientierungszeile, vier Kennzahlen und Filter mit Zählern umgebaut. Der fachliche Inhalt bleibt: Erfassen, Störungen, Wartung, Meldungen, Aufgaben, Fotos und Schichtübergabe sind unverändert erreichbar.
