About Low Volume Processor
The Low Volume Glass Processor is a specialized software solution designed to streamline the management and optimization of low-volume glass in insulating glass production. Integrated with GED’s WinIG system, this standalone application empowers cutting table operators to efficiently identify, consolidate, and manage obscure or infrequently used glass types, ensuring higher productivity and reduced material waste. The software offers user-controlled parameters, intelligent scheduling tools, and advanced reporting capabilities that support both operational flexibility and enhanced decision-making on the shop floor.
