Advanced Supply Chain
Solutions for Glass Industry
Solve Planning Challenges
At Prophit Systems, we speak glass. We understand the complex challenges of the industry. Our systems are configured as a digital clone of your specific glass manufacturing process.
Furnaces flow continuously, consuming power even when not producing finished product.
Furnace rebuilds take months, cost millions of dollars, and are required every 10 years. Changeovers must be scheduled when the changeover crew has capacity.
Colour changes take days, and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Continuous flow furnaces require tactical plans to keep customers satisfied, and plants appropriately loaded.
Our solutions model cullet usage and can predict the impact of changing cullet content with respect to improved furnace life, reduced power usage, extended mould life.
Being able to fully model your glass supply chain now and into the future gives your planners true agility.

The Glass packaging industry has some profound challenges. The cost of energy to run furnaces is expensive, but the cost of capital is worse when they are not producing.
So, colour changeovers are costly, let alone furnace refurbishing. This means campaigning is essential in planning the furnaces. The longer the campaign the better your production costs, yet delivery performance is difficult to balance. The usual challenge of seasonal products is being further complicated by competing technologies and shorter production runs by fragmenting markets, an example is the craft brewing market is here to stay.
The Prophit Systems Platform synchronises and optimises your supply chain by automating clerical tasks and showing the cost and consequences of every critical decision. Outside of its standard packaging industry features, Prophit systems makes planning glass packaging easier by providing the agility to execute integrated tactical planning to improve delivery performance without compromising the cost of manufacture.
