AI is already transforming quality control. Smart systems using deep learning can now detect defects like scratches or inclusions with greater precision and speed than manual inspection, reducing rework and waste.
AI can also help optimize production workflows. By analyzing large volumes of data, it identifies inefficiencies, supports smarter resource use, and contributes to lower environmental impact — including reduced CO₂ emissions.
To improve one of the most time-consuming steps — order processing — A+W developed MIRA, an AI assistant that reads and enters order data from emails, PDFs, or notes directly into the system. She integrates seamlessly and learns from corrections to get smarter over time.
MIRA is trained specifically for each customer’s unique workflow, ensuring she understands and supports real operations effectively. As part of the broader A+W Smart Factory vision, MIRA will take on even more roles in the future — helping manufacturers move toward intelligent, automated glass production.
