There is a News Article in the link in the comment below, but this post is to notify you that there have been significant alterations to the mobile performance of the CareersInGlass website. In the article, there is also instruction on how to add an icon to your mobile phone to access the website from which it will work like any other App on your phone. This makes the website more easily accessible while you are on the move. You can access everything you see on the main website. You can also refer other people to the website when you have a few minutes available here and there using the first item on the menu bar on the Dashboard when you are logged in.

Interesting result shows that most of us have high expectations for AI in glass container manufacturing. Not to the extreme that it will take over, but make some significant contributions. Let's hope those involved in developing this technology make the best of its potential for us (I won't dwell on that point further).

No, you are not seeing double! It is just that I have two speaking slots at Glasstec. Hope to see some of you there! (And no I won't be speaking German, no matter what it might say below. I trust there will be an interpreter to relay my speeches in German!).

See the post just released to show the Careers In Glass Website is now available for Pre-Registration with early sign-up Lifetime benefits, such as FREE lifetime memberships. Pre-registration will end in 4 weeks when the site is launched with full functionality. When you sign up now, you will also get some sharing tools to help you share the news about the website with other Glass People. When they sign up you will get points that you can use when the site is full launched to get FREE access to the website's Premium Features. Better for you to sign up now and spread the news while it is easier to find people not already registered on the site, for which you will then get the points that go towards giving you the Premium Features.

Details about the launch of a new glass jobs and careers website are now live at the web address in the graphic. Thanks to all those helping recently on this project, it is much appreciated. Type in the web address in the graphic or see the Comments for the link to click.

Here is another article written by Glass Container Manufacturing Consulting Ltd and published in this month's issue of Glass International. This article crams in all the key technical features and history of this blank- and blow-mould infrared-camera temperature measurement system created by KONATIC and currently successfully operating in the glass container industry. It was a pleasure to write this article to keep the glass industry abreast of the details of the current developments in this field. If you or your company need any assistance writing glass technical articles, please get in touch.

It is great to get the opportunity to be the first to write about a new IS Machine, called ISX made by T&T in the Czech Republic. The new ISX Machine is designed to give massive productivity increases: - 100% increase in productivity where previous production in Single Gob can now be made in Double Gob. So typical SG jobs up to 180mm in diameter can be made DG. - 50% increase in productivity where Spirits or Wines made in 6 1/4" DG can now be made in 6 1/4" TG (typically up to 1.5L). - 33% increase in productivity where TG 4 1/4" jobs can now be made in Quad 4 1/4". (Particularly where a 4 1/4" job cannot fit into the Quad 95mm centres). - Also, subject to testing, the Machine is designed to be the first to make Quad 95mm jobs in 95mm Penta Gob (5 gobs instead of 4). There are plenty of other interesting features in the article, but the productivity gain potential will probably get the main interest of the market to start with. The first Machine of this type will have its functioning section on display at the glasstec – International Trade Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany, in October 2024. After display at the fair, the first ISX Machine will be delivered Glass Futures, in St Helen's, United Kingdom. Thanks to Glass International and Glass Futures, as well as Rolf Themann MBA of T&T, for their support in the writing, editing and publishing of this article. Particular thanks go to Dave Fordham for co-ordinating and organising the publishing work for the article. Here is a link to the online magazine article and attached below is a downloadable PDF copy of the article. https://lnkd.in/eS8rFG-i Enjoy reading and finding out more about the ISX Machine.

For all those of you asking me for a copy of my presentation on the past, present and future of IS Machines given at Glassman Mexico last month, please see attached. For anyone who is specifically interested getting more detail, I would suggest acquiring the glass bottle-making reference books that are cited in the presentation. The presentation given was an attempt to cram over 100 years of history into a 20-minute presentation. Hopefully, I managed to deliver the essence of the matter and will leave the details to your further study, should you be interested in going so far (I know some who will want to!). Enjoy the presentation material 😀 P.S. If you want to access the links to the videos in the presentation, you will have to download the document and access the links from there. The view below is just a preview of the pdf version of the presentation document. P.P.S. Have a great weekend!
