PREMIUM GLASS BOTTLES INSPECTED IN AN ASSORTMENT PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT


Take a look behind the scenes at Wiegand-Glas’s Ernstthal plant in Thuringia, Germany, where tradition meets cutting-edge technology. In our new video, we showcase the container inspection area in full assortment operation — different bottle types are seamlessly inspected using Heye International’s SmartLine 2 machines equipped with Ranger 2 optical check devices.

This setup is tailor-made for short runs and non-standard containers, typical of the spirits industry.

With SmartLine 2, Wiegand-Glas achieves:

  • Accurate inspection of complex shapes
  • Reduced downtime and rejections
  • Real-time data for process optimisation
  • Seamless integration with multi-weight production

This partnership between Wiegand-Glas and Heye International is a great example of how innovation and experience can drive efficiency and quality in glass manufacturing.
