Since launching Tiama IQ
Track, (the system that gives
glass plant managers a quick
overview of their factories’ key
performance metrics), Tiama has
also introduced IQ Scan as the
line monitoring system.

By collecting data from the
whole line – from IS machine to
palletizers – Tiama IQ Scan gives
all the necessary KPI’s and data
in real time to show users where
losses are occurring, and why.
This crucial information allows
operators to take prompt action,
resulting in reduced losses.

INDIVIDUAL
ACCESS TO
INFORMATION
With Tiama IQ
Scan, each employ-
ee can have his own
login and password
to his personal-
ized dashboard of
the system. This
allows each indi-
vidual access to
information that is
relevant to his role,
anywhere, anytime.
By supplying this
valuable informa-
tion across the
entire plant, opera-
tions are greatly
enhanced. Now
a plant manager
can focus on the
key performance
metrics of the whole plant for
that day while the IS manager
receives data of the defects or
cavities relating to his IS machine
over the last 30 minutes whilst
not interfering with the qual-
ity manager, for example, who
can monitor the quality records
of his team without unnecessary
information from other sections
of the plant.
Making all the procedures with
comprehensible HMI to record
data much easier, users now sim-
into the system. Without the old
paper trail, managers can eas-
ily follow what has been done,
what is happening and whether
the results are within specifica-
tions or not. Tiama IQ Scan
