The SmartGob enables precise control and measurement of the weight and shape of each glass gob. It achieves weight control through the automatic regulation of the feeder tube, relieving the operator from the stress of dealing with the fluctuations inherent in the glassmaking process. In the blow-and-blow process, the SmartGob can save tons of glass annually by enabling work with very precise target weights (achieving accuracy within +/-1gr for a 300gr gob). The SmartGob also facilitates the easy reproduction of the glass gob’s shape. Through the use of the OPC-UA protocol or others, it allows for the recording of all data related to the dimensions and weight of the bottle, ensuring comprehensive traceability and quality control

Monitoring the temperature of both blank molds and blow molds accurately has always been a challenge in the glass industry. The SPYRO solution works with IR cameras to measure the temperature of the blank and finished molds at every cycle. Each section is equipped with its own camera. The Konatic Spyro is able to regulate the ventilation of the molds automatically thanks to a closed-loop mode, independent of the IS manufacturer. This is a clear advantage of Konatic over other products, and it allows for a quick payback due to improved efficiency and fewer defects related to temperature variations.
HEXAGON
The Hexagon enables online and contactless reading of CO2 laser-engraved Datamatrix codes on glass bottles. It can be installed on filling lines or in glassworks. The read codes can be linked to a database for enhanced bottle traceability, including in the market for returnable bottles.
HELICAL READER
Unique and exclusive technology to read the datamatrix codes in the filling plants.
SPIN READER
The Spin Reader is installed on rotary machines and enables the reading of CO2 laser-engraved Datamatrix codes on glass bottles. Renowned for its ease of adjustment and high tolerance in code reading, the Spin Reader is utilized by major glass manufacturers (OI, VERALLIA, VETROPACK) as well as fillers (INBEV, MOET CHANDON).

NANO
Introducing our exclusive laboratory device designed to measure hot end coating thickness with nanometric precision. Our innovative sensor eliminates the need for any index fluid to read values. Without the use of oil, you can conduct significantly more measurements on each bottle, enabling a more precise 360° assessment of hot end treatment application. The system is approved by CETIE, OI, VETROPACK and WIEGAND GLASS.
PRECISION
Exclusive technology to inspect the quality of the data matrix code at the hot-end
Konatic has been at the forefront of developing and selling reliable, innovative, and easy-to-use sensors designed for hot-end process control, as well as for traceability solutions, including datamatrix readers tailored for hollow glass manufacturers and fillers. Additionally, for over 15 years, KONATIC has been providing the glass packaging industry with an array of laboratory devices, meeting the diverse and evolving needs of their clients. Current customers of Konatic: VERALLIA, OI, AB INBEV, VETROPACK, SAVERGLASS
