Background

Low emission (known as low-E) glass is a thin film product with multiple layers of metal or other compounds coated on the glass.

Comparing with ordinary glass and traditional architectural coated glass, the low-E coating has a high transmittance of visible light and high reflectance of the far-infrared and then has excellent thermal insulation and good light transmission.

However, the issues of low-e coating production line such as low efficiency, huge waste, non-sustainable development and others have plagued the majority of Low-E coating companies, and even Low-E coating upstream and downstream enterprises.

  • Adjustment depends on experience, manual calculation or excel:passable for heat-reflective glass, single silver design but not suitable for the double silver, three silver and more complex design.
  • Spectrum and color can not meet the requirements. Even Sometime achieve objective,the coating equipment parameters have to be re-adjusted after exception handling. There is no plan at all for reciprocating and wasting a lot of time.
  • Uniformity, consistency can not be controlled, especially the problem of high angle interference color can not be solved.
  • Acknowledge of Coating line equipment, materials and process control is limited to equipment manufacturers or reference books. There is no specific details and verifiable traceability relationship.
  • Adjustment is a wheel war and lead to staff fatigue, complain and high turnover rate.
  • A lot of waste (glass, coating target, electricity).
  • Orders can not be delivered in time, new orders can not undertake.
  • Customer Complaints.

Our OSC Low-E software is powered by CoatFlex, a self-developed optical thin film calculation engine designed specifically for the Low-E coating industry. CoatFlex provides strong calculation capability and fast optimization speed. Combining practical application requirements and operation methods in the Low-E industry, as well as the experience and technology of our domestic and foreign Low-E coating experts and computer software experts, we have integrated multiple cutting-edge technologies to develop a convenient and practical solution.

After conducting extensive research on user needs and communicating with frontline users, we incorporated the practical experience of many product development engineers and process debugging personnel, highlighting speed and efficiency, and using the resolution of users' practical problems as the benchmark.

After years of application testing on top Low-E production lines both domestically and abroad, and multiple functional modifications based on actual process parameters, it has achieved good results and has been validated in practice.
