In September 2014 Zippe Industrieanlagen and UAS Messtechnik signed an agreement for a strategic partnership on Plant-Wide-Automation (PWA) concepts and integrated Batch and Furnace control solutions.

The intention is to be able to offer integrated solutions for the process steps “from Batch until the glass droppoint”- wherever needed.

This has numerous advantages for the customer. A process control out of one hand results in a continuous process transparency and by such a high plant availability and increased process efficiency.

The standardisation of the automation and process control, “Plant-Wide-Automation”, offers cost benefits for the operator in terms of production and maintenance.

For both companies transparent sustainability, resource-saving use of energy and the special consciousness for the environment play an important role.

The two companies declared that besides this step, they will each keep their independency.
