GLASS FABRICATION SOFTWARE
Smart-Glass is the fastest glass drawing and order entry tool, bar none.
Smart-Glass is the fastest glass drawing and order entry tool, bar none.
Smart-Glass is glass fabrication software that acts as an online portal for your customers to place and view their glass orders.
Using a dedicated login, your customers will be able to draw, price and place their glass order with you in a matter of minutes. You will receive a fabrication-ready glass order that only needs a simple sanity check before being sent to fabrication.
Smart-Glass will warn your customers if the hole sizes are too small, the holes are too close to the edge, if dimensions are missing, etc. Your customers will be able to place their order with confidence and you won’t receive any unproduceable orders.
Delays at the order entry stage can slow down the entire fabrication process. With Smart-Glass, customers can draw and place their orders with you in a production-ready format, meaning orders get through to fabrication quickly. This can reduce lead time by a day or more. The whole process is faster and means more orders can be taken without the need to employ more staff.
Smart-Glass has been tested drawing glass against CAD and paper and is significantly faster than both. Time-saving features include user customizable cutout and panel libraries, drag-and-drop cutouts, one-click edge work and easy cloning of glass panels. Drawings are interactive, meaning the user can click on dimensions to change them.
Your costs can be loaded into Smart-Glass, so pricing calculations happen in the background as your customers draw.
The software understands shape surcharges, tracking exactly how many notches, holes and lineal feet of edge work are required as your customers design each panel. Jobs can be quickly cloned to see how different glass make-ups affect pricing.
You can set the pricing for each customer individually in their order portal, so there's no additional work if you have different rates for different customers.
Mistakes caused by misinterpreted drawings or order entry errors are common in the glass industry. These errors are painful for fabricators, stressing your system and staff as you try to deliver replacement glass as quickly as possible.
Smart-Glass helps eliminate all these errors. Computerized drawings are easy to interpret and machine friendly output (such as DXF) allows jobs to go straight to cutting tables and CNC machines. Smart-Glass also exports to production systems, allowing your customers' carefully drawn glass to skip the time-consuming and error-prone order entry process.
Reduce your turnaround time — production-ready drawings come from your customers, eliminating the need for time-consuming redraws.
Accurate glass drawings with cutout blowups and movable dimension lines can be exported straight from Smart-Glass. Best of all, the software will warn the user if their design cannot be reliably tempered and you won't receive impossible-to-produce orders.
Output to PDF, DXF or send straight to production software.
Search the library of real world hardware cutouts, or your own custom favorites, and drag cutouts directly onto your glass drawing.
Smart-Glass drawings are intuitively interactive. Click on a cutout to select it and display a cutout blow-up. Click on a measurement to alter it directly on the drawing. The drawing will update instantly in response to your change.
Smart-Glass has been tested against CAD and paper, in a variety of settings, and is significantly faster than both at drawing glass. It simultaneously calculates costs and can be exported to production systems with a button click.
