Topic: Finding a Common Language for Glass Lingo
Presented by: Sara Neiswanger, NGA, and Michael Saroka, Chief Product Officer, Goldray Glass
Deciphering Standard Glass Nomenclature Codes
If you’re not well versed in ordering glass, the strings of letters, numbers and symbols that compose a product code may seem intentionally cryptic. Even with experience, the terminology varies from region to region and company to company.
A shared, common language for glass improves clarity and efficiency for the whole industry. For glass manufacturers and fabricators, a predictable structure for encoding glass makeups also is essential for ensuring consistency and compatibility across today’s automated and computer-assisted process management systems.
Like a universal translator, the National Glass Association now offers a new, visual, interactive tool for everyone to build or decode glass nomenclature that aligns with NGA technical resources. Don't miss this valuable conversation and demo on a new tool that can save your team time, money and headache.
