More efficient loading
Selects the rack type and defines the loading sequence before manufacturing.

Rack-Way
Optimize without losing the sequence production needs.
Rack-Way adds sorting and stacking logic to optimization so A, L and harp racks can be filled without manually re-sorting pieces around the cutting table.

- A/L
- assembly sequence
- IG
- order maintained
- Seq
What it solves
A high-yield optimization can still be poor for production if it forces excessive handling and re-sorting. Rack-Way balances yield and sequence, reducing manual movement, breakages, defects and scratches.
How it works
- 01DefineRack types, limits and grouping criteria are configured.
- 02OptimizeThe algorithm preserves sequence while respecting constraints.
- 03StackEvery piece receives a rack and position during cutting.
- 04AssembleThe resulting sequence feeds IG, spacer or shipping workflows.
Workflow according to the catalogue
The final sequence drives the whole of production
Rack-Way starts from how the rack must be loaded at the end of the process and rebuilds the intermediate sequences back to cutting. This keeps the assembly order and avoids re-sorting glass by hand.
minimumnumber of racks in use at once
Pre-allocation from the office
Sequence respected at cutting
Less handling
Lower risk of scratches and lost time
Delivery Rack
Dispatch defines how production must be sequenced
Delivery Rack organises dispatch racks by zone, route, customer, order and dimensions. That sequence goes back to optimisation and manufacturing so the glass arrives in order when it is time to load.

Sorting integration
Can exchange information with sorting systems and with the insulating glass line.
Packing and validation
With GMC-Monitor the load can be confirmed and packing lists and labels generated.
Rack fleet
The catalogue covers traceability of each rack sent, the destination customer and alerts for racks not returned.

Core capabilities
Rack-Way adds sorting and stacking logic to optimization so A, L and harp racks can be filled without manually re-sorting pieces around the cutting table.
- Sequence-maintaining optimization with restrictions designed to avoid breakout-area re-sorting.
- Management of A-frame, L-frame and harp racks with physical-characteristic definitions.
- Dynamic stacking, grouping/sorting criteria and ascending or descending sorting.
Operation and workflow
- Quantity and size exceptions plus maximum depth or quantity values per rack type.
- IG assembly-sequence creation and spacer-bending sequence generation.
- Detailed rack/stack lists with rack number and position assignment for Edit-Way, TV-Way and Re-OPT.
Integrations
A high-yield optimization can still be poor for production if it forces excessive handling and re-sorting. Rack-Way balances yield and sequence, reducing manual movement, breakages, defects and scratches.
How it fits the flow
- 01Define: Rack types, limits and grouping criteria are configured.
- 02Optimize: The algorithm preserves sequence while respecting constraints.
- 03Stack: Every piece receives a rack and position during cutting.
- 04Assemble: The resulting sequence feeds IG, spacer or shipping workflows.
