Glass orders: five checks before production
Correct dimensions alone do not fully define a glass product. Review composition, orientation, offsets and references with an example order and the Dimpro CW guided tour.
An order can have the correct width and height while still leaving an important question for the factory: which pane comes first, which component projects beyond another, or which item a note refers to. Resolving these questions during order entry helps prepare instructions that office and production teams can interpret consistently.
In Dimpro CW, our glass order management software, the composition and its visual representation accompany the commercial details. The purpose of the review is to check that the customer’s request, the information in the document and the product being prepared for production agree.
An example to review
Imagine an insulating glass order for two units measuring 1,200 × 800 mm. One pane has an offset, and there is an instruction about the coated face. This is an illustrative example: technical conditions must be checked for each order. What should you review before considering that item complete?
1. Dimensions, quantity and reference
Check the width, height and quantity against the request. Also check the reference orientation. The front view helps relate the outline to its dimensions; the top view helps review the arrangement of the components. A clear reference makes the item easier to identify when an order contains similar variants.
2. Composition and component order
Review the panes, spacer, gas and sealant that make up the unit, along with their order in the product tree. If you start from a saved product, check that its composition matches this request. Reusing a definition reduces data entry, but a review remains necessary when requirements change.
3. Shapes and offsets
Check which pane retains the reference dimensions and how the outlines of the other panes change. An offset changes the geometry of a component; edge deletion describes a different operation and must be reviewed separately. For a shaped pane, also compare its dimensions and orientation with the customer’s documentation.
4. Coated faces and operations
Associate the coated face and the specified operations with the component they belong to. A general note can be ambiguous when several pieces differ. Review the technical information for each item and the applicable manufacturing conditions before sending it to production.
5. Consistency across the document
Before confirming, review composition, quantities, references, pricing and manufacturing data together. Resolve warnings and check what information production will receive. The visual representation helps identify discrepancies and should be read alongside the order’s dimensions and specifications.
Explore the process in the demo
Open the Showcase guided tour of order creation. The chapter covers building a composition, reviewing dimensions, and cases involving offsets and treatments. You can go directly to the step for checking dimensions on the design. This is a guided tour with screens and explanations; full access requires an active account.
To evaluate this process with a case from your business, prepare a representative order and its specifications. You can request a Dimpro CW demonstration and review with us how the product is defined before it reaches the factory.
