Glass’in Technology

The Glass’in®
on vidéo

Glass’in® technology consists of 3 stations easily installed in any glass manufacturing line :

  • Printing
  • Grafting
  • Inspection

With this system, products can be identified at each stage of production, no matter the rate of the process.

Le Glass’in ®, est une solution industrielle, protégé par deux brevets, dédié à la traçabilité des emballages verre. C’est un codage unitaire, invisible à l’œil et visible (identifiables) sous lumière bleu.

La technologie Glass’in s’intègre simplement à n’importe quelle ligne industrielle d’emballage verre et se compose de 3 postes :

  • L’impression
  • Le greffage
  • Le contrôle

Grâce à elle, l’emballage peut être identifié à chaque étape de production, quelle que soit la cadence.

Specializing in the engineering of secure identification and tracking of goods, Athéor offers the cosmetic and agri-food industries the solution to reliable traceability and production monitoring of glass products. What’s more, this system also aids in the fight against counterfeiting and parallel markets.

The principle of 

Glass’in®

Glass’in® is applied by inkjet and then melded with glass under LED light to create a graft only nanometers thick. Active fluorescent compounds, chosen according to the type of application, are thus fused within the material by a chemical bond. Once grafted by this bond, it becomes permanent and resistant to solvents. Glass’in® ink is applied at room temperature and harbors no risk for cracks or micro fissures.
An industrial grade LED optic decoder identifies the graft regardless of the color or content of the glass product, and does so on a high-powered production line at industrial speeds.

Glass’in® can provide much more information than a simple lot number. It offers labeling of various sorts: DataMatrix, QR code, alphanumeric, logos/branding.

Glass’in® is quick and simple to install into any bottling or packaging processing line.

Besides screen printing with heat, the ability to effectively adhere ink to glass is considered a prevalent problem.

The ingenuity of Glass’in® chemical adhesion sets Athéor apart from other processes in the industry. .
