Founded in 2014, Cortex Glass develops systems for hot-end inspection, process monitoring and automatic control. Based in Groningen, the Netherlands, our team brings together machine vision, thermal imaging and AI with knowledge of glass production.
We help production teams understand what is happening in the forming process, identify defects earlier and make informed adjustments. Our focus is practical: consistent glass quality, a stable process and less waste.
Our name reflects what we aim to do. The cerebral cortex brings together sensory information, interprets it and helps guide our actions.
At Cortex Glass, we apply that principle to glass production. Our systems collect information from cameras and sensors, turn it into process insights and connect those insights with machine control.
By bringing inspection, analysis and control together, we help production teams understand what is happening, investigate why and determine the right adjustment — step by step towards autonomous forming.
From gob monitoring and blank-side temperature measurements to hot-end product inspection, our systems provide information where production teams need it.
Combining inspection results with process measurements helps teams investigate quality issues and understand the conditions behind them.
Cortex Control provides safe read and write access to the timing system, connecting process information with machine control.
Cortex is working on connecting hot-end inspection, AI-driven process analysis and machine control. Step by step, we are building towards an autonomous forming process.
Glass manufacturers around the world use Cortex Glass systems for inspection, process monitoring and automatic control. From gob monitoring to hot-end inspection, our systems help production teams improve glass quality and process stability. The companies below are among the manufacturers using Cortex Glass technology.
