ROBOTIC GLAZING

Glazio

Robotic glazing and decoration that never drifts.

Closed-loop control of glaze, engobe, and digital decoration, commissioned in simulation before the robot touches a piece.

The problem

Glaze and decoration drift

Glaze and engobe application and digital decoration decide the surface, color, and defect rate of a piece, and today they drift. Manual glaze-line setup, nozzle wear, changing glaze rheology, and inconsistent robot programming produce uneven coverage, pinholes, crawling, and shade variation. Reprogramming robots for a new format is slow and specialist-bound, so plants under-utilize automation and eat scrap on every changeover.

The solution

Robotic glazing that never drifts

Glazio drives glaze, engobe, and decoration robots with closed-loop control on coverage, film thickness, and placement, adjusting in real time to glaze rheology and surface feedback from Vitreo. New formats and decorations are commissioned in Isaac simulation first, so a changeover that took a specialist hours is validated before the robot touches a piece.

  • Caliber-aware decorationTies digital-decoration placement to caliber and surface feedback.

Capabilities

What Glazio controls

Robot control on Jetson Orin with Isaac, closing the loop with Vitreo surface feedback.

Application control

Coverage, film thickness, and uniformity held steady against drift.

Digital decoration

Placement tied to caliber and surface, format by format.

Simulation commissioning

New formats validated in Isaac before the robot runs.

Impact

Consistent surface, faster changeover

Fewer pinholes, crawling, and shade defects from drift
Faster changeovers validated in simulation first
Higher automation utilization on the glaze line

How Glazio connects

Glazio is an act layer of the loop. It executes on Kilnex and Vitreo output, decoration setpoints from the twin, live surface feedback from perception, and shares glaze-quality data back into the plant's craft memory.

Glazio FAQ

Answers for plant leaders

Does Glazio work with our existing robots?
Glazio provides the closed-loop control layer and commissions formats in Isaac simulation; it's designed to drive standard glaze-line and decoration robots rather than replace the cell.
How does it handle glaze rheology changes?
It adjusts application in real time to rheology and to surface feedback from Vitreo, holding coverage and thickness on target as conditions change.
What about new decorations?
New formats and decorations are commissioned in simulation first, so changeovers are validated before the robot touches a piece.
