Abstract
Kokomo Opalescent Glass (KOG) is a manufacturer of art glass located in Kokomo Indiana. KOG has high defect rates in their sheet glass production process that can vary greatly depending on operator experience and environmental factors. This project aimed to improve the repeatability of KOG’s sheet glass production process by enabling them to monitor the temperature at which glass sheets enter their annealing oven and to decrease their defect rate, which has historically been around 25%. Through integrating instrumentation and data collection into KOG’s production process, defects in sheet glass production were successfully decreased by approximately 10% in the weeks following the installation of the device created in this project.
