Exciting Innovations from DRM at GlassBuild 2025

DRM, LLC, a prominent player in automation integration, is set to exhibit its latest innovations at GlassBuild America 2025. The event will take place from November 4 to 6 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Known for its unique focus on the post-sale phase of equipment integration, DRM will stand out among many exhibitors dedicated merely to glass processing equipment sales.

Live Demonstrations of Advanced Robotic Technology

At Booth #23159, attendees will experience a live demonstration featuring a robotic cell that simulates a dispensing application relevant to glass manufacturing. This setup is strategically designed to replicate real-world movement patterns, showcasing DRM's expertise in precision programming, path control, and effective robot integration. While the robotic cell will not dispense materials during the show, it will illustrate the custom motions and efficiencies involved in adhesive or sealant processes, built on a robust KUKA robotic platform.

Supporting Glass Manufacturers in Implementation

Beyond showcasing technology, DRM plays a critical role in assisting glass manufacturers with the installation and integration of their new machines. Understanding the complexities that arise post-installation, DRM aims to get these investments operational and efficient. As Barry Brian, a partner at DRM, emphasizes, “Once the equipment hits the floor, the hard part begins. Our expertise helps clients figure out where to fit their new equipment, how to integrate and power it, and how to ensure operator safety.”

Highlighting Core Capabilities

During the event, DRM will provide insights into five key areas of integration:

1. Machine Integration: Seamlessly connecting new equipment to existing control systems and infrastructure.
2. Material Handling: Implementing robotic systems designed to reduce labor while improving the handling of oversized or fragile glass products.
3. Inspection Systems: Utilizing vision tools for real-time defect detection and quality assurance.
4. Functional Safety: Offering TÜV-certified systems that enhance safety through light curtains and interlocks.
5. Data Collection: Providing SCADA and MES-ready systems for comprehensive throughput tracking and traceability.

The live demo will tackle common challenges faced in glass manufacturing, emphasizing the integration of automation within actual production lines that often deal with tight changeovers and variable parts, thus allowing limited availability for operators.

Strong Industry Affiliations

DRM boasts a reputation bolstered by elite partnerships, including its status as a KUKA Robotics Platinum Partner and a Gold OEM Partner with Rockwell Automation. These distinctions illustrate DRM’s commitment to engineering excellence, effective vendor collaboration, and an expansive support network for industrial clients.
