Fire-Rated Glazing Shapes Safer, Daylit School Design
Eric Hamber Secondary School sets a benchmark for modern, safety-driven educational design in Vancouver, BC. Replacing a 1960s facility, the building integrates advanced fire- and life-safety strategies with open, student-centered spaces. Central to this vision are fire-rated glazing systems from Technical Glass Products, including the Fireframes SG Curtainwall® Series with Pilkington Pyrostop® transparent wall panels and Fireframes® Designer Series Doors paired with Fireframes Aluminum Series sidelites and transoms. These systems enable expansive glazed openings that support compartmentation and safe egress while preserving daylight and visibility. The result is a resilient, code-compliant school that demonstrates how fire-rated glazing can seamlessly unite safety, performance, and contemporary design.

Softsolution Smart Defect Control

Smart Defect Control: The LineScanner Learns to See Glass Through Human Eyes
Not every defect a scanner finds is one a customer will ever see. With Smart Defect Control, Softsolution teaches the LineScanner to judge defects the way a quality inspector would. For each flaw, an AI-powered Visibility Score weighs size, optical contrast, position on the pane, and surrounding surface characteristics, then rates how likely a human observer is to notice it under normal viewing conditions. Instead of long lists of technically detectable but practically invisible marks, operators see the defects that matter. They set how strict that judgment is with a single dial and save the setting for each glass type, with consistent results across every shift and plant. The LineScanner also comes in a redesigned housing, while its proven core remains: float, tempered, laminated, and insulating glass inspected in one pass with 90° telecentric lighting, 16-bit image evaluation, and AI-based defect categorization. See it live at Glasstec 2026, Booth 14/E42.

SMART Automation Solutions™ Edging Cell
HHH Equipment Resources brings application-driven automation to glass edging with the SMART Automation Solutions™ Edging Cell. The system pairs a robotic arm with glass-specific end-of-arm tooling and the KODIAK® 12HS high-speed flat polishing machine to create a coordinated production cell engineered around the fabricator’s workflow.
The robot handles repetitive glass handling, positioning and machine loading/unloading, helping reduce manual touchpoints while supporting consistent material flow and a safer work environment. The KODIAK 12HS brings proven edging performance with 12 heavy-duty spindles engineered for continuous production, speed and consistent edge quality. Working together, robot and edger address the critical space between handling and processing—where labor constraints and inconsistent pacing can create production bottlenecks.
Designed as a modular solution, the SMART Automation Edging Cell can operate independently or become part of a broader connected automation strategy, giving fabricators a practical path to automate today and expand as production needs evolve. THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR.
SMARTER HANDLING. PROVEN PROCESSING. ONE INTEGRATED CELL.
