Glass Manufacturing in Perrysburg, Ohio

Up near Bowl­ing Green State Uni­ver­si­ty is the town of Per­rys­burg, Ohio. The small town of just over 20,000 cit­i­zens was brought into exis­tence after the set­tle­ment below Fort Meigs was flood­ed in the 1800s. As set­tlers moved to high­er ground in 1816, they decid­ed on the land that is now Per­rys­burg, which they named for 1812 naval com­man­der Com­modore Oliv­er Haz­ard Per­ry. The area is now home to man­u­fac­tur­ing of solar mod­ules, cut­ting tools and glasswa

Owens-Illi­nois Inc. a glass pack­ag­ing man­u­fac­tur­er locat­ed in Per­rys­burg, is one of the most notable com­pa­nies in the area. The com­pa­ny is also one of the largest glass pack­age man­u­fac­tur­ers in the world.

A com­pa­ny like Owens-Illi­nois can use robot­ic automa­tion for sev­er­al dif­fer­ent process­es. One major process that can be helped by robot­ics is the han­dling of the glass prod­ucts. Robots have a del­i­cate grasp, and adjust their grip to work with the tol­er­ance of the prod­uct. This cuts down on work­er error and break­age dur­ing pro­duc­tion. Robots can also be used to box and pal­letize glass­ware for ship­ping, fur­ther cut­ting down on the chance for work­er error and break­age. By min­i­miz­ing the chance for error, the com­pa­ny has less loss due to do dam­age and more prod­uct makes it to the consumer.
