Manage glass offcut inventory racks and reusable remnant sheets
What this does
Tracks high-value glass remnants stored in A-frame harp racks, automatically incorporating them into future small-window cutting batches.
Before you start
- Define minimum square meter and width/height remnant limits for glass stock.
Steps
Important
Store glass offcuts strictly on padded vertical harp racks separated by glass thickness to prevent surface abrasion and micro-fractures.
-
01
Open Production › Cutting & Offcuts › Glass Offcut Inventory.
-
02
Review remaining glass pieces by glass type (Clear, Tinted, Low-E, Laminated), thickness (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm), and rack slot.
-
03
Tag and record new glass remnants directly from completed cutting tables.
-
04
Verify edge integrity to ensure remnants stored on harp racks have clean, uncracked perimeters.
Common mistakes
- Storing Low-E coated offcuts without protective film, leading to atmospheric oxidation.
- Keeping irregular non-rectangular offcuts that cannot be clamped on automatic cutting tables.
