1) COMPANY BACKGROUND
Xinyi Glass Holdings Limited, a major supplier in the global supply chain, was founded in
1988 and listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in February 2005. Xinyi is
the world's leading integrated glass manufacturer which cover a wide range of product including
high-quality float glass, automobile glass, engineering glass and electronic Glass. Xinyi Seven
industrial bases, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Jiangmen, Wuhu, Tianjin, Yingkou,
Deyang, Beihai, Zhangjiagang are in the eastern Yangtze River delta area, the southern Pearl River
delta area, the northern Beijing-Tianjin region and the western Chengdu-Chongqing region which
are the most active domestic economy zones in China. In 2015, Xinyi Glass invested in the
construction of large-scale production base in Malaysia in order to develop overseas markets.
Meanwhile, Xinyi glass has a total area of over 8.1 million square meter sand around 12,000
employees.
Xinyi boasts the domestic leading technical strength with a R&D centre appraised as the provincial
enterprise technical centre in 1997. The company has been committed to R&D of energy-
conservation and environmental-friendly products, and has developed the LOW-E glass capable
of being tempered and hot-bended, SOLAR-X heat-reflecting automobile glass and other
environmental-friendly products, HUD glass, water repelling glass, photocatalytic glass,
superpower high penetration resistant high-speed train glass, and other new products.
2) ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE RELATED POSITION APPLIES
Career
path at Xinyi Glass
Engineer robotics
My apply position at Xinyi glass is engineer robotic. At Xinyi Glass Factory being built
with automatic production using robot to handle the product. As an engineer robotic has
responsible to creating robot and robotic system that can perform duties. Through this position it
helps to make job safer, easier, and more efficiency, particularly in the manufacturing industries.
Engineer robotic responsible creating several different type robots such as ABB, KUKA that are
used to complete a variety task. For example, at the Xinyi glass it used ABB robot to pick up the
glass and arrange at storage, so that during the study my course cover in industrial robotic. I
became familiar with ABB robot that are suitable position to apply at Xinyi glass. As a engineer
robotic day to day duties such as design automatic system that are used to increase the production
and precision level within specific requirement company.
3) MISSION AND VISION
The company has an accreditation under the Quality Management System ISO / TS
16949:2002, QS-9000 and VDA6.1 in TUV certification system. As a company with a worldwide
reputation on the secondary auto glass market, XINYI exports its production to more than 100
countries.

5) COMPANY OPERATION PROCESS
Batch processing is one of the initial steps of the glass-making process. The batch house
simply houses the raw materials in large silos (fed by truck or railcar) and holds anywhere from
1–5 days of material. Some batch systems include material processing such as raw material
screening/sieve, drying, or pre-heating. Whether automated or manual, the batch house measures,
assembles, mixes, and delivers the glass raw material recipe (batch) via an array of chutes,
conveyors, and scales to the furnace. The batch enters the furnace at the 'dog house' or 'batch
charger'. Different glass types, colours, desired quality, raw material purity / availability, and
furnace design will affect the batch recipe.
For tempered glass for automobiles, glass is heated until its temperature gets near the softening
point and then cooled quickly to get the surface of glass to produce prestress layer on the surface
of glass and produce tensile stress inside it, so as to improve the strength of glass.
The company can manufacture tempered glass with different thickness such as 3.2mm, 3.5mm,
4.0mm, 5.0mm and 6.0mm for automobile side doors, side windows, rear windows, etc.
1) Cutting and grinding
3) Online inspection
4) Laminating
5) Autoclaving
The network used for setting up, developing and maintaining computer networks within an
organisation or between organisations. The network are support to users who can be staff, clients,
customers or suppliers to troubleshoot any problems that arise. It may in some cases, also be
involved in designing new networks.
7) PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE
i. Robotic Automation
The industrial robotics industry has been innovating and advancing the capabilities of robots and
their operator interfaces for over fifty years, yet recent research estimates that only approximately
10% of manufacturing tasks are current automated. Collaborative robotics represents the next
step in the evolution of industrial robotics, significantly reducing the extensive safety measures
that have traditionally been a major technological and economic impediment to robotic
automation. Removing barriers between people and robots also permits a much closer integration
of human sensing and cognition with robotic manipulation, resulting in a level of flexibility that
has the potential to revolutionize industrial automation.
In robotic systems for the flat glass and solar module industry. It offer flexible glass handling
systems that are capable of handling a large range of flat glass sizes with speed, precision and
robustness. The glass handling systems include glass line feed systems and end of line racking
systems, as well as solutions for end of the line packaging. The systems and packaging solutions
are capable of interleaf removal and placement.
ii. Programmable Logic Control (PLC)
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a special computer device used in industrial control
systems. Due to its robust construction, exceptional functional features like sequential control,
counters and timers, ease of programming, reliable controlling capabilities and ease of hardware
usage – this PLC is used as more than a special-purpose digital computer in industries as well as
in other control-system areas. Most of the industries abbreviate these devices as “PC” but it is also
used for personal computers; due to this, many manufacturers named these devices as PLCs.
