Most of the world's drivers are looking through float glass. So are civil airline pilots, high speed train drivers, bus and truck drivers. Most of the glass in the world's homes, offices, hotels, public and industrial buildings is float glass. All from the process invented by Sir Alastair Pilkington which is now the universal method for making high quality flat glass. Pilkington is a high technology business. It's expertise in glass compositions and coatings is applied to the manufacture of products which keep heat in or out of buildings and transport. It's understanding of the physics of glass is applied to make products, many of complex shape, which are strong, durable and optically excellent. Advances in thin glass manufacture and in coatings are opening new opportunities in electronics. SCIMCON have been involved with Pilkington mapping the R&D process to their selected LIMS and providing post live guidance.
