GED Integrated Solutions is exhibiting at GlassBuild America Expo Sept. 13-15 in Atlanta. This will be GED's first live tradeshow since the start of the pandemic.
“We are excited to be seeing our customers and future customers in person this year at GlassBuild,” says John Moore, VP of marketing at GED. “This year has taught us how to work remote from each other, but nothing replaces the face-to-face contact. We will be embracing new technologies to engage booth visitors with our equipment and software.”
GED's booth, Booth #1739 will feature several kiosk monitors playing product videos. A large display structure will play corporate and product videos on one side and feature a meeting area with a conference table and monitor on the other. A section of the booth will be designated for demonstrating GED’s WinTrax Intelligent Logistics System, which uses RFID technology to locate window components throughout a window manufacturing facility.
“We’ve made enhancements to the software that benefits the window manufacturing processes and distribution channels,” says Tony DiFiore, software R&D Manager at GED. “With the introduction of the WinTrax Handheld, we’ll demonstrate the ease of finding windows versus using a barcode scanner.” Visitors will also be able to calculate their WinTrax savings using a new online cost savings calculator.
A large kiosk monitor will offer an inside look into a GED window manufacturing facility, giving visitors an opportunity to explore machine key features, rotate 3D machine renderings, watch product videos, view sales literature sheets and brochures in a resource library, and go directly to The GED Store where they can register and view more than 20,000 OEM parts for GED machines.
"Using interactive technology, we’re elevating our tradeshow presence in a way that educates booth-goers about what we do and presents a new way of looking at window, door, and glass manufacturing equipment and software," says Laura Fiegelist, marketing communications coordinator and GED’s tradeshow booth manager. "You’ll be able to tour a window plant that uses GED IG and Window Systems and Software and dive into each manufacturing stage, seeing how everything is connected."
Since 2020, GED has introduced several new products to its IG and Window Systems including the following:
- CleanCut 1700 Series Cutting & Deletion System
- CMM 2.0 Reinvented Colonial Muntin Machine
- RoboClean Sash full machine
- RoboClean Sash Twin-Head Robotic Vinyl Corner Cleaner
- TruWeld full machine image
- TruWeld Servo Speed Welder
- New Hot Melt Pumps for GED Extruders
“Although this past year has had its challenges, we at GED have not stopped. We acquired the door equipment manufacturer – Norfield (who will be in our booth at the show); we are now the North American distributor for Sparklike Oy products and calibration services; and we will be introducing two new IG components that will allow our customers to continue to manufacture IG as the great capacity, highest quality and lowest total coast,” says Moore.
