The production of a small quantity of different products has always been an issue for the container glass industry. The IS machine had to be completely stopped and reconfigured. In addition, the whole production run had to be turned over to the other article and more moulds than necessary had to be purchased for these low-volume items. Downtime was very costly and production efficiency suffered greatly. Today, gobs of different weights can efficiently be produced on the same IS machine simultaneously.
