Torna all’indiceIn a period when trade events have been puton hold, companies of all industrial sectorsare working to find ways to continue theiractivities. In this article R.C.N. Solutionsshows us how it is doing this, respondingto demands for customisation and completeproduction solutions.We are approaching the end ofthe year and itis a real challenge to accept that glasstec 2020 willnot take place in its usualformat, leaving a businessgap that we hope will befilled by next year’s edition.In fact, the ongoing healthemergency does not allow the regular operationsof exhibitions and tradeshows, and we are all responsible for virus containment measures, practisingsocial distancing too.R.C.N. Solutions is facing these global events ina world that seems to bemoving in slow motion,and is responding to thisdramatic time carrying outits job as usual, with customers and market as itspriorities.INVESTMENTS ANDPROJECTSThe Covid pandemic hasled to worries and perplexities regarding the future, and most investmentsand projects have beencancelled or postponed.In spite of this situation,R.C.N. has continued toreceive enquiries for machines, especially concerning customisation and complete production solutions,which the company neverneglects or underestimatesbecause they are an important part of development.But what has R.C.N. donethis year, forced to work inclosed premises?First of all, it has enforcedInternet technology to keepin contact with the globalbusiness world, especiallyto support the company’stechnical service, penalisedby the travel ban.

The compa-90RCN art GTI5.indd 90ny started putting this policy into practice some yearsago, after understandingthat it was significant andhighly important to haveother choices in additionto the different standardsizes, offering more possibility for customisation inorder to cover needs anddemand and satisfy clients.NEW SYSTEM FORSAFETY GLASSR.C.N. has always followed developments regarding the new use ofglass, responding with aproduction layout made upof three essential plants:bending, chemical tempering and lamination. Thistrio responds to the pro-duction of safety glass, andcurved glass in particular.The brand name of thissystem is ISF ‘IntegratedSequencing Framework’.This production settingis very important becauseeach line, which can be installed independently fromthe others, has several options: from the differentindependent heating zonesof the bending kiln, controlled by PLC, for complex curves; to chemicaltempering serving the optical, aeronautics automotiveindustries, etc.; right up tolamination, concluding thecycle for the production ofsafety glass.The present trend is to usethin glass – almost likepaper – for further lightweighting and transparency in buildings. Chemicallytempered thin glass canbe bent cold and at environmental temperature. Itis then used for façades,after being laminated, asit is flexible and safe. Thistechnique has created a lotof curiosity and interest especially because it revealedto be low energy and costssaving process.LAMINATED GLASSWITH FINISHED EDGESR.C.N.’s most recent revolutionary development isthe new system to producelaminated glass with finished edges, during whichthe laminated glass comesGlass-Technology International 5/202012/10/20 12:33

This allows clients tohave a real important option for both final productsand costs, also saving time.PRODUCTIONSTRONG POINTSRESPONDING TOCLIENT AND MARKETNEEDSThese results are a furtherexample of R.C.N.’s skill inadapting its production tothe needs and demands ofits clients, and, of course,its constant efforts. Thesequence of all these elements create the company’sspecial DNA, which willcontinue to be an importantpart of the company in itsfuture growth.R.C.N.’s production has anumber of strong pointsthat create added value, together with the possibilityto check processes remotely, using the new R.C.N.‘Easy Connect’ App. Quality control is an important,delicate job, and machinemonitoring is part of thisprocedure. R.C.N.’s Appallows remote control fromPLC, tablet and/or mobile phone, also giving thechance to modify production parameters duringprocessing. The same Appcan be used to start a laterun or to check remotelytogether with the R.C.N.staff.R.C.N. has, as we can see,used this difficult time asthe motivation to considernew perspectives cultivating remote contacts andwork, while keeping an eyeon market requirementsand clients’ demands, and– of course – being readyfor new goals.RCN Solutions SrlVia Marcatutto, 7Italy20080 Albairate (MI) Tel.: 02-94602434Fax: 02-94602244tE-mail: logy International 5/2020RCN art GTI5.indd 919112/10/20 12:33
