Glass Manufacturing Dashboard in Power BI

Running a glass manufacturing plant requires speed, precision, and constant monitoring. Production teams juggle multiple variables—energy consumption, furnace temperature, cooling time, scrap generation, downtime, and shift performance. Tracking these KPIs manually wastes time and leads to delayed decisions. That’s why every modern manufacturing unit needs a Glass Manufacturing Dashboard in Power BI.

This powerful dashboard converts raw production data into clean visuals, KPI cards, charts, slicers, and automated comparisons. Instead of scrolling through spreadsheets, managers get instant clarity on what is happening across plants, products, and shifts. Whether you want to reduce scrap, control energy usage, improve shift productivity, or plan maintenance smarter—this dashboard gives you everything in one place.
