4 SOME ACHIEVEMENTS: AGC BUILDING GLASS AROUND THE WORLD AGC GLASS BUILDING A NEARLY ZERO-ENERGY BUILDING IN LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE SINO ECOLOGICAL ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING IN BEIJING, CHINA EUROPA BUILDING (EUROPEAN COUNCIL) IN BRUSSELS

5 WHAT CAN AGC GLASS DO TODAY IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY?

6 GLASS MEETS A GROWING RANGE OF NEEDS INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY THROUGH COATINGS* *invisible layers of metal oxides deposited thanks on glass which reinforce its insulation and/or solar control properties (nanotechnologies). ENHANCING INTERIOR DESIGN REINFORCING SAFETY AND SECURITY GENERATING ENERGY DEVELOPING COMMUNICATION

7 GLASS MEETS A GROWING RANGE OF NEEDS OFFERING NEW FUNCTIONALITIES ANTIBACTERIAL ANTI-SCRATCH WATER REPELLENT ANTI-FOG THIN GLASS IGU, ANTI FINGER PRINT, ANTI-GLARE, ANTI-REFLECTIVE

10 AGC & INDUSTRY 4.0 Numerical simulation tools used for designing and running all our manufacturing tools Process control system Low energy processes Remote control Roland Berger

11 FROM A DATA DRIVEN INDUSTRY Data is collected from the process (sensors, observation, ) Data efficiently stored on numeric support Data processing by specific algorithm Data driven decision tool TO A BIG DATA INDUSTRY NEW KIND OF DATA NEW DATA TYPOLOGY ALGORITHM ADAPTATION - new typology - streaming

12 BIG DATA TOGETHER WITH REMOTE CONTROL AND PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS Maintenance Optimization (Predictive maintenance) Process Optimization (Navigate / Assist best settings : Algorithm) Advanced Patrol (Remote Auto-abnormality detection) Site Engineer IT BOX Data Monitoring / Storing (core system) HQ/R&D Knowledge Utilization (FLOATPEDIA : Experience and Defect DB)

13 TRAINING BASED ON VIRTUAL REALITY A SIMULATION TOOL TAKING TRAINEES IN IMMERSIVE GLASS INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT WORKERS TRAINED TO ASSESS RISKS AND ADOPT SAFE BEHAVIOR

14 AGC: ADVANCED MATERIALS Roland Berger

BIPV WITH ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAIC OPV 25% more sun

need for direct light diffuse light is ok - Works

Better response to: - Increased sizes of buildings

Zero Energy District requiring 3 times more energy

15 BIPV WITH ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAIC OPV 25% more sun harvesting factor than Si PV in Urban Area - No need for direct light diffuse light is ok - Works better than Si PV in all orientations/angles Better response to: - Increased sizes of buildings in urban area - Need to positive energy building. Zero Energy District requiring 3 times more energy than needed for the building And it will become transparent!

16 SMART WINDOWS: HALIO BY AGC GLASS SWITCHING FROM......CLEAR To DARK (& in between) in less than 3

17 Beyond glass: end-to-end solution Smart-tinting windows for on demand light control Cloud interfaces for easy setup and automation Gateway & system hardware that stay out of sight Simple, intuitive wall mounted controls that match any decor Warranty, maintenance & operations service

18 HALIO SYSTEM ENABLES TO CONTROL NATURAL LIGHT REMOTELY Natural light switch Mobile app Tint or bleach windows Halio cloud platform Control algorithm 3 rd party integration Monitoring dashboards

5 BENEFITS FROM HALIO CONNECTED CLOUD SYSTEM Halio cloud platform Remote control & automation Monitoring &

Full control of the building façade with possible customization Building s facility manager can monitor

maintenance and repair Data analytics enables to anticipate if a system component is likely to fail Drives

19 5 BENEFITS FROM HALIO CONNECTED CLOUD SYSTEM Halio cloud platform Remote control & automation Monitoring & dashboard Reactive support & maintenance Predictive maintenance Data analytics for Building improvement Full control of the building façade with possible customization Building s facility manager can monitor façade status in real time Halio customer service provides remote and onsite support for system maintenance and repair Data analytics enables to anticipate if a system component is likely to fail Drives improved service level at lower costs Data collected from building behavior enables optimization of system configuration

20 AGC: MASS CUSTOMIZATION Roland Berger

21 MASS CUSTOMIZATION BASED ON REALISTIC RENDERING: COATING ON DEMAND coating definition Colors selection Lunch 9AM 12AM Plant tour 5PM Realistic rendering Coating Customization (optimisation + rendering) Sample(s) production
