Ceramic and tile manufacturers — batch and kiln visibility live
As featured in PrintWeek India, April 2026
Your Production Flow
Every batch. Every kiln. Every grade tracked.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Raw Material & Body Preparation
4 stages
Raw Material Receipt
Clay, feldspar, quartz, and other body materials received and tested.
✓ Clicarity: Material lot number recorded — traceability from raw to finished tile
Body Mixing / Ball Milling
Body materials ball-milled to required fineness.
✓ Clicarity: Milling time and fineness logged per batch
Spray Drying
Slurry spray dried to granules of required moisture content.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: moisture deviation — pressing defects result
Glaze Preparation
Glaze materials prepared per formulation for application.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: glaze viscosity off — application defects affect entire batch
02
Pressing & Drying
3 stages
Pressing
Granules pressed into tile shape at required tonnage.
✓ Clicarity: Green tile count per press tracked — dimension check logged
Drying
Green tiles dried to remove moisture before glazing.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: drying temperature variation — warpage in fired tiles
Edge Trimming
Tile edges trimmed to required dimensions.
03
Glazing & Decoration
3 stages
Glaze Application
Glaze applied by bell, disc, or digital printing.
✓ Clicarity: Glaze weight per tile logged — deviation from standard flagged
Digital Printing
Design printed on tile surface using digital inkjet printer.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: print head clogging — entire run affected before detected
Decoration / Embossing
Additional decoration or surface texture applied.
04
Firing
3 stages
Kiln Loading
Tiles loaded on kiln cars per stacking pattern.
Firing
Tiles fired in roller kiln at required temperature curve.
✓ Clicarity: Kiln temperature and speed logged — deviation flags immediately
Kiln Unloading
Fired tiles unloaded and cooled before grading.
✓ Clicarity: Fired tile count vs loaded count tracked — kiln yield visible
05
Grading & Dispatch
3 stages
Grading & Sorting
Tiles graded by quality — A grade, B grade, and reject.
✓ Clicarity: Grade-wise quantity logged — second grade rate visible per kiln run
Packing
Tiles packed in boxes per grade and size.
✓ Clicarity: Packed quantity vs order confirmed before dispatch
Dispatch
Order dispatched with grade certificate and delivery challan.
✓ Clicarity: Full batch history from raw material to dispatch preserved
Where Ceramic Manufacturers Lose Batches & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Kiln Deviation
Kiln temperature deviation creating 40% second grade — found at grading
A tile manufacturer tracked kiln temperature logs against grade outcomes. Batches where kiln temperature deviated by more than 8°C had 38-42% second grade output. With Clicarity, kiln temperature is a logged stage. Deviations flag in real time. Second grade from kiln deviation reduced 45%.
Second grade from kiln deviation reduced 45%
Moisture Issue
Spray dryer moisture deviation causing warpage — discovered after firing
Spray dryer outlet moisture was not being logged consistently. High moisture batches were being pressed and fired — warpage discovered only at grading. With Clicarity, moisture logging is a mandatory stage before pressing. Warpage rejections from moisture deviation: eliminated.
Warpage from moisture deviation eliminated — pre-press check enforced
Dispatch Short
Order dispatched with wrong grade mix — retailer complained
A dispatch team packed B grade tiles in an A grade order box. Retailer discovered the mix and returned the full consignment — ₹2.1L in logistics and restocking cost. With Clicarity, packing requires grade confirmation against the order. Grade mix incidents: zero since implementation.
₹2.1L grade mix return prevented — grade confirmation enforced at packing
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""We used to find out about kiln parameter deviations only after the batch was graded — 40% second grade on those batches. Now kiln parameters are logged at the stage and deviations flag while we can still adjust.""

Questions from ceramic tiles businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every batch. Every kiln. Before the grade drops.
