After seeing a demo of the software on the BM Group stand at this year’s FIT Show, Kingfisher Windows has become the first customer in the UK to sign up for BM Aluminium’s new LogiKal MES production tracking system.
The Leeds based trade, retail and commercial fabricator, is leading the way with the advanced new feature in LogiKal, which promises to deliver meaningful improvements in production efficiency, operational accuracy, and both internal and external communication.
LogiKal MES gives aluminium fabricators full visibility of their production across multiple shifts – from material optimisation to manufacturing deviations, and lets them move to fully paperless operations. It allows for centralised control and reporting, and displays real-time tracking of jobs and order status, errors and solutions on an integrated dashboard which can be accessed in the factory or remotely 24/7.
Ash Ellis, Kingfisher Windows’ General Manager, says that ultimately, the investment is about helping the company deliver an even better service to customers: “We already have tracking software which gives us full visibility of the PVC-U side of our business, and this will give us something comparable for aluminium.
“We’re proud to be the very first UK customer – it’s very much in line with our commitment to innovation and efficiency, and we’re looking forward to working with the BM Aluminium team to complete the installation.”
Daniel Hodges, Head of Sales for BM Aluminium, added: “LogiKal MES generated a huge amount of interest at the FIT Show, with several fabricators keen to sign up there and then. Kingfisher were first in line though, and we’re delighted to be partnering with them. We’ll be sharing more details of the installation once it’s complete and announcing details of more customer sign ups shortly.”
