AWS has developed and implemented an updated real-time control system at its manufacturing plants in the UK (Newcastle-under-Lyme) and Slovakia (Namestovo) to cover every aspect of its business at the two facilities. The £50,000 bespoke ERP system enables the company to monitor activities and provide immediate feedback to customers concerning their orders.

“Obviously we have had our ERP software in place for many years controlling and monitoring numerous activities within our business processes from receipt of orders through to despatch to customers. However, we have been working on our vision for full shopfloor control to supplement our current system for some while and we are now ready to enter the era of the Smart Factory – or Industry 4.0,” said AWS’s CEO Paul Deehan.
