As September wraps up, we’re excited to share the latest updates from Fitfactory. This month has been busy with exciting product launches, customer visits, and team celebrations. Let’s take a look back at everything we’ve been up to this month.


National Manufacturing Day 2024

This September, Fitfactory proudly took part in the Make UK National Manufacturing Day 2024, with our Stockton and Cardiff offices opening their doors to welcome future makers. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase how vital software development and support are to the UK manufacturing sector.

National Manufacturing Day provides behind-the-scenes access to an industry that plays a critical role in the economy and local communities. By giving students, residents, and local groups a glimpse into how we operate, we hope to inspire the next generation of innovators and makers.

We’re incredibly proud to have been part of this national celebration of UK manufacturing and to have shared how Fitfactory’s digital solutions are driving innovation across the sector.


Tricorn Cloud: The Future of Manufacturing Operations

This month saw the highly anticipated launch of Tricorn Cloud, the ultimate solution for manufacturers looking to streamline processes, reduce costs, and ensure business continuity.

Why Tricorn Cloud?
With Tricorn Cloud, manufacturers can instantly access and control their operations without the need for costly on-premise servers. It offers secure cloud backups, robust redundancy systems, and real-time data access, all of which ensure business continuity even in the face of unexpected hardware failures or disasters.

What sets Tricorn Cloud apart is its ability to foster collaboration across geographically dispersed teams. By enabling remote access, teams can seamlessly work together, improving communication and workflow management. Whether you’re in the office, on the shop floor, or working remotely, Tricorn Cloud brings everyone together on one platform, making operations smoother and more efficient.

Another standout feature is its scalability. Tricorn Cloud grows with your business, so as you expand, there’s no need for costly infrastructure upgrades. You can easily accommodate additional users, data, and processing needs without significant upfront investment.

Plus, with quicker implementation times compared to traditional setups, your business can start benefiting from Tricorn Cloud sooner rather than later. It’s the ultimate solution for future-proofing your manufacturing operations.

Customer Visits: Sheldon Precision and M-CNC

At Fitfactory, we believe that staying close to our customers is key to continually improving our services. This month, we had the pleasure of visiting two of our valued customers, Sheldon Precision and M-CNC Precision Engineering Limited.

Sheldon Precision
We made a trip to Barnstaple to catch up with Howard Sheldon and his team at Sheldon Precision. It was great to see how our systems are supporting their current operations, but more importantly, we were able to have in-depth discussions on how we can continue to help them achieve their long-term goals. Customer feedback is essential to us, and visits like this ensure we’re always prioritising development based on real needs.

M-CNC Precision Engineering
We also took a trip to M-CNC Precision Engineering in Bridgewater. Mark Wylde, M-CNC’s Managing Director, and Mark Bernhardt, their Quality Manager, gave us a behind-the-scenes tour of their site, showcasing some of their incredible new investments in cutting-edge technology.

Seeing UK manufacturers thrive and hearing about their future plans is always inspiring. We’re delighted to be part of their journey and are committed to helping them achieve even more success with our digital solutions.
