30–35%Factory Productivity
AlRound Sheetmetals
The wins for AlRound Sheetmetals
AlRound's Onehunga shop turns aluminium, stainless, mild and corten into ducting, flashings and custom enclosures for Auckland — and lifted factory productivity 30–35% by putting Empower on every station.
A high-mix shop under one roof
AlRound Sheetmetals runs everything from precision flashings and fire-service cabinets to bespoke stainless enclosures — high-mix, high-tolerance work that has to hit spec first time. CNC laser, CNC pressbrake, coil-line ducting and hand welding all sit on the same floor.
Data on every station
Empower captures time against every job from the laser through pressbrake to weld and pack. Managers see live where each order is, where minutes are being spent, and which stations are the bottleneck as the day runs — not reconstructed after the fact.
30–35% more out the same shop
That live visibility has translated into a 30–35% lift in factory productivity — same square metres, same crew, meaningfully more work moving through the door. Margin discipline on job costing tightened alongside it.
