is integrated into both scheduling and ERP systems to provide a comprehensive view of performance and production analytics,” Michael adds.“ We’ re soon to bring these technologies to the wider market, and the software’ s ability to work on all types of equipment and ERP systems has been very well received in early market presentations.”
In terms of manufacturing, Alloy occupies a 73,000-square-foot facility, with a 10,000-square-foot expansion underway.“ Our third building is progressing well, and we expect completion by the end of September 2026,” Michael explains.“ This facility will provide a more efficient organization and expansion of our maintenance and bar stock inventory and processing functions, and open growth space for Swiss and CNC operations, and larger bellows expansion.”
When we last spoke to Michael in 2025, he shared details about Alloy’ s digital
transformation strategy, with AI and other emerging technologies taking center stage.“ We operate a high degree of custom equipment and processes, and the implementation of innovative and advanced manufacturing is part of our culture,” he explains.“ We’ re now using optical laser technology to inspect component parts, and cobots to enhance accuracy and efficiency by replacing repetitive manual functions. We’ ve also developed custom laser equipment to accurately trim, cut, and seal component parts, as well as proprietary software to create and print the requirement certification for shipments in ten percent of the time taken by manual work.
