How Integrating Alora Helped All Metals Fabricating Increase Utilization by More Than 150%
In 2021, All Metals Fabricating (AMF) took a huge step toward Industry 4.0 by deploying a manufacturing intelligence solution, Alora. The results: AMF improved its job shop utilization rates drastically. In some departments, the increase was more than 150%.
Leading the way is Lance Thrailkill, who is the third generation of his family to guide AMF since it launched in 1953. When he joined the business, he brought his background as a CPA to bear, learning the metal fabrication business from the books out. Today as CEO, Lance’s focus is on identifying areas where AMF can improve and systematically tackling those challenges. ECI and Alora play a significant role in helping him do just that.
“My job is to help our people do their job more effectively and efficiently. Everything we’ve invested in is rooted there. For us, Alora has been a really powerful tool in that effort.”
