Real Results from Real Fabricators

The Challenge

A major aerospace OEM required Systems Fabrication & Machine to provide quarterly Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions data with a 15% reduction roadmap. Manual calculations from utility bills were unreliable, leaving management with no confidence for customer audits.

The Solution

FabricateIQ was deployed across all three facilities. As a brand-agnostic platform, it monitored every machine—regardless of manufacturer—from a single dashboard, providing machine-level energy and carbon data within 60 days.

The Outcome

Systems Fabrication & Machine kept the aerospace contract and passed rigorous supplier audits. By identifying that three machines were responsible for 35% of emissions, they achieved an 18% reduction in one year. Predictive maintenance alerts reduced downtime by 40%. They are now winning new automotive contracts, turning compliance into a competitive advantage.

The Challenge

The owner of B&S Custom Metalworks operates 12 machines, including high-precision lasers. With electricity bills hitting $264,000 last year, they knew costs were rising but couldn't pinpoint the primary culprits for shrinking margins.

The Solution

After installing FabricateIQ sensors, the team discovered several key insights within 30 days: the TRUMPF 3030 was consuming 38% more energy per cut-hour than the newer 5030, a press brake was idling 4.2 hours per shift, and peak demand spikes were hitting every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:15 AM.

The Outcome

Within 6 months, annual spend dropped by 27% and OEE is now a tracked metric. The dashboard caught a $12K chiller repair early, preventing a costly failure. By understanding energy cost per job, B&S renegotiated contracts with high-volume customers that were previously unprofitable. The facility is now on track to hit 70% OEE by year-end.
