Construction Consultancy Services Company of the Month

People centred project solutions

In this issue of Business and Industry Today

we have featured Carus Advisory Services

as our Construction Consultancy Services

Company of the Month

Carus Advisory Services is a

boutique built environment

advisory and leadership

consultancy built on the

principles of knowledge,

collaboration, transparency,

simplicity and accountability.

It empowers clients to make

informed decisions that

drive value and transform

their approach to project

delivery, fostering resilient

and efficient practices.

Founded in 2020 by

Precious Zumbika after

decades of experience

at the helm of cost and

resource leadership

operations and a portfolio

of high-value projects and

programmes, Carus Advisory

Services is on a mission to drive value, develop

resilient and efficient practices, and transform

traditional approaches to construction.

Its Built Environment Advisory specialises

in people-centred solutions. By embedding

the company’s expertise into transformative

procurement and delivery strategies, Carus

empowers high-performing teams to deliver

exceptional value from inception to completion

while mitigating risks.

Through collaboration and strategic innovation,

Carus is able to consider critical success factors

of each project and ensure the embedment of

these in the solutions advice and support we

provide our clients

Carus also provides an excellent Leadership

Consultancy, embedding leadership principles

into client’s project vision, procurement and

delivery strategy. By

focusing on people and

aligning with critical

success factors, the

company helps to create

high-performing, integrated

project teams that drive

success from inception to

completion.

Its multi-talented team

of consultants bring

a wealth of practical,

experiential and theoretical

principles to support

leadership development.

The company’s methods

of leadership consultancy

help clients develop high

The wealth of technical

experience at Carus means

the company can guide

clients through every step

of the process, providing

expert advice, support and

resources. Its focus is not

just on immediate solutions,

but on building long-term

capabilities and sustainable

practices that will drive

continuous improvement

and success.

performing and strategic

leadership teams. Its

approach is also flexible,

taking on client feedback

and supporting them in

designing and delivering

bespoke or co-created

programmes.

What sets Carus Advisory

Services apart is its blend

of technical expertise and

bespoke programme design.

It begins every engagement

with a thorough assessment

of client goals and their

vision for the future, which

allows the company to tailor

its services to meet specific

requirements and deliver

maximum value.

Precious explains, “We take

on the role of the critical

friend. We come in purely

in an advisory role, and

we challenge our clients to

think beyond the bounds of

a project or their business. This means we have

the ability to align leadership

in team behaviours with the

operating environment. Most

projects are fast paced, with

lots of stakeholders, so we

come and do a diagnosis of

the project and then tailor

our response in relation to

the entire project, not just

one area.”

Carus Advisory Services is

also unique in its peoplecentred

response to

construction & infrastructure

project pipelines. For

Precious, this ethos is

central to the company’s

success, “Our tagline is

people centred project solutions are important

to us. It’s all about the people. If you don’t

have the right people, you can’t build a project.

If you don’t have the people, you don’t have

performance. If you don’t have the people, you

don’t have a business. So, everything we do is

people-centred.”

This people-centric approach is paying off for

Carus. The company recently announced its

presence in South Africa alongside its other

global ventures. This new move allows Carus to

work more closely with partners in Johannesburg

and across the country but additionally, means

Carus can better support clients in the wider

region.

Looking toward 2026 and further into the future,

Carus Advisory Services has several exciting

programmes planned. The company is launching

its Hope Leadership

Framework and Impact

Facilitator programme next

year.

Precious told us, “Hope

stands for honest leaders

that lead under the

principles of honesty,

seeking opportunities,

promotion in a positive light,

and also empowerment,

because empowered leaders

generally will take their

teams with them, and a key

ingredient in developing high

performing behaviours.”

As well as the leadership

programmes, the company

is relaunching its Work Winning Framework

designed to support clients to win the right

work that’s aligned with their strategy and their

capability.

Carus Advisory Services believe in truly

understanding clients’ unique needs and

challenges. This bespoke methodology combined

with the company’s broad technical expertise

has created a brand that puts clients first.

The company’s strict adherence to its people

first principles, is changing the landscape of

construction consultation and cementing Carus

Advisory Services’ place in this competitive

industry.

Plastics & Rubber

FANUC closes plastics

skills gap with new

injection moulding

training programme

As part of its commitment to bridge

the manufacturing skills gap, FANUC

UK has launched a series of injection

moulding and robotics courses in

conjunction with leading plastics

training provider Sierra 57. Taking place

at the FANUC Academy in Coventry

throughout 2025, the sessions

will combine real world, hands-on

experience with FANUC’s ROBOSHOT

injection moulding machines alongside

a greater understanding of plastic

processing & manufacturing methods.

Following the success of the first course

at the end of January, the next training

session will take place 6-7 February

2025, focusing on ‘Injection Moulding

& Robotics Appreciation: Material,

Tooling, Plastic Processing, Machinery,

and Ancillary Equipment’. Designed to

empower the workforce by upskilling in

cutting-edge technologies, promoting

polymer and smart automation

education, and closing the skills gap,

the course aims to demystify the

terminology within injection moulding

and increase overall knowledge of the

manufacturing process. The training

will also showcase how automation and

robotics streamline production, improve

precision & enhance workplace safety.

Sean LittleJohn of Dudley Associates

attended the first course in January

2025, entitled ‘Materials Science’.

He comments, “It was a fresh look at

improving my knowledge of polymers,

reducing scrap and wastage, and

understanding why polyoxymethylene

can clear a factory quickly! I would

highly recommend the sessions to

anyone who’s interested in expanding

their knowledge.”

The key trends to look

for in the plastics sector

Charting the next

chapter at MGS

Effective immediately, Judson Smythe

is announced as the new Managing

Director of MGS Technical Plastics, one

of the nation’s fastest growing injection

moulding firms serving all industries

and markets.

Forming a critical part of the company’s

wider growth

strategy,

incumbent

Managing Director,

Neil Garrity,

will continue to

serve as Chair. At

the same time,

Mark Preston is

named as the

new Commercial

Director. Following

a management

buy-in by all

three leaders

in mid-2024,

the transition to

Managing Director

will be seamless

assures Judson.

Announcing this exciting next chapter

for the business to the 60-strong

team first, Judson confirms that all

three leaders, along with founder John

Sturgess, remain totally aligned in

their vision for MGS Technical Plastics.

Specifically, Judson highlights the

company’s unwavering focus on firm

growth and investments in people, more

sustainable machinery and technology,

while also maintaining the Blackburn

company’s rich culture and dedication

to customer service.

Assuming the role

on April 15, 2025,

Judson states,

“I am honoured

to accept the

position of

Managing Director.

The company’s

unwavering

commitment to

people, progress

and culture has

propelled us

through 50 years

of success, and

I’m humbled to

continue John and

Neil’s legacy and

be part of this

journey. By being

good stewards of the firm and staying

true to our core values, I’m confident

that MGS will continue to rapidly

grow, evolve and navigate commercial

challenges for many more decades.”

sense to use the by-product.”

The plastics industry has for

many years been at the forefront

of innovation as the sector has

become a lightning rod in the

debate over our environment.

But according to Symphony

Environmental, a company at the

forefront of packaging technology,

the plastics sector is leading

the charge when it comes to

a transformative shift towards

sustainability.

Michael Laurier, CEO of Symphony,

said, “This is an industry being

driven by huge change and as we

head into 2025, we can expect

to see an even greater focus on

innovation. Plastic products are

immensely useful, they are often

the best material for the job, & have

an excellent LCA. It is made from a

by-product of oil refining, & so long

as oil is required for fuels it makes

Laurier continued, “The plastics

industry is undergoing a dynamic

transformation, marked by a

convergence of innovative trends

that lead to a more sustainable

and responsible future. From the

development of biodegradable

and sustainable plastics, to the

integration of smart technologies,

the sector is adapting to address

pressing environmental concerns

and societal needs. Add into the

mix innovations in manufacturing

and recycling and the industry’s

commitment to efficiency, waste

reduction, and enhanced material

properties becomes clear.

“But what is also clear is that in

restricting single-use plastics and

passing other restrictive regulations,

albeit focused on promoting an

eco-conscious plastics economy,

government itself is engaging in

virtue-signalling instead of working

with innovators in the sector to

bring about real change.”

Self-Publishing Service Company of the Month

Transforming expertise

into published authority

In this issue of Business and Industry Today

we have featured SWATT Books as our Self-

Publishing Service Company of the Month

SWATT Books is a specialist

independent-publishing

consultancy that helps business

owners, coaches, and thought

leaders turn their expertise

into professionally published

books. Established in 2011 after

founder Sam Pearce took on a

publishing portfolio, SWATT Books

was created to provide a safe,

ethical publishing partnership

where business authors kept

full control of their rights and a

finished product that elevated their

authority.

Based in Amesbury, Wiltshire,

the company operates as a

boutique, high-touch consultancy

with a distributed team of

editors, designers and publishing

specialists across the UK. SWATT

Books’ authors come from all over

the world and the entire process is

managed digitally, so the company

is able to support clients wherever they’re based while

still delivering a personal, one-to-one experience.

SWATT Books’ core focus is end-to-end publishing

management including editing, cover design, interior

layout, print and eBook production, global distribution,

marketing support, and all the technical setup that

ensures a book is published to traditional standards.

The company offers multiple routes depending on the

client’s needs. There’s Full Publishing Partnerships

which is a high-touch service where SWATT manages

the entire project from manuscript to global availability.

There’s also Publishing Management Lite for authors

who already have final files and need expert help getting

their book published correctly.

SWATT Books also offers an Education & Strategy

package which includes workshops, a ‘Stress-Free Self-

Publishing’ course, power hours, and Sam’s bestselling

business publishing guide ‘The Write Strategy’, for those

who prefer to learn the process themselves.

No matter which route clients take, the overall goal is

the same – to help experts publish

professionally while retaining

their rights, royalties and creative

control. For Sam this philosophy

lies at the heart of SWATT Books,

“We are on a mission to

empower authors. We make the

publishing process transparent;

we ensure our authors retain

100% ownership of their rights

and royalties; and we partner

with them to create a book that

genuinely supports their business

and their goals.”

SWATT Books’ competitive

edge lies in the combination of

professional publishing standards,

ethical practice, and strategic

business alignment. Every book

it produces is guided by Sam’s

‘Ink 2 Influence’ methodology,

built around the five principles of

successful business publishing

– Alignment, Quality, Ownership, Distribution, and

Integration. This ensures each book is not only

beautifully produced but also positioned to support the

author’s wider commercial goals.

Its boutique approach also sets SWATT Books apart.

The company only takes on a limited number of authors

each quarter, allowing it to

maintain a very high level

of quality and personal

support. The impact

speaks for itself. One

client saw their consulting

enquiries triple within six

months of launch, and

another generated over

500 new subscribers and

multiple high-value clients

within the first weeks of

their book being released; all directly attributable to the

authority their book created.

This niche positioning, combined with the company’s

one-to-one support, has earned SWATT Books

accreditation from the Alliance of Independent Authors,

membership with the Independent Publishers Guild, and

multiple awards for service excellence, including being

twice named Self-Publishing Service of the Year.

This past year has been one of significant growth for

SWATT Books. In December, it published its 250th title;

a major milestone that reflects both the trust of SWATT

Books’ authors and the steady demand for ethical,

professional self-publishing support within the business

community.

In terms of innovation, the company has continued to

expand its support ecosystem. Alongside its flagship

Publishing Partnerships, SWATT Books launched the

Marketing Momentum Booster to help authors sustain

visibility post-launch, refreshed its ‘Stress-Free Self-

Publishing’ course for DIY authors, and added new

planning and publishing tools to make the process even

more accessible.

Looking ahead, SWATT Books goal is to continue raising

the standard of independent publishing for business

authors by expanding both its services and educational

ecosystem. The company is currently developing a suite

of digital products, including a Publishing Timeline

Planner, a Book Budget Toolkit, and a comprehensive

Publisher’s Toolkit, to help authors plan and execute

their projects with even greater clarity and confidence.

It's also working on a new programme designed to

support clients even earlier in the journey. This ‘Bookin-a-Box’

style planning system helps experts shape

their concepts, structure their ideas, and create a

commercially strong book blueprint before they begin

writing.

SWATT Books sits in a unique space between traditional

publishing and DIY self-publishing. Its operation as an

ethical, boutique alternative to the vanity-press model,

offers professional publishing expertise without taking

rights, royalties, or creative control from authors.

In this issue of Business and Industry Today,

we have featured Syrvi AI as our Service as

Software Company of the Month – a pioneering

This hybrid model addresses a critical market

need: businesses that have outgrown

manual processes but aren’t ready for – or

don’t want – the complexity of managing

multiple software tools.

Founded in 2024 by a team of seasoned

entrepreneurs and business strategists,

alongside talented AI developers and

software engineers, Syrvi AI’s suite of

AI solutions is designed to generate

Wattstor secures up to £50m debt facility from

Aldermore Bank to support

growth of Price Protect portfolio

Wattstor, a next generation energy company providing

commercial and industrial customers with low-cost

renewable electricity, has secured up to £50 million in

debt financing from Aldermore Bank to support the next

phase of its Price Protect project portfolio.

The financing agreement has been signed and will

initially be used to part-fund the first three Price Protect

projects, with further

drawdowns expected

as additional projects

reach financial close. The

facility supports Wattstor’s

ambition to finance more

than 15 projects over the

next 1-2 years, with further

expansion planned in

subsequent years.

The debt facility is

complemented by

additional equity

investment from Ara Partners, Wattstor’s private equity

backer. IDCM acted as exclusive Financial Advisor to

Wattstor.

The financing reflects institutional confidence in

Wattstor’s business model and the scalability of Price

Protect, which offers a tailored electricity supply tariff

designed to guarantee commercial customers below

market prices, insulate them from market shocks by

providing an absolute price cap, and let them take the

upside when wholesale prices decline.

Currently unmatched in the market, Price Protect is

made possible by the installation of onsite renewable

generation systems, designed, commissioned, operated

and optimised by Wattstor

themselves. The powerful

combination of system

design, battery energy

storage expertise and

proprietary software,

Podium, allows Wattstor

to offer something truly

unique in the UK energy

market.

The combination of Price

Protect’s differentiated

commercial offering and

Wattstor’s established record of delivering and operating

battery energy storage projects across Europe has made

the model attractive to a range of institutional investors.

The transaction represents an important milestone

for Wattstor, strengthening its funding position and

providing a scalable capital structure to support

continued project deployment.

Stephan Marty, CEO of Wattstor, said, “We are very

pleased to work with Aldermore Bank on this debt

facility. The financing supports the next phase of

Wattstor's growth as we scale the Price Protect portfolio.

The facility enables us to progress our initial projects

while maintaining a disciplined and repeatable approach

to development, backed by the continued support of our

partners.”

Myles O’Shaughnessy, Managing Director at Ara

Partners, said, “This landmark financing reflects the

strong progress Wattstor has made in building a robust

and scalable energy solutions platform while further

demonstrating the bankability of the Price Protect

offering. We are delighted to collaborate with Aldermore

to ensure that Wattstor and its Management team are

well supported to execute the next phase of growth for

the business.”

Kernow Oils strengthens Castrol partnership with

Digital Agency Company of the Month

Fill the gaps, unlock

your digital growth

In this issue of Business & Industry Today,

we are pleased to feature Netdesignr as our

Digital Agency Company of the Month

When it comes to digital transformation, many small

and medium-sized businesses invest in surface-level

solutions without addressing the fundamentals

that drive long-term success. At Netdesignr,

however, the focus has always been on building

robust digital foundations that turn website visitors

into loyal customers – a principle rooted in the

company’s origin story and lived through every client

partnership.

Founded in 2016 by Mihai Diaconita, whose

lifelong passion for design and technology, meant

that Netdesignr’s journey began long before the

company came into being. The spark was lit in

2008, when Mihai started freelancing as a graphic

designer from his mother’s apartment in Romania

under the online nickname

‘Netdesignr’. That early work

laid the groundwork for a future

business defined by creativity,

problem-solving and a holistic

approach to digital challenges.

After moving to the UK in 2010 in

pursuit of broader opportunities,

the founders witnessed firsthand

the common pitfalls that many

businesses encounter online –

and recognised a demand for a

different kind of agency. After a few

years, Madalina (Mihai’s partner)

joined as a co-founder and took

over the running of all admin and

business development.

Today, Netdesignr operates from

offices in London and Dubai,

supported by a skilled remote

team working across time zones

to serve clients globally. Their

mission is straightforward yet

profound: identify and fix the gaps in a business’s

digital foundation so that growth becomes not just

possible, but measurable and sustainable.

However, over 17 years of experience have revealed

a pattern – a majority of SMBs launch websites

without the strategic underpinnings needed to

convert traffic into revenue. Missing brand identity,

unclear value propositions, inconsistent messaging

and a lack of user research often leave wellintentioned

businesses wondering why their online

presence isn’t delivering results.

Netdesignr addresses these issues head-on.

Their services span user research, web design

and development, brand identity, conversion

optimisation, ongoing maintenance, clear

messaging and AI visibility optimisation. What sets

them apart is their commitment to outcomes over

outputs. Unlike many agencies that complete a

project and move on, Netdesignr stays engaged –

ensuring that strategic insights translate into real

growth and that clients see tangible returns on their

digital investments.

“Our biggest milestone came

when we launched our AI-powered

diagnostic tool in autumn 2025.

It checks websites for conversion

gaps and generates a report in

under two minutes, giving SMBs

access to insights previously

reserved for agencies charging

thousands.

“Beyond that, we were proud to

have exhibited at The Business

Show in London for the first time in

November 2025, where we spoke

with over 80 businesses looking to

improve their digital performance.

“But our clients’ results are what

we’re most proud of: a UK family

business went from 8-10 enquiries

per week to 12 enquiries per day

on average. A US fintech company

we worked with from day one grew

from zero to over 100,000 active

customers and £14M+ in monthly revenue in two

years!” stated Mihai Diaconita, CEO

& Founder.

Netdesignr’s philosophy is simple:

fix what’s stopping visitors from

becoming customers before spending

more on marketing. Essentially,

Netdesignr give smaller businesses

access to the same thinking big

companies use without the big

budget!

Mihai touched on earlier that one

of the company’s latest developments is a free

AI-powered diagnostic tool that scans a website

and shows SMBs exactly why it isn’t converting

with a report and clear recommendations on how

to fix it. What’s more, it analyses conversion gaps

like trust barriers, weak messaging, unclear value

propositions, poor positioning, navigation issues,

and more, identifying problems that cost businesses

sales every single day.

And, as a bonus service, Netdesignr will also check

if your website is ready for AI search, allowing you to

be where your audience is searching! The result of

this is clear market positioning, better conversions

with your clients, a trusted brand, and an actionable

plan.

Looking ahead, Netdesignr is focused on scaling

its impact while staying true to its foundation-first

philosophy.

“SMBs deserve the same chance to succeed online

as bigger competitors. That’s why we’re focused

on building affordable solutions and constantly

improving our tools making it easy for businesses

to spot problems early and fix them before they lose

sales,” said Mihai.

In a crowded digital marketplace where quick fixes

often mask deeper issues, Netdesignr stands out

by returning to first principles – clarity, strategy

and measurable impact. By demystifying digital

performance and giving small and medium-sized

businesses access to enterprise-level thinking, the

company is helping level the playing field online. As

Netdesignr continues to evolve its tools, expand its

reach and challenge conventional agency models,

its message remains clear: sustainable growth

doesn’t start with more traffic, but with a stronger

foundation.

In closing, Mihai added, “The

way customers find businesses is

changing fast. AI is now part of the

equation. The winners will use AI

wisely while keeping the human side

that makes people trust them. We’re

here to help SMBs succeed starting

with website foundations that stand

the test of time.”

Umm Al Houl Power

plant is a state-of-theart

combined-cycle

power and water

desalination facility

located approximately

15km south of Doha,

Qatar. Inaugurated in

2019, this massive

project plays a crucial

role in meeting Qatar’s

growing energy and water demands.

The plant boasts an electrical generation capacity

of 2,520 megawatts, which accounts for about

30% of Qatar’s total power needs. In addition to

electricity, Umm Al Houl is capable of producing

136.5 million gallons of drinking water per day,

satisfying 40% of the country’s desalinated water

requirements.

Umm Al Houl Power utilises advanced combinedcycle

six Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbines and four

SST5-4000 steam turbines. The plant primarily

runs on natural gas supplied by Qatar Energy. The

six Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbines function

as follows:

● The gas turbines compress incoming air to

high pressure.

● Natural gas fuel is mixed with the compressed

air in the combustion chamber.

● The resulting hot, high-pressure gases expand

through the turbine blades, causing them to

rotate.

● This rotation drives

the electrical

generators,

producing electricity

After the SCR of these

turbines Qatar Energy

inserted multiple ECO

PHYSICS CLD700ELht,

CLD822 and nCLD EL

analysers, integrated

into 19-inch racks inside of multiple airconditioned

cabinets. These

are manufactures by ECO

PHYSICS’ partner Essential

Systems and Solutions (ESS)

Middle East, a local system

integrator in Doha, which has

expanded its business all over

the Middle East.

The ECO PHYSICS

CLD700/800 and nCLD EL(S)

chemiluminescence gas

analysers are designed for

high-precision measurement

of nitrogen oxides (NO,

NO 2 , NO X ) in hot and humid

gas samples. Utilising

chemiluminescence, it detects

light emitted during the

reaction between nitric oxide

and ozone, providing accurate

concentration readings. Its

modular design ensures

reliability and ease of integration into various

applications, including emissions monitoring,

DeNOx plants, and research. With a user-friendly

graphical interface, automatic calibration, and

robust data management, the analyser delivers

rapid and maintenance-free operation across

a detection range of 5ppm to 5,000ppm with a

minimum detectable concentration of 0.12ppm.

The UHP-project is owned and operated by a joint

venture company, with Qatar Electricity and Water

Company (QEWC) holding a 60% stake, K1 Energy

(a consortium of Mitsubishi

Corporation and JERA) owning

30%, and the remaining 10%

split equally between Qatar

Foundation and Qatar Energy.

The plant’s strategic location

allows it to efficiently supply

power and water to Doha, Al

Wakra, and the industrial area,

contributing to Qatar’s overall

development and aligning with

the Qatar National Vision 2030.

In conclusion, Umm Al Houl

Power plant stands for Qatar’s

commitment to modernising its

utilities sector, stable electricity

and water supply for its growing

population and economy.

9 warning signs your manufacturing

company needs ERP

Affordable manufacturing ERP software

is revolutionising the industry by enabling

small manufacturers to streamline their

processes, reduce costs, and increase overall

productivity. But how do you know if your

company is ready to embrace ERP? Here

are some unmistakable warning signs that

indicate it’s time to make the move.

1. Spreadsheets are becoming

unmanageable

Spreadsheets have long been a go-to tool for

managing various aspects of manufacturing,

from inventory tracking to production

scheduling. However, as your company grows,

so does the complexity of your data. When

spreadsheets start to multiply, become errorprone,

and are no longer able to handle the

increasing volume of information efficiently,

it’s a clear sign that you need a more robust

solution.

2. Current software doesn’t fulfill

expectations

If your current inventory management

or accounting software falls short of

meeting your manufacturing needs, it’s a

clear indicator that you should consider

manufacturing ERP software. Inventory

management or accounting software,

while useful for certain tasks, often lacks

the comprehensive features required for

manufacturing operations. They might

struggle to handle raw material inventory

management, complex bills of materials

(BOMs), production scheduling, and an array

of other manufacturing-specific functions.

3. Need to comply with traceability

regulations

In industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and

aerospace, traceability is not just a buzzword

– it’s a regulatory requirement. Tracking the

journey of raw materials, components, and

finished products is essential for safety and

compliance. Manufacturing ERP software like

MRPeasy offers comprehensive traceability,

providing real-time visibility into your supply

chain and ensuring you meet regulatory

standards with ease.

4. Not knowing when products will be ready

Another issue manufacturers constantly

wrestle with before implementing a robust

manufacturing ERP system is production time

estimates. Inaccurate estimates become

especially problematic when items are sold

ahead – if customers do not receive their

purchases within the promised timeframe,

they might find another seller the next time.

ERP software uses data such as supplier

lead times, production cycle times, and

material and labour costs to provide accurate

production time and cost estimates whenever

an order is created.

5. Not knowing your actual production costs

Do you find it challenging to accurately

calculate your production costs? Relying on

estimates or incomplete data can lead to

financial inefficiencies and affect your bottom

line. Manufacturing ERP software such as

MRPeasy includes robust cost accounting

features that allow you to track expenses

throughout the production process. You’ll gain

insights into your actual production costs,

helping you make informed decisions and

improve profitability.

6. Having to manage multiple sites

Expanding your manufacturing operations to

multiple sites can be a great sign of growth.

However, it also brings increased complexity

in coordinating production, inventory, and

resources across different locations. ERP

software centralises data and streamlines

operations, making it easier to manage

multiple sites efficiently.

7. Products are becoming increasingly

complex

As your product portfolio expands or becomes

more intricate, managing it with manual

processes becomes increasingly challenging.

Manufacturing ERP software simplifies the

management of bills of materials (BOMs),

including multi-level BOMs and BOMs with

parameters, and helps you keep track of

components and assemblies, ensuring that

you meet the demands of even the most

complex product lines.

8. You have limited control over your

inventory

Inventory management is a critical aspect

of manufacturing. If you’re constantly facing

issues like overstocking, stockouts, or a lack

of visibility into inventory levels, it’s time to

adopt an ERP system. It provides real-time

inventory tracking and material planning,

ensuring you always have the right amount of

goods on hand.

9. You are looking to scale up

If your company is on the growth path, you

need a system that can scale with you.

ERP software is specifically designed to

accommodate your expanding operations.

Within many systems, functionality can be

rolled out as the need arises, meaning that

you can start from just basic inventory or BOM

management and take on further functionality

when you have grown into it. Choosing

manufacturing ERP software ensures that

your operations can grow seamlessly without

outgrowing your management tools.

ERP leads SMEs to sustainable growth

None of these warning signs should be

ignored. If your company is grappling with

any of these challenges, it’s time to explore

the benefits of ERP. By implementing ERP

software, you can improve efficiency and

reduce costs across the board while priming

your business for sustainable growth. Don’t

wait until these warning signs turn into costly

problems – take action and empower your

manufacturing company with the tools it

needs to thrive.

New White Paper: Why Isolation

Adapters Are Used with Vibration

We’re excited to share our latest White

Paper: ‘Why Isolation Adapters Are

Used with Vibration.’

Hansford Sensors is a leading global

manufacturer of industrial vibration

monitoring equipment. We design, develop

and manufacture a range of high-performance

industrial accelerometers, vibration sensors,

4-20mA transmitters, cable assemblies,

industrial enclosures and ancillary equipment.

Introduction

Vibration sensors are used in a wide variety

of applications to monitor vibrations in

machinery and equipment. This monitoring

is crucial for detecting faults early and

preventing failures. However, in many

industrial environments, vibration sensors

are exposed to harsh conditions that can

affect their performance and accuracy.

The role of isolation adapters

● Protection against electrical

interference: In industrial

environments, electrical interference

can occur, which can distort the

measurement signals from vibration

sensors. Isolation adapters provide

an electrical barrier that reduces

this interference and improves

signal quality.

● Filtering high-frequency vibrations:

In different applications, highfrequency

vibrations that overlap the

frequencies important for diagnostics

and machine monitoring can make

evaluation impossible. Isolation

adapters reliably filter out the highfrequency

components of vibrations.

● Thermal isolation: In some

applications, extreme temperatures

can affect the performance of

vibration sensors. Isolation adapters

with thermal insulation properties

protect the sensors from these

temperature influences.

Conclusion

Isolation adapters are essential

components in many applications that

use vibration sensors. They protect the

sensors from electrical, mechanical,

and thermal influences, enable easy

installation, and contribute to improving

measurement accuracy. By using

isolation adapters, companies can

increase the reliability of their machinery

and equipment and avoid failures.

RUBI UK to showcase cuttingedge

tile and natural stone cutting

solutions at the Executive Hire Show

RUBI UK will appear at the Executive Hire Show,

taking place on February 11th-12th. As a leading

name in professional tile and natural stone

cutting technology, RUBI will present a curated

selection of machines and tools at Stand K41,

with exclusive event-only offers on machines

and consumables. Attendees will be able to see

demonstrations, speak with product specialists,

and learn how RUBI’s innovation translates into

measurable jobsite efficiency and precision.

The Coventry-based show gathers leading hire

suppliers and decision-makers from across the

UK, making it the ideal platform for live demos,

hands-on testing, and expert advice tailored

to demanding commercial tiling applications

nationwide.

A legacy built on innovation

RUBI began in 1951 in Rubí, Catalonia, when the

Boada brothers introduced the pioneering ‘RUBI,

mosaic and tile cutter’. Debuting at the National

Exhibition of Inventions in Barcelona, the tool

received the Diploma of Honour and the Gold

Medal, cementing the

company’s inventive

spirit. In 1969, with

the incorporation of

Miguel Escayol, the

business became the

joint-stock company

Germans Boada SA,

setting the foundation

for international

growth and continued

product development.

Since then, the RUBI

name has become synonymous with cuttingedge

solutions that deliver quality, efficiency, and

professionalism for high-end craftsmen around

the world.

Focused on the professional

Within the RUBI Group, the company specialises

in the design, manufacture, and distribution of

machinery and tools for cutting, placing, and

maintaining tiles. By keeping the installer at

the centre of its strategy, RUBI ensures that

innovation, high product quality, and service

excellence are consistently present across the

portfolio. Today, the RUBI brand is recognised in

more than 120 countries, supported by a strong

network of subsidiaries and branches that serve

the most demanding construction and design

professionals.

RUBI UK: National support and availability

RUBI UK provides coverage across the UK and

Ireland with a team of sales representatives

ready to assist with enquiries and product

selection. The brand supplies major retailers,

independent tiling stores, building merchants

and hire centres, ensuring easy access to the

right tool for every project.

What’s on show at Stand K41?

RUBI UK will present highlights from its range,

including the DCX-250 XPERT 1250 and the

DC-250 SMART ADVANCE, alongside manual

solutions such as the TX-1250 MAX Manual

Cutter and the TC-125

Circular Saw. Visitors

can expect practical

demonstrations and

expert guidance

tailored to real jobsite

challenges.

DCX-250 XPERT

1250: engineered for

intensive performance

RUBI’s DCX-250 XPERT

cutters are designed

for intensive cutting of porcelain tiles including

the ever more popular 20mm, and other ceramic

types, also for cutting a wide variety of natural

stone. The design features a highly reinforced

aluminium chassis with an innovative triple

beam system and steel fronts to enhance overall

stability and rigidity. A cutting carriage travels

along a reinforced aluminium guide to improve

accuracy and finish quality, and the system

incorporates a high-performance plunge system

so users can adjust cutting height to their needs.

The water-cooling system increases cooling

efficiency while reducing water dispersion and

loss, boosting diamond blade performance. An

external water tank

simplifies handling,

cleaning, and refilling,

reducing downtime

between tasks.

DC-250 SMART

ADVANCE: intelligent,

adaptable cutting

The DC-250 SMART

ADVANCE is an electric

saw that automatically

adapts to the demands

of each cut. With intelligent automatic feed

and electronic control, the machine starts

with predefined parameters and dynamically

adjusts motor speed according to the disc and

material, achieving an optimal finish. Four levels

of adjustment let installers prioritise speed or

precision based on the work. The result is more

uniform, higher quality cuts, as if guided by an

expert hand. Automatic adaptation to cutting

resistance improves overall disc performance,

prolonging service life and delaying dulling.

Safety is integral: the integrated protection

system stops the motor immediately if the

blade jams or becomes dull, helping ensure

safe, uninterrupted work. Two operating modes,

MANUAL and AUTOMATIC, support all experience

levels. Manual mode gives full control; Automatic

mode relies on advanced control for consistent

results without constant adjustments. Suitable

for intensive cutting of porcelain tiles including

the ever more popular 20mm, and other ceramic

types, also for cutting a wide variety of natural

stone.

Event-only value

RUBI UK will offer exclusive deals on any

machines purchased on the day, plus a

dedicated offer on consumables. Teams will be

on hand to recommend the right blades, cutters,

and accessories to match specific materials

and applications, ensuring visitors leave with

solutions that deliver immediate value.

RUBI UK invites contractors, hire professionals,

and installers to visit Stand K41 at the Executive

Hire Show on February

11th-12th. Discover

British Sugar partners

with AgriSound

British Sugar, the sole processor

of the UK’s homegrown sugar

beet crop, has announced a

groundbreaking project with leading

agri-tech company AgriSound.

The collaboration sees the

installation of 27 acoustic sensors

at a large farming estate in North

Norfolk. The sensors will remain

in place for a two year period,

recording real-time biodiversity

data, and providing critical insights

into the health of vital pollinator

populations.

At the core of this project lies

AgriSound’s Polly technology

which uses acoustic sensors to

detect & analyse bee & other insect

activity in real-time. This scalable

& automated approach will provide

unprecedented real-time data

on pollinator health to the estate

owner Ali Cargill, British Sugar and

other stakeholders involved in the

collaborative project.

The information gathered will

enable accurate and valueadded

insight into pollinator

activity where sugar beet is part

of the crop rotation. Alongside,

demonstrating whether wildflower

borders, hedgerows and nearby

water sources have any impact on

pollinators over a longer period of

time. This detailed and accurate

information will unveil opportunities

for sustainable land and pest

management activities across the

beet growing area which spans

across the East of England, the

East Midlands and Yorkshire.

The two-year pilot project will run

until 2027.

Gas Detection

Global Gas Control Solu

Driven by over 50 years of expertise and innovation, GCE

delivers precision-engineered solutions for specialty, highpurity,

and ultra-high-purity gas control

GCE, part of ESAB Corporation (NYSE: ESAB),

is a leading global manufacturer of gas

control equipment. The company is driven by

innovation across its brands, including druva ®

and GASARC, and is committed to delivering

the highest quality gas control products and

services.

Its portfolio provides market-compliant,

industry-leading solutions for the medical,

industrial, and specialty gas industries. With

international manufacturing, sales, and supply

capabilities, GCE ensures that customers

worldwide have access to cutting-edge gas

control equipment.

The company’s vast capabilities mean it can

operate across several specialist sectors.

In the industrial field, the company provides

equipment for welding, cutting, heating,

and industrial gas supply systems. Within

healthcare, its medical gas systems support

oxygen therapy, emergency care, hospitals,

and homecare applications. For specialty and

high-purity gases, GCE delivers precision gas

control equipment designed for laboratories,

pharmaceuticals, research, and the

semiconductor industry.

Above all, GCE’s original and core focus is still

industrial gas control equipment. It produces

high-quality industrial regulators, cylinder

valves, centralised gas supply systems, and

flashback arrestors, along with torches and

accessories for welding, cutting, heating, and

similar industrial applications. The company

has also recently acquired DeltaP, in Italy,

enabling GCE to now add Nitrogen Generation

Source Equipment as part of its industrial

portfolio.

An exciting addition

to its portfolio is

the emergence of

FloCloud, GCE’s new

Cloud-based gas

monitoring technology

that is transforming

how industries manage

gas usage.

FloCloud comes

as the result of

GCE’s continuous

commitment and focus

on innovation, safety,

and digitalisation in

gas control solutions.

Michaela Klepetková,

Business Area

Marketing Specialist

explained more.

“FloCloud connects smart gas sensors to a

powerful digital platform, allowing users to

monitor consumption in real time, track

usage trends, and receive instant alerts if

parameters are exceeded or potential

leakages occur. With customisable

notifications, detailed

consumption reports, and

the ability

to set and

track flowrate

limits,

FloCloud

empowers

organisations to build their

own digital gas system tailored to

their needs.

“With FloCloud,

GCE is combining

its expertise in gas

control with the power

of digitalisation to

deliver smarter, safer,

and more sustainable

solutions.”

FloCloud is an

innovative digital

solution, enabling

customers to take

control of their

gas consumption.

Designed to help

welders, fabricators,

gas companies, and

other gas consuming

organisations,

FloCloud allows for a

better understanding

of gas consumption and helps to reduce costs

through data analytics.

GCE’s digital

solutions provides

powerful gas

consumption

reports

through

easy-to-use

dashboards

that deliver

actionable

insights

from systemwide

usage

analysis. Users

can set and track

flow-rate limits to

ensure gas parameters

remain within the specified

range, with real-time alerts triggered if

issues arise. What’s more, customisable

notifications can also be sent instantly via app,

email, or phone, keeping users informed at all

times.

The platform also allows the creation of virtual

gas manifold systems for real-time tracking

and accurate data analysis. Designed as an

excellent tool for both distributors and end

users, it enables process optimisation and cost

reduction with simplicity and efficiency.

FloCloud includes a combination of robust,

battery-powered sensors that digitally tracks

the pressure, temperature, consumption and

gas flow from the manifold to the point of use,

then automatically communicates this data

via wireless technology. The software sends

all the information directly to the cloud, which

20


Gas Detection

tions

can then be accessed via a computer, tablet or

other mobile device. Because the information

is transmitted directly from the end points,

there is no chance for misinformation or need

to manually check data. FloCloud’s easy-to-use

dashboard and reporting system tracks every

end user point and sends notifications if gas

pressure drops (indicating a potential leak) or

if the flow is outside the process parameters

(such as weld procedure specification).

“FloCloud has helped large end-users save

more than €1 million in gas spend by detecting

leaks and stopping over-consumption,” says Dr

Küster, Director Spec Gas Equipment, GCE. “By

tracking gas consumption in real-time, cylinder

swap-out can be planned, uptime is improved

and gas use per station is easily documented

for QA and cost tracking purposes.”

Now under the umbrella of ESAB Corporation,

GCE has recently

expanded its global

presence through

strategic acquisitions

in the medical

gas sector: Aktiv

Technologies (India)

and Delta P Gas

Equipment (Italy).

These acquisitions,

along with previous

ones such as Ohio ®

Medical and Therapy

Equipment, strengthen

GCE Medical’s position

as a global leader in

medical gas solutions.

“The expanded

portfolio now includes

a comprehensive range of products and

services, from central

gas pipeline systems

to homecare oxygen

solutions, all adhering

to critical safety and

regulatory standards.

“As we continue to

focus on growth,

innovation, and

sustainability across

our divisions, GCE

plans to continue

expanding our

specialised divisions,

introduce more

digital solutions like

FloCloud, strengthen

partnerships with distributors, enhance

our online services, and pursue ambitious

sustainability goals to reduce our

environmental impact.

“In addition to our global operations and

innovative product portfolio, GCE actively

participates in international trade fairs and

industry exhibitions to showcase our latest

solutions in industrial, medical, and high-purity

gas technologies. Anyone can meet our experts

here and see our latest portfolio. In the near
