Aircraft facility expands

6th February 2020 10:19 am

CFS Aero, an aircraft overhaul and repair facility in Warwick, has moved to a larger building.

After receiving a seven-figure investment from Frontier Development Capital (FDC) and Warwick District Council, the company moved to a new unit, including factory space, Wedgnock Industrial Estate. The entire 40-strong workforce was included in the move.

The move enables the company to extend their services to include another engine type, as well as contiuining their existing servicing and repairing of ‘off-wing’ aircraft engines. Their new facilities should allow them to repair and overhaul more than 100 turbine engines each year.

Chairman Jon Freedman said: “We were delighted to welcome our suppliers, partners and clients to our official launch event and to enjoy the celebrations as we mark an exciting new chapter in CFS Aero’s history.

“We’d like to say a huge thank you to all those who have offered their unwavering support on this journey, as we look ahead to the future of the business as it continues to go from strength-to-strength.”

Graham Mold, head of growth capital at FDC, added: “FDC’s investment aims to provide CFS Aero with the backing it needs to continue to build on its success and expand capabilities to service new engines.

“In its newly refurbished and bespoke facility in Warwick, CFS Aero will be able to continue to use its expertise to develop a world-class service for the next generation of aircraft and we look forward to seeing the firm reach new heights.”

Factories and production facilities have been using clocking in and out to monitor and measure their employees’ hours for payroll pretty much since the start of mass production. The first time-recording machine was invented in 1888!

However, there is still plenty of room for many factories to modernise their time and attendance systems in order to maximise efficiency and minimise errors.

Some companies are still using very old-fashioned methods such as swipe cards or punch cards, or very basic fingerprint clocking machines which don’t link to any sort of central system. Depending on the company’s requirements, we can offer three alternatives.

Firstly, if they would like to keep using cards to record their time and attendance in order to disrupt the workforce as little as possible, then we can offer the company our contactless proximity smartcards.

The contactless clocking technique means that the card doesn’t suffer from wear and tear and doesn’t need a battery.

We are experts in systems integration, so it may even be possible for companies to keep any existing radio-frequency cards and use them on our system.

The second option is fingerprint scanning. This is useful for factories who require high-security, high-certainty access control and attendance management. For example, companies which have had problems with people losing their cards, or with people deliberately swapping cards and clocking in for each other.

The hand geometry scanner is often preferred in situations where workers might end up with very dirty fingers, like a construction site or a kitchen, thus rendering fingerprints not as useful.
