FibreLINE
FibreLINE represents a transformative approach to composite aerostructure manufacturing, offering a true step change for the industry. It is an end-to-end automated preforming system that integrates Zünd’s custom-engineered Q-Line cutter with some of the world’s largest industrial robots. This modular adaptation of the Q-Line cutter provides a scalable, future-proof solution designed to meet the growing demands of the aerospace sector. FibreLINE delivers faster cutting speeds while significantly reducing stray fibers—a common challenge in composite manufacturing. Its benefits extend beyond precision, offering a marked reduction in factory footprint and logistical complexity. The system also streamlines downstream assembly, saving both time and resources. By dramatically increasing material deposition rates, FibreLINE allows manufacturers to operate using a single set of mould tools and tolerances, while still achieving next-generation production targets. This approach reduces the need for shimming and simplifies assembly compared with traditional AFP methods, which require multiple sets of mould tools to match FibreLINE'S production rate. In essence, FibreLINE enables faster, cleaner, and more efficient composite manufacturing, helping aerospace manufacturers meet evolving industry demands with less complexity and greater productivity.

Finishing Options

Finixa One-Step Polish
Based on nanotechnology, this water based paste can polish not only very fast from coarse to very fine, but it also brings back a gloss degree of 95%. An additional advantage is that this paste stays “wet ” for a long time and it minimizes the risk for dry powder residue. This polish paste can be used on old paints and fresh paints, also on all 2K products and the newest generation of ceramic paints.

Fitfactory MES - Manufacturing Execution System
Fitfactory’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a next-generation solution that brings machine monitoring, advanced production scheduling, and shop floor data capture into a single, unified application—or can be deployed module-by-module to suit organisational needs. This MES delivers full operational visibility and control by automating data sync, real-time work-in-progress tracking, and comprehensive audit traceability. The result: reduced waste, improved delivery performance, and increased capacity, all without the need for new machinery. The system operates seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and tablet platforms and connects effortlessly with ERP/MRP systems via open API integration. At its core is Machine Monitoring, which tracks machine status and performance in real time. A digital shop-floor layout with colour-coded indicators (green for running, red for idle/off, grey for no data) gives at-a-glance insight, while instant alerts and reason-coded downtime notifications drive prompt action and predictive maintenance. The Production Scheduler module enables intelligent, constraint-aware job sequencing, prioritising production based on capacity, resource availability, and order commitments to optimise delivery performance, minimise bottlenecks, and boost throughput. The Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) module connects operators to the system, delivering job instructions, drawings, and tooling or quality requirements in real time. It captures labour data—clocking in/out, planned vs actual times, WIP updates—ensuring traceability and enabling managers to track progress immediately and accurately. Fitfactory’s MES offers a powerful combination: a single app delivering enhanced machine uptime, smarter scheduling, and digitalised shop-floor operations. With easy deployment, mobile accessibility, and seamless integration, it equips SMEs to run leaner, smarter, and more responsive factories.
