Aluminium Manufacturing Operations Modernised with System-Led Tracking and Faster Dispatch

Without replacing existing systems, Radiant Anodisers modernized how work moved across the factory floor. System-led tracking, digital quality checks, and guided dispatch workflows replaced manual coordination with real-time operational control.

Challenges

Radiant Anodisers operates in a high-volume aluminium manufacturing environment where hundreds of profiles, glass units, accessories, and finished goods move across production, quality, warehousing, and dispatch – every single day.

As the business scaled, operational complexity grew faster than visibility. What once worked through experience, manual coordination, and informal checks began to strain under volume. Teams continued to deliver quality output, but leadership lacked real-time clarity on what was where, what was approved, and what was ready to move.

The risk wasn’t on the shop floor. It was in lost visibility, delayed decisions, and preventable operational errors as throughput increased.

As volumes increased, gaps across manufacturing and warehouse operations became harder to ignore.

  • Profiles, glass, accessories, and handling equipment moved without digital identification, making traceability difficult
  • Glass receiving and quality checks were manual, increasing dependency on individuals rather than systems
  • Trolleys, bins, and warehouse zones were not system-labelled, slowing movement and storage decisions
  • Picking relied on experience instead of guided workflows, affecting speed and accuracy
  • Quality inspections were paper-based and fragmented across stages
  • Dispatch errors resulted in customer escalations and rework
  • Daily reconciliation involved cross-checking ERP data, Excel sheets, and WhatsApp messages, yet still failed to deliver one reliable operational view

Leadership faced a familiar problem: Strong production capability, but limited operational control at scale.

Solutions

XAAS Genie implemented Zoho Creator Enterprise Edition, supported by Zoho Analytics, to act as a unified operational layer across manufacturing and warehouse workflows.

Instead of replacing existing systems, the solution connected them—digitising how work actually moved across the factory and warehouse.

The implementation covered the full operational lifecycle:

  • QR-based identification for profiles, glass, accessories, trolleys, and bins
  • End-to-end tracking from profile identification and glass mapping through assembly, finished goods storage, and dispatch
  • API-based integration with existing ERP and design software
  • Automatic synchronisation of Production Orders, GRNs, and Sales Orders
  • Digitised quality checks at every production stage
  • FIFO-driven guided picking to reduce errors and delays
  • System-led packing and dispatch workflows
  • Customer delivery application with photo capture and geo-coordinates
  • Digital stock reconciliation and internal material movement tracking
  • Real-time Zoho Analytics dashboards covering production, quality, FG, and dispatch KPIs

Results

The shift from manual coordination to system-led execution delivered immediate and visible results:

  • Complete traceability across profiles, fitments, movements, and deliveries
  • Reduction in dispatch errors and customer escalations
  • Faster, more predictable picking and dispatch cycles
  • Elimination of manual reconciliation across multiple tools
  • One consistent, real-time view of production, stock, quality, and dispatch
  • Greater confidence for operations and leadership teams when making decisions
Radiant Anodisers did not change how it manufactures. It strengthened how operations are controlled, tracked, and scaled, creating a more resilient and future-ready manufacturing environment.
