StugaConnect and StürtzCloud set new benchmark for factory visibility

Stuga Machinery is finalising a new dual-platform dashboard system, developed to give fabricators unprecedented visibility over production performance.

Following overwhelmingly positive industry feedback during demonstrations at FIT Show 2025, the system will soon be rolled out to UK customers – with one major fabricator signed up to install the platform in the summer, and several in discussions to adopt the technology to follow. And one comment has been heard on repeat: “No one else is doing this.”

Stuga’s Technical Director Gareth Green says the system stands apart from generic dashboards by being “purpose-built for fenestration, simple to use, and capable of showing exactly where efficiency gains can be made.”

The launch includes two complementary platforms:

  • StugaConnect – a customer portal that gives users full access to machine-specific documentation, service history, order tracking and maintenance schedules for their Stuga and Stürtz equipment.
  • StürtzCloud – a UK-first and fenestration-centric live production dashboard. It captures machine-level data in real time, tracking downtime, fault trends and throughput against targets – all displayed clearly through an intuitive visual interface.

“We’re giving fabricators a clear line of sight to what’s holding back performance,” Gareth explains. “If a recurring fault is costing you an hour of output every day, the system flags it immediately. That’s a tangible gain that can be acted on right away.”

Unlike traditional dashboards, StürtzCloud is tailored specifically to window and door production lines. It factors in shift patterns, break times and expected cycle times, making it easier for fabricators to track Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) without specialist support.

The system is designed to be accessible for all users – from production managers to line operators – and doesn’t require in-house IT teams to configure or manage.

“There are other systems out there, but most are overly complex or not designed for this industry,” Gareth adds. “This is ready-made for fabricators. It’s fast to implement, easy to understand and delivers immediate operational value.”

Beyond helping individual businesses, aggregated data from across the network will also support Stuga and Stürtz in refining machine design and aftersales support based on real-world performance.

“It’s not just about reducing downtime – it’s about raising the standard of machinery performance across the entire industry,” Gareth says.
