CASE STUDY


Oakwrights: Enhancing Manufacturing Efficiency with a Modern Compressed Air Solution.

Company Background

Oakwrights is a specialist oak timber framing company with 26 years of experience producing premium oak frame structures. For the past 15 years, they have also manufactured their own pre-fabricated wall and roof panels, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to deliver high-quality, sustainable construction solutions.

The Need for Change

Their previous compressor failed, making replacement essential. Even before this, Oakwrights had been exploring a more efficient, reliable model that could support expanding production demands. Because compressed air powers their CNC machinery, any downtime directly impacts manufacturing output.

Ambitious Targets and Objectives

Oakwrights aimed to improve energy efficiency, reduce power costs, and install a system capable of meeting both current and future air requirements. They required a dependable solution that would support their CNC operations and provide long-term value.

Driving the Need for Efficiency

Oakwrights set out to upgrade to a modern, efficient compressed air system that would reduce energy consumption, support reliable operation of their CNC machinery, and provide capacity for future growth. A key goal was to achieve meaningful reductions in running costs, and based on the improved efficiency of the new system, Oakwrights estimates energy savings of over £5,000 per year.

Compressed Air - A Vital Utility

Compressed air is critical to Oakwrights' operations. Their CNC machines cannot function without it, meaning production relies entirely on a consistent and high-quality air supply.

Identifying Solutions by Consulting the Experts

FNA UK completed data logging to measure the site's air demand, providing clear and useful insights into current and future needs. This gave Oakwrights confidence in selecting the correct system.


Working with Good Partners

Oakwrights had a very positive experience with FNA UK. Installation was quick, efficient, and professionally managed, with the team accommodating their needs throughout.

The Proof is in the Results

The new compressor is quieter, more efficient, and simple to operate. Its modern design fits well within the workshop and has improved daily operations while lowering energy use.
