Metal Processing and Cold Forming streamlined with Wisej.NET

Since its founding in 1938, Fischer & Kaufmann GmbH & Co. KG (FIUKA) has been at the forefront of innovation. From acquiring the first automatic forming machine to pioneering cold-forming solutions, the company has consistently embraced progress.

FIUKA collaborates with leading automotive brands, providing essential metal forming for components like chassis and engine parts. The company defines the cutting edge of servo press technology to produce complex components. In short, FIUKA drives the future of manufacturing.
Confronted with the need for a web-based solution, FIUKA decided to upgrade. They had developed several internal software applications with data spanning almost a century — the primary goal to enhance operational efficiency. To achieve this, FIUKA began exploring the best tools. After reading about our modernization efforts in Germany‘s DotNetPro magazine and building their front end with Angular, Wisej.NET seemed perfect.

Centralizing data within web applications can improve data recording, evaluation, and integration with other systems. We‘re designing user interfaces to be intuitive and easy for all employees
