Manufacturing Data & Analytics Systems
Design and deployment of dashboards and data pipelines that pull scrap rates, cycle times, and machine downtime from cutting, folding, welding, and layup stations into a single view for production managers.
Industrial IT & Research Consultancy
Engineering intelligence for metal and composite manufacturing.
Analytica UK Ltd combines applied research with practical software and data engineering to help sheet metal, metal fabrication, and composite manufacturers make better decisions, cut waste, and bring products to market faster.
About Analytica UK
Where fabrication expertise meets data and software engineering.
Analytica UK Ltd is a London-based consultancy serving manufacturers who work in sheet metal, structural and precision metal fabrication, and composite part production. We sit at the intersection of two disciplines that are usually kept apart: industrial IT systems and applied engineering research.
That combination means we don't just recommend software — we understand the forming tolerances, cure cycles, and welding parameters the software has to represent. And we don't just run lab tests — we know how to turn research findings into production-ready systems, dashboards, and documented processes your team will actually use.
We work directly with engineering, quality, and operations teams on fixed-scope studies or ongoing retained support, sized to fit workshops and mid-size manufacturers rather than only enterprise budgets.

What We Do
IT and research services built for fabrication businesses.
IT Services for Manufacturing
ERP & MES Integration
Connecting shop-floor equipment and quality systems to ERP/MES platforms so job costing, material traceability, and production scheduling stay synchronised without manual re-entry.
Digital Twin & Simulation Tooling
Building simulation and visualisation tools for sheet metal forming and composite layup sequences, letting engineers trial die designs or ply schedules before committing material.
Quality Data Management
Systems for capturing inspection results, non-conformance reports, and coupon test data, with traceability back to batch, operator, and machine for audits and root-cause analysis.
Production Tracking Software
Custom-built tracking tools for job routing through cutting, bending, welding, finishing, and composite curing stages, replacing spreadsheets and whiteboards with live status data.
Industrial Network & OT Security
Security assessments and hardening for the networks linking CNC machines, PLCs, and autoclaves to the wider IT environment, reducing exposure without disrupting production.
Research & Engineering Services
Material & Process Research
Investigating forming behaviour, springback, and joint performance for sheet metal, including welding and mechanical fastening trade-off studies for specific alloys and gauges.
Composite Layup & Cure Studies
Process research into layup sequencing, resin infusion, and cure cycle optimisation for composite parts, targeting reduced void content and more consistent mechanical properties.
Failure Analysis & Testing
Root-cause investigation of cracked welds, delaminated composite panels, or fatigue failures in fabricated assemblies, combining physical testing with fractographic and data review.
Design for Manufacture (DFM) Studies
Reviewing part designs against fabrication capability — bend radii, tooling access, ply drop-offs — to flag manufacturability issues before parts reach the shop floor.
Prototype Development & Validation
Supporting first-article builds for metal and composite parts, with structured validation plans covering dimensional, mechanical, and process-repeatability checks.
Standards & Compliance Research
Applied research into relevant fabrication and materials standards (e.g. welding, structural steelwork, aerospace composite requirements) to support certification and customer audits.
Industries We Serve
Deep, hands-on experience across three fabrication disciplines.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Laser and plasma cutting, CNC punching, press brake forming, and spot/MIG/TIG welding lines. We support tolerance and springback studies, nesting and material-utilisation analysis, and production data capture across cutting and forming cells.
Metal Fabrication
Structural steelwork, weldments, and precision machined assemblies. Our work spans weld procedure research, jig and fixture data logging, and integration of fabrication scheduling with ERP systems for multi-stage assemblies.
Composite Fabrication
Hand layup, vacuum infusion, and autoclave-cured components. We investigate cure kinetics and tooling thermal profiles, and build quality traceability systems linking batch, autoclave run, and non-destructive inspection results.
How We Work
A structured path from problem to production.
01
Consult
An on-site or remote scoping session on your shop floor to map the specific process, data, or quality problem, and agree measurable outcomes for the engagement.
02
Research
Targeted testing, data collection, or process analysis — from coupon tests to machine data audits — producing a written findings report with clear recommendations.
03
Implement
Building and deploying the resulting software, dashboard, or revised process documentation, with your team involved throughout so it fits real shop-floor conditions.
04
Support
Post-deployment monitoring, refinement, and a documented handover, with optional retained support for further research or system changes as your production evolves.
