Growing smarter, not just bigger.
Growing smarter, not just bigger.
Landscape Forms is a leading manufacturer of high-design site furniture, lighting, and structures for public spaces. After roughly doubling revenue every seven years, the company had reached approximately $300 million in annual revenue.

Its next stage of growth demanded a different playbook. Instead of relying primarily on new production capacity, Landscape Forms needed to improve utilization, reduce unplanned downtime, tighten process control, and make better decisions using data from its existing assets.

Leadership had already mapped out an ambitious automation roadmap: CNC observability, forklift safety analytics, environmental monitoring, autonomous mobile robot (AMR) evaluation, and powder coating line integration.

But each initiative had its own vendors, budgets, and timelines. Traditional integration risked turning the roadmap into years of sequential projects — all while production had to continue uninterrupted.

SOLUTION
One integration layer for the entire factory.
One integration layer for the entire factory.
Conduit retrofitted existing equipment with edge devices and connected data from FANUC CNC controllers, powder coating line PLCs, forklift RTLS units, and environmental sensors. Rather than treating every initiative as a standalone integration, the team brought them together on a single platform — without production downtime.

MONTHS 01 - 03
Prove what’s possible.
Conduit's forward-deployed engineers moved at software speed during the initial pilot.
MONTHS 04 - 09
Turn data into daily decisions.
With connectivity established, Conduit focused on operational adoption and measurable production impact.
RESULTS
Connected systems. Tangible operational progress.
Conduit helped Landscape Forms accelerate its multi-year automation roadmap by an estimated 1.5 years, delivering five interconnected workstreams in just nine months with zero production downtime. Real-time CNC monitoring contributed to a 30% relative improvement in program execution time and a 46% reduction in machine alarms, giving manufacturing teams greater visibility into equipment performance and operational efficiency.

Beyond CNC observability, Conduit introduced real-time forklift tracking, environmental monitoring, autonomous mobile robot trials, and powder coating line integration. Together, these initiatives transformed fragmented operational data into actionable insights, helping Landscape Forms improve decision-making, empower shop-floor teams, and move toward a smarter, more connected manufacturing operation.
