CeDo Recycling B.V. are located in Geleen, The Netherlands.  The company processes plastic waste bales into pellets for export to CeDo manufacturing plants where they are turned into consumer products.  MTAS has designed, developed and installed a new production system used in the plant and at external storage providers to record incoming waste material and usage.  The system provides for deliveries, transfers and adjustments of stock, maintaining accurate stock level records.  MTAS developed handheld software used in the plant to record waste usage (in weight, value and supplier terms) as each bale is consumed on a production line.  The system compares bale consumption against yields, providing analyses by supplier, material type and line. 

CeDo, employ over 2,000 people across Europe and Asia operating from 4 different manufacturing sites and 5 regional sales offices. 

CeDo's products are sold by retailers under their own private labels as well as CeDo brands including PolyLina®, Paclan®, Nappy Sacks™, Pop-ins™, Landsaver®, Big Green Rubbish bag and Saved from Landfill. CeDo household products including food and freezer bags, cling films, aluminium foil, bin liners, refuse sacks, hygiene disposal and bio-degradable bags are used by millions of people on a daily basis.

CeDo uses the UltraSys maintenance system and contracted MTAS to support and provide further developments. MTAS has built and installed a Fault Reporting System (FRS) using barcode readers throughout the shopfloor which record production stoppages and all maintenance activities using single swipes.  The system automatically emails maintenance teams when a stoppage occurs, notifies management when stoppages require escalation, and formulates and despatches reports at each change of shift.

The plant at Kitts Green, Birmingham is part of ARCONIC European Mill Products and manufactures aluminium sheet and plate for a variety of customers; the most notable being Airbus. The plant runs a large and very sophisticated operation, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. The equipment is complicated, expensive to operate and maintain, and is run to optimum conditions. To ensure that the plant is properly, timely and safely maintained, the Company uses the UltraSys Maintenance System and has contracted MTAS to ensure that the system functions correctly and is supported properly.  MTAS has recently been engaged to design and develop a new system to automatically generate and despatch the 1200+ weekly planned maintenance dockets to the maintenance teams, and provide handheld software to allow the teams to report on these acivities.

Marylebone Cricket Club, the World’s most famous cricket club, was founded in 1787 at Dorset Square by a local cricketer and wine merchant, Thomas Lord. The club has moved twice since then but from 1814 it has been located in the Lord’s cricket ground in St. John’s Wood. The MCC has 18,000 members, 5000 associate members and a waiting list to join the club of 23 years. The ground is probably the largest in the U.K. and is capable of holding 28,500 supporters. The club plays around 500 matches a year and hosts numerous events.

From the estates manager’s perspective, this is a complex site that must be kept in optimum condition so as to not only retain the clubs fine reputation by ensuring that everything is properly operation but also is maintained to the highest levels of public safety. For example, a multi million pound project was launched in 2005 to restore the Pavilion (a listed building) to pristine condition. The estates department uses the UltraSys Facilities Management system to help support this function and MTAS to support the system. UltraSys provides facts and figures across the operation, from maintenance to finance, so that managers can take engineering and business decisions secure in the knowledge that the information provided is accurate, relevant and timely.
