Software workarounds have a funny way of becoming “standard operating procedure.”

The spreadsheet everyone relies on.
The manual check “just to be safe.”
The production update that still happens verbally because it’s easier.

At some point, the workaround becomes the workflow.

And that’s usually when software stops supporting the business and starts slowing it down.

At GFAB 2026 this June, A+W will be talking with fabricators and manufacturers about connected production, real time visibility, and smarter automation across the shop floor.

If your operation has outgrown spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or “temporary fixes,” come see how A+W Software
and A+W Smart Factory are helping manufacturers create smoother, more connected operations.

Let’s talk at GFAB!

What does AI actually mean for your glass fabrication business? Our own Josh Rudd joined Katy Devlin and Sara Neiswanger on the NGA's Glass Cast Podcast to break it down -- from Order Entry AY powered by Mira to A+W Smart Factory automation on the shop floor. Topics include how Mira reduces order queue times and errors, what a true pull system looks like in a fully automated IG environment, and why AI gives your best people more capacity to do what they do best. No hype, just practical insight from inside the industry.

How many workarounds does it take before your system isn’t working anymore?

One spreadsheet turns into five.
“One quick fix” becomes part of the process.
And somehow… everyone just works around the system.

Until one day you realize: Your software isn’t supporting your business anymore — it’s slowing it down.

We’ve talked to thousands of fabricators and window and door manufacturers, and this is where it starts.

Join us at GFAB in Chicago, IL, for a 5-minute discussion about A+W's Smart Factory solution.

Precision doesn’t happen by accident.

In our latest customer testimonial, Kensington Glass Arts (KGa) shares how structure, process, and real-time visibility help them protect architectural intent from order entry through fabrication. It’s a look inside how a fabricator known for complex architectural glass keeps teams aligned, jobs moving, and customers supported — even when timelines are tight.

This story highlights how A+W Business and A+W Production help connect the office to the shop floor, reduce guesswork, and support the kind of discipline that precision work demands.
