FEBRUARY 2025 Ironworks has made significant investments in machinery and automation. Their factory is equipped with the latest CNC equipment, allowing them to manufacture steel components with precision and speed. “We’re constantly updating our equipment to stay competitive,” Thomas explains. “We want to make sure we’re using the best tools available to deliver high-quality work on time.” One of the most exciting technological innovations being explored at Whitemud Ironworks is the use of augmented reality (AR) for quality control. The company recently began using AR headsets in their fabrication process, allowing workers to perform real-time inspections on steel components. Using the AR system, workers can overlay a digital model onto the physical component, helping them identify any discrepancies before the piece moves to the next stage. “The use of augmented reality in our quality control process is a gamechanger,” Thomas says. “It allows us to pinpoint discrepancies in real-time, ensuring our work is up to the highest standard before it even leaves the factory.” Looking ahead, Whitemud Ironworks plans to continue expanding their market presence and embracing new technologies. “We’re always pushing forward,” says Thomas. “Whether it’s investing in new equipment, adopting new technology, or exploring new markets, we’re committed to evolving and delivering the best possible service to our clients.” Whitemud Ironworks’ journey from a small-town business to a regional powerhouse is a testament to their commitment to quality, innovation, and the people who make it all possible. The company remains deeply connected to their roots, ensuring that every project, no matter how large or small, reflects the values that have guided Whitemud Ironworks from day one.
