As the business grew over the years, technology has improved, and procedures have changed. There was the need to install high speed doors on some of the exterior openings to the production facility to help prevent ingress of pests as well as controlling the ambient temperature of the facility. The company selected a door that, at the time they believed would be perfect for them, from a company that they could rely on. Unfortunately, previously this was not the case as they were being let down by the response times they were receiving, as well as the ongoing maintenance costs of the doors. The decision was made to trial a door from Klimate, which is a trading division of BID Group. Blue Diamond Expands Storage and Distribution Capability Blue Diamond Technologies of Southampton, designers and manufacturers of custom-made mechanical components, has expanded its storage and distribution capability with the purchase of a new 1250 sq metre warehousing facility just along the road from the company’s existing headquarters. Whilst previously all Blue Diamond operations had been housed under one roof, the additional space will allow even greater efficiency in the storage and distribution of the Company’s specialist products and will be particularly helpful as regards time-critical delivery arrangements such as Just-in-time (JIT) and KANBAN.

The reusable modular components used to create an Info Cube are available in a variety of durable materials and colours so that users can devise robust and visually appealing designs that match corporate styles. Info Cube is ideal for visual management applications as well as retail displays, signage, promotions, temporary exhibitions and other settings where an impact is needed. This new door proved to be a much better solution than the previously purchased doors and as such in the following seven months a further eight doors were specified, ordered and installed taking the total number of Klimate doors on site to nine with an additional one outstanding. The simplest Info Cube is built using interchangeable and reusable lengths of steel or aluminium tube and composite brackets. Whiteboards, noticeboards, leaflet dispensers, screens and similar flat items can be mounted into the frame to complete the Info Cube. Wheels or castors can be added to make mobile structures.
