A third-generation family business, De La Fontaine is recognized for its expertise in the design and manufacture of steel doors and frames. Its products are installed in iconic locations such as the Montreal airport, the Pentagon, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, making it a reference player in North America.

De La Fontaine faced growing demand, but its welding machines were only running at 20–25% of their capacity. This under-utilization led to a drop in productivity and led to the belief that a costly investment in new equipment was necessary, while significant untapped potential remained on the production floor.

With K2 App, De La Fontaine's welding machines were integrated into an industrial connectivity platform that centralizes production data in real-time. Key indicators such as utilization, downtime, and efficiency are automatically transformed into actionable information. Thanks to an intuitive interface, management, supervisors, and operators can access essential data to optimize processes, reduce costs, and support growth without additional investment in equipment.
