Software Framework An automated pipe shop needs automating software
Three main applications for different tasks IsoBuilder RAMP JointCheck Engineering, drawings Fabrication, production control QA / QC, quality tracking
Line and spool drawings etc. Line and spool drawings IsoBuilder Material & symbol database Production data etc. Material warehousing Notification ERP Systems RAMP JointCheck QA / QC Systems Scheduling Control Feedback QC Feedback Pipe Shop

Key features Creation / import of line or spool drawings Import via 3rd party programs: e.g. Aveva, Catia, Intergraph, Nupas Cadmatic, NX, etc. Automatic splitting of line drawings into spools Automatic exchange of elbows with cost-saving bends Maximization of automatic welds, minimization of manual welds Automatic generation of reports: Dia Inch, bill of materials, worksheets
Automatic spool splitting based on customer specifications (Pipe length, box size, wall penetrations, etc.)
Automatic or manual welding of every individual seam Based on available machines in the pipeshop
Weld seams are optimized to increase automatic welds & minimize manual welds Operator can toggle between field/shop welds & manual/automatic welds afterwards
Elbows can be automatically turned into machine bends (where applicable) The amount of welds gets reduced
Worksheets for lines and spools can be generated as AutoCAD DXF or PDF
Pipes, fittings and materials can be listed in part lists
Dia-Inch Reports for shop welds, field welds and installation welds

Key features Production planning and monitoring software Management of material Scheduling of production Balancing of workload on workstations Reporting of production data Reporting of history data Tracking of spools until installation Generation of CNC cutting and bending data
Material management Management of project stock and heat numbers Synchronization with external material management systems possible
Packaging / Scheduling Automatic or manual selection of spools for next day/week production Support of production management (holding, stock selection, setting of end dates) Automatic calculation of required material Material availability checks Calculation of fabrication time Balancing workload of machines
Packaging / Scheduling Start and end dates of spools can be set manually or synchronized with an ERP scheduling system
Scheduling / Balancing Without Balancing Uneven workload distribution Available capacities remain unused Workload Too little Optimum Too much
Scheduling / Balancing Workload report in planning phase Automatic balancing of workload
Scheduling / Balancing With Balancing Increased efficiency and productivity Optimized use of available capacities and times Workload Too little Optimum Too much
Package monitoring Live-Monitoring of current spool states and progress of production
Package monitoring Editable working time table for spool production time estimation Updated automatically by workstep time measuring at workstations
Package monitoring Adjust the machine state (online/offline) for production time calculations
Cutting app Software assisting the band saw and flame cutting workstations Automatic CNC data conversion and transfer to machine
Bending app Software assisting the bending process with feasibility checks Automatic CNC data conversion and transfer to machine
Fit-up / welding app Software assisting the automatic and manual fit-up stations Operators can rotate the spool in 3D via touchscreen
Basketing / after shop tracking Basketing of spools for transport optimization After shop tracking for quick access to stored spools
3D spool state tracking Live state monitoring of spool state by color
