Software for Pipe Spool Production
An automated pipe-shop needs automating software, which is why we have developed a range of dedicated software that streamlines and optimizes the workflow, and enables you to control your pipe-shop and your fabrication. The scope of our framework covers everything from P&ID, scheduling and material management to generating CNC data, process monitoring, QA/QC, and more.
Iso Builder
Engineering, Design & Drawings
Creation/import of line/spool drawings
Automatic splitting of line drawings into spools
Automatic exchange of elbows with cost-saving bends
Maximization of automatic welds
Automatic generation of reports (dia inch, BOM, worksheets)
RAMP
Fabrication, Production Control & Material Tracking
Production planning and monitoring
Material management
Scheduling of production
Workload balancing
Reporting of production/history data
Tracking of spools until installation
Generation and transmission of CNC data
Joint Check
QA/QC & Quality Tracking
Tracking of fit-up/welding information
Information forwarding to 3rd party systems
Available as web-based or client-based application
Support for typical QA/QC mandatory information
Automatic generation of QA/QC reports
Automatic generation of performance reports
Production Control
The best pipe-shop design and the best machines in the world still require a software system to control their interaction. A machine for hundreds of thousands of Euros should never have to wait for material, but neither should it have to wait for the operator to calculate the data he needs to enter, so the machine can process the pipe.
In addition it is important to ensure that the material for each day’s work order is available, and that the overall fabrication scheduling is optimized. Spools that are required for installation at an earlier date need to be prioritized over spools that will be installed later, and would take up valuable space for interim storage.
The 3R software is designed to support the entire process chain, from initial design and planning to final reporting, with full traceability of all workshop processes. In addition it provides all data for the CNC machines, as well as digital worksheets for the fitters and welders, cutting lists, bills of material, bending and welding data, and a testing plan for non-destructive testing.
All data is stored in a centralized database, which is updated in real time whenever a worker finishes a task, giving constant, up-to-date status information for all spools and machines.

Additional Software
While IsoBuilder, RAMP and Joint Check make up the core of our software framework, we offer more applications that improve pipe spool fabrication. These also work in conjunction with the main framework.
