Production tracking

Steel fabrication production tracking, from cutting to handover.

Give the office and workshop a shared view of each job. See the next machine stage, who has the assembly and which completed quantities have been approved.

01

See the stage still required

Keep progress for each configured physical machine. A cut part can still have drilling or rolling outstanding.

02

Make the handover visible

Allocate assembly quantities to boilermakers and welders. The boilermaker can see the saved welding allocation on the work line.

03

Separate submitted and approved

Workers submit completed quantities. Authorised reviewers check the work before it contributes to approved workshop output.

A PRACTICAL WORKFLOW

One job, from the reviewed list to recorded workshop output.

  1. 01

    Bring the job information together

    Review a supported KSS + PDF project ZIP or a mapped Excel list. An optional matching phase IFC links assembly model references beside the issued drawings.

  2. 02

    Confirm the machine route

    Review cutting, drilling and rolling against the issued drawing and saved machine setup. Use the Gantt to plan separate machine stages, then review and save the programme dates.

  3. 03

    Allocate the assembly and next handover

    Assign quantities to the people building and welding the assembly. Eligible workers open the linked drawing and available 3D reference from their own allocated work line.

  4. 04

    Submit, review and report

    Record actual machine completion and workshop submissions. Review approvals, remaining quantities and dated corrections; export the selected production records to PDF or Excel.

THE DETAIL MATTERS

A saw and a drilling-only beam line are two stages.

Your route should reflect how the part moves through your workshop. Cutting a beam to length does not also record its holes as drilled.

Band saw → beam line → fabrication

Record the cut pieces first. Complete the required downstream drilling stage before treating those pieces as ready for fabrication. Review whether drilling is required against the issued drawing.

Coil-fed CFLC rolling

A CFLC roller takes the reviewed raw coil, strip or sheet source. Internal rolling follows the selected cutting and rolling sequence; combined roll-and-cut output is counted once.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST PROJECT

Practical questions, clear answers.

Can each machine have its own setup?

Yes. Configure cutting, drilling and rolling operations, supported materials and applicable limits. All sizes and no weight limits are independent choices. Save section stock lengths where required; saved machine cards can be collapsed for easier setup review.

Can we track production without paying workers per tonne?

Yes. Subscriber workspaces track completed quantities, weight and approvals without per-tonne payments. Arc-Track’s originating Arctig workflow has separate payment controls.

Does an imported list or a 3D model mark work complete?

No. Imports and model references supply job information. Machine completion, workshop submissions and authorised approvals are separate saved records.

What needs to be checked on the first project?

Review one representative job: material and assembly quantities, drawing/model links, machine routes, allocations, actual completion, approvals and matching exports. Confirm the results against the source documents before relying on the workflow for live production.

START WITH YOUR WORKSHOP

Choose the modules you need.

Watch the training, review the current pricing and register your company’s details for setup and subscription review.

Production requires Procurement. Programme & Gantt is included with Production. Review the available combinations and current USD estimates on the pricing page.
