Learn the workflow.
Check the result.

Sign in with your company email and PIN. Open Machine setup. Subscriber registration does not require machine routes: configure the workshop here before the first job.

Name the machine and choose Cutting, Drilling only or Rolling. Select its materials. Use All sizes and No weight limit only when appropriate. Section cutters need actual loading limits, kerf and any dead zone. An existing beam or angle line is not silently changed to drilling only.

Enter purchased section stock lengths for section cutters. CFLC rolling is coil-fed: no standard stock or loading maximum is required; finished-section limits are optional. Enter actual coil details in the project CFLC supply plan. Plasma and plate-laser sheet sizes belong in the RFQ.

Save machines, then reopen a machine by its name to check it. Saved cards collapse; new machines open for setup. Save Production setup separately: choose who allocates, submits and reviews work. Collapsing a card neither saves nor discards a draft.

After machine changes, reopen active jobs, recheck and approve routing. Physical machines have separate Gantt rows with proposed dates: adjust them and Save programme. Adding a machine does not calculate its duration or prove capacity loading.

Select the exact destination in Projects. Choose Import project ZIP on its dashboard. This is the single project ZIP upload location. Check Import target against KSS source; Excel imports remain available in their existing sections.

Read the Tekla export guide. Include one metric Tekla KISS 1.0 KSS, a text-based one-page PDF per active mark and an optional matching phase IFC. Use A - MARK - Assembly.pdf or W - MARK - Description.pdf. IFC models link from this same ZIP. ZIP limit: 32 MB; PDF: 20 MB; IFC: 32 MB.

PDF first: check both lists, drawing previews, model previews and the model reference. Marks and quantities must match. Printed rounding retains history; real revisions block import until explicitly reviewed. Fasteners remain separate from cutting tonnage. A visual model does not confirm drilling requirements.

The final checkbox does not approve revisions. For intended revisions, confirm Use revised PDF values and recheck. Resolve checks, then Import project & link all files. Wait for the Completed receipt: included PDFs and models verify before the lists and links save together.

Find saved models under Production → 3D models, Work allocation and current assigned worker lines. Changed linked drawings require model review. For Excel, match worksheet, headers, range, fields, units and weight basis; review before importing. Recheck routing after either method.

Choose the project and phase, then Procure. Saved status bars show progress for each stage. Open a bar to work on it; a completed purchasing stage is not a quality or dispatch approval.

Check profiles, quantities, lengths, grades and line-total mass. Review section cutting against saved machines and purchased stock lengths. Select actual plate sheet sizes and quantities in the RFQ using your nesting result. A material list or model does not prove plate nesting or hole requirements.

Review each CFLC profile and grade. Outsourced buys supplier-cut-and-rolled sections. In-house uses your roller: roll and cut, cut blanks then roll, or roll before a separate cut. Confirm actual coils, strips or sheets, dimensions and quantities; price each whole unit. Existing raw stock needs a reference.

Review quoted quantities, units, price basis, lead time and totals, then Save supplier selections. Check the confirmation before creating the PO. Sending RFQs or POs is a deliberate action; importing or comparing does not send them. Changed raw requirements need another review.

Record actual partial or full receipts, delivery references, certificates and heat numbers. CFLC receiving keeps the registered PO’s coils, strips or sheets and dimensions, even after demand changes. Outstanding quantities remain visible. Categories classify rows; they do not change purchasing or routing.

Choose the project and phase. Production contains Gantt planning, Work allocations, 3D models and Cutting lists. Live operator cutting lines open the named cutting queues. Check linked PDFs and available models; an import does not record completed work.

In Machine operations, check the issued drawing and confirm drilling Required or Not required. The saw cuts to length before a drilling-only line. Internal CFLC follows its reviewed Procurement sequence. Imported profiles and visual models do not infer holes or approve machining instructions.

Assign quantities separately to boilermakers and welders. Check coverage and still-to-allocate values without counting historical approvals again. Boilermakers can see the saved welding allocation on their work line, including remaining unallocated quantities, so the next handover is clear.

Record cutting and each required downstream operation in its own queue. Upstream quantities limit later stages. Workers open their assigned PDF or View 3D model, then submit finished work when company rules allow it. Office-only rules require the office to submit. Quantities stay pending until reviewed.

The reviewer checks trade, project, person and completed quantity, then approves or declines. Verify saved approved quantity and weight. Subscriber workspaces track weight only; per-tonne payment controls are specific to the maintained Arctig workspace. Machine stages do not replace inspection acceptance.

Basic projects do not require QCP, Data Book or traceability. Custom and Full projects use their chosen requirements. Confirm whether phases have separate packs or one combined QCP/Data Book before collecting records.

Select the project and phase, then Data Book. Open the Electronic QCP where required. Check the actual inspection rows, responsibilities and approval requirements saved for this job.

Review required drawings, WPS, personnel records, material certificates, paint records and other selected documents. Check material receiving and heat numbers. Keep evidence attached to the correct project or phase. A 3D view supports understanding; it does not perform an inspection or replace an issued drawing.

Use the Data Book's saved status and outstanding items. Existing files do not automatically prove inspection acceptance. FabStation registration is not a required project or QCP condition.

Check contents, document revisions, signatures and generated reports in the printable pack before close-out. Obtain required inspection and client approvals through the actual QCP workflow; this lesson does not certify compliance or approve a job.

Choose the project and phase, then Shipping list. Enter the load name or reference and, where needed, date, destination, customer reference, default lot, finish and loading notes.

Filter Assemblies, Loose items / parts, search or Selected. Tick rows or Select visible. Enter whole load quantities within the current project quantity. Selections can remain when filters change.

Expand a selected line for load-specific description, lot, finish, length or area. Check linked drawings, known weight and missing measurements. A model can help identify the item, but linked assembly components must not be added again as loose shipping items.

Choose Save shipping selection and wait for the saved-state confirmation. Reopen from Saved lists. If source quantities change, Refresh items, review the selections and save again. Resolve missing items and stale versions explicitly.

Use Shipping documents → PDF or Excel. Both use the saved selection and list version, not unsaved changes. Shipping lists do not reserve stock, deduct inventory, record dispatch, complete production or approve QA release. Review other loads for overlapping quantities.

Use the standard blue Reports header. Select dates, machine and project or phase; named physical machines remain separate. Use Refresh for newly recorded work. Both date boundaries are included in the company timezone.

Finished cutting output uses saved completion changes. A rolling machine that also cuts to length contributes finished output once. Separate drilling and rolling throughput is shown as machine activity, not additional finished tonnes. Planned work, purchased stock and running hours are not output.

Corrections reduce output on their recording date. Weight basis checks identifies blank, zero or unresolved imported weights. Review the source before confirming per-piece or row-total basis. Missing kilograms are not invented, and monthly comparisons remain incomplete while either period has exceptions.

Each physical Gantt row uses its own cutting, drilling or rolling quantities. Removed or inactive historical machine routes remain visible for review. Proposed dates need Save programme before becoming confirmed commitments. A timeline is planning, not inspection acceptance or completed output.

PDF and Excel use the applied dates, machine and project filters, including matching activity records. Business Review combines current project controls and selected-period output. Workshop approved-work reports use their selected person and dates. Historical snapshots and locked figures remain preserved.
