Heat numbers, weld logs and hold points stay with the spool from the first cut to the hanger, and the truck loads from what is actually complete. Set up around your floor, with your name on it, and yours after 90 days.
MONDAY MORNING
The load sheet said the packages were staged. Two were still on a rack behind the saw, and the field waited on them Tuesday morning.
The mill cert is in a binder, the cut sheet is on the floor and the weld log is a spreadsheet. When the turnover package is due, somebody rebuilds the chain by hand.
The hold point was a reminder on a whiteboard. The record says inspected. The field finds out whether anyone looked.
We’ve had these Mondays. ARCIFAB is what we made so we’d stop having them.
WHAT IT TRACKS
From the mill cert to the cut sheet to the weld log, on the spool the whole way.
Every joint carries who welded it, the procedure and the weld log entry.
Fit-up, weld, NDE and hydro. A spool cannot advance until the record is there.
What is cut, fit, welded, cleared and ready to stage, right now.
What came off the nest goes back on the BOM, so the next job sees it before the PO goes out.
Loads built from complete spools, received on site against the list and marked installed from a tablet.
The ISO comes in as the spools the floor fabricates. Nobody re-types a cut length.
When the ISO revs, the spool on the floor revs with it, before it turns into a re-cut.
What each welder put in today, against a good day.

INDUSTRIAL AND OIL & GAS
The paper an industrial job demands travels with the spool: pressure class, heat numbers to the MTR, weld maps, NDE and hydro packs. Turnover is ready when the last spool ships, not pieced together after.
HOW IT RUNS
01
Heat numbers travel with the piece from the first cut.
02
The weld log is tied to the spool, not a separate spreadsheet.
03
Hold points are enforced before status can move.
04
Trucks load what is complete, in the order the field installs it.
YOUR OWN SYSTEM
We walk your floor, set the system up around how you deliver, and put your name on it. You pay once to have it made, then a yearly rate to host it and keep it running, which changes only with data capacity. Add a fitter or a welder and the price stays put. Add a trade later and we scope it on its own. Five years on, the system and every job in it are still yours.

QUESTIONS SHOPS ASK
Yes. Through PypeServer, ARCIFAB connects to pipe profilers, saws and weld cells. Cut sheets go to the machine and what the machine ran comes back on the spool.
PDFs, Revit models, STEP files, CSVs, spreadsheets and photos of sketches. Nobody redraws the job to get it into the system.
Yes. Routing and hold points are set up around your QC sequence, and a package cannot advance past NDE or hydro until the record is there. Change the sequence for a job and the system follows it.
Yes. Process piping, skids and oil and gas run on the same spool tracking, with pressure class, heat numbers to the MTR, weld maps, NDE and hydro packs kept with each spool for turnover.
Ninety days, in three 30-day steps, with two visits to your shop: one to walk the floor, one to deliver, train and go live. The next 21 months go into making it fit your floor.
NEXT STEP
We will take one of your packages through the system, from the heat number to the hanger, with your shop calling every step.
