Lbs per hour by gauge and pressure class, yield that counts the drop, coil-line and table work routed by part mix, and every duct run shipped with its fittings, liner and dampers. In a system your shop owns.
MONDAY MORNING
The schedule saw tonnage, not what kind of work. The plasma table got reprogrammed, the crew re-sequenced the day, and the AHU room ship date held because people stayed late.
The nest was clean. The remnants went to the bin instead of back to inventory, and nobody tracked the difference.
Complete in the system, missing on the truck. The field found out at the hanger.
We’ve had these Mondays. ARCIFAB is what we made so we’d stop having them.
WHAT IT TRACKS
By gauge, pressure class and work type, so the coil line and the fab table each get a real number.
Nesting yield and what’s left on the skeleton, tracked apart, so the drop either gets used or gets counted.
Straight run goes to the coil line. Fitting-heavy work goes to the table. The routing follows the parts, not the tonnage.
SMACNA pressure class and seal class travel with the part, so the crew knows which joints get sealed before it ships.
Liner, dampers, flex connections and hangers tracked on their own, so a run is not complete until they are.
Staged by which piece goes up first, built from what is genuinely complete.
CAMduct and CADmep jobs come in as the fitting tickets the floor runs from. Nobody re-types a fitting.
Cut programs go out to the machine, and what it actually ran comes back on the fitting.
Submittals and closeout records stay with the job as the work is done, ready when it closes out.

HOW IT RUNS
01
Plasma, laser or coil line, with the nest and the drop recorded.
02
Beading, seaming, lockforming and liner tracked as the piece moves.
03
Dampers, flex and hangers attached to the run before it can stage.
04
Loaded in the order the field installs, received and marked installed on site.
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 sheet metal worker 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. Cut programs go out to the plasma table and the coil line, and what the machine actually ran comes back on the fitting, so programmed cycle time and real machine time stop being the same number.
Pressure class and seal class ride on the traveler from the cut sheet to the install, so the shop and the field both see which joints need sealing and which gauge the piece was made from.
Yes. Duct runs on its own numbers: lbs per hour, yield and pressure class. Anything else you fabricate runs beside it in the same system, with the field module for the install crews.
Yes. Fitting tickets come in from the detailer’s files, so nobody re-types a fitting.
