Sheet metal fabrication software that knows duct is not pipe with flat parts.

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

Before the system.

The fitting-heavy package queued behind the coil line.

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.

Nesting yield said 90. The scrap bin said 75.

The nest was clean. The remnants went to the bin instead of back to inventory, and nobody tracked the difference.

The run shipped without its damper.

Complete in the system, missing on the truck. The field found out at the hanger.

WHAT IT TRACKS

What the system tracks on the dry side

Lbs per hour that means something

By gauge, pressure class and work type, so the coil line and the fab table each get a real number.

Two yields, not one

Nesting yield and manufacturing yield tracked separately, so the drop either gets used or gets counted.

Coil versus sheet by part mix

Straight run goes to the coil line. Fitting-heavy work goes to the table. The routing follows the parts, not the tonnage.

Pressure class on the traveler

SMACNA pressure class and seal class travel with the part, so the fitter knows which joints need sealant before it ships.

Accessories as line items

Liner, dampers, flex connections and hangers tracked on their own, so a run is not complete until they are.

Loads in install order

Staged by which piece goes up first, built from what is genuinely complete.

HOW IT RUNS

One line, from the blank to the hanger

01

Cut the blank

Plasma, laser or coil line, with the nest and the drop recorded.

02

Form, seam, line

Beading, seaming, lockforming and liner tracked as the piece moves.

03

Accessories & QC

Dampers, flex and hangers attached to the run before it can stage.

04

Stage, ship, install

Loaded in the order the field installs, received and marked installed on site.

YOUR OWN SYSTEM

Your name on the login. Yours after 90 days.

We walk your floor, set the system up around how you deliver, and put your name on it. One invoice for the build, then a low yearly rate for hosting and maintenance that does not climb. No per-seat charge, and after five years the system and its history still belong to the shop.

QUESTIONS SHOPS ASK

Before the demo.

Does it connect to the coil line and the plasma table?

Through PypeServer, yes. Cut programs go out to the machine and what the machine actually ran comes back on the piece, so programmed cycle time and real machine time stop being the same number.

Does it handle SMACNA pressure class?

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.

We run pipe and duct in the same shop. Is that one system?

Yes. Pipe tracks on spools, heat numbers and hold points. Duct tracks on lbs per hour, yield and pressure class. Both run under one login, on their own logic, with the field module for the install crews.

How long until the shop is on it?

Ninety days, in three 30-day steps, with two visits to your shop. The next 21 months go into perfecting it for your operation.

NEXT STEP

Bring a nest.

Bring a real nest, a duct run or the way you measure lbs per hour today. We will show you what the system looks like set up around it.
