Tekla models, SolidWorks STEP files, PDFs and CSVs come in as they are, and every piece mark is tracked from the drill line to the erection sequence. MTRs, UT and bolt certs stay with the steel. Your own system, with your name on it.
MONDAY MORNING
The shop drawing revised Thursday. The NC file at the coper did not, and six beams came off the line wrong.
The erector needed column line C. The truck brought D, because D was what was done, and the crane waited.
The heat number was on the beam. The MTR was in a binder in the office, and the UT report was on somebody’s laptop.
We’ve had these Mondays. ARCIFAB is what we made so we’d stop having them.
WHAT IT TRACKS
Tekla models, SolidWorks STEP files, PDFs and CSVs come in as they are. Nobody re-types a piece mark.
Every piece mark carries its shop drawing, its single-part drawing and where it is right now.
When a shop drawing revs, the NC file at the drill line and the coper revs with it, before the next beam is cut.
Plate and shape remnants go back on the rack with their heat number, so the next job uses them first.
Fit-up, CJP welds, UT results and the inspector’s sign-off stay with the piece mark.
Every heat number tied to its MTR and every bolt lot to its cert, ready for turnover.
Trucks load by sequence and column line, from steel that is complete, painted and checked.
What each fitter and welder put out this week in tons, against a good week.
The field receives the load against the shipping list and marks each piece erected, even with no signal.

HOW IT RUNS
01
Tekla, STEP, PDF or CSV becomes the piece list, by erection sequence.
02
Every piece tracked at the saw, the drill line and the coper.
03
Fit-up, CJP welds and UT logged before the piece can ship.
04
Loaded in erection sequence, received and marked erected from a tablet.
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 STEEL SHOPS ASK
Tekla models, SolidWorks STEP files, PDFs and CSVs. We read it all, so nobody redraws the job to get it into the system.
Yes. Every heat number is tied to its MTR and every bolt lot to its cert, so the turnover package is ready when the last piece ships.
Yes. Loads are built by sequence and column line from what is complete, and the erector receives and marks each piece from a tablet, even with no signal.
Yes. Every piece mark keeps its MTR, UT results and bolt certs, loads ship in erection sequence, and your data lives in its own system behind single sign-on.
