Introducing Industry 4.0 for pipe prefabrication
Use the power of smart tech to produce unique pipe spools with the efficiency of serial production
WHAT IS PIPECLOUD?
PipeCloud is a manufacturing execution, quote calculation, and work effort estimation SaaS system for prefabricated pipe manufacturers of any size. With PipeCloud, you can easily extract material data from isometric drawings of pipe spools, convert it into logical spool bundles, generate programs for machine tools, assign orders to workers, and track the progress.
HOW DOES PIPECLOUD WORK?
Production of unique pipe spools has always been artisanry that required an army of talented engineers and hours of routine work planning for an industrial scale. But with PipeCloud, you’ll be able to digitalize what has been done manually for decades. Here’s how:
KEY BENEFITS FOR PIPE SHOPS
PipeCloud is full of features that will help pipe shops to maintain their competitiveness.
Some of the key benefits are:
Automation
PipeCloud reduces the risk of human error by automating most pipe production processes from raw data processing to progress tracking.
Organized workflow
All pipe parts are sorted, marked, and organized according to manufacturing phases: cutting, bending, fitting, and plasma cutting.
Increased OEE
Utilizing mass production capabilities to perform traditional pipe production activities (cutting, bending, fitting, etc.) in the same machine setting increases the workshop’s machine utilization rate and OEE.
Caring for the environment
Due to the advanced nesting capabilities of PipeCloud, you’ll be able to reduce raw material consumption by 5-8%. On a global scale, this equals the amount of material needed to build 100 Eiffel Towers.
Transparency and flexibility
You will get real-time status updates on all production phases while making changes on the go if the demand situation changes.
WHO NEEDS PIPECLOUD?
SMALL AND MEDIUM PIPE SHOPS
- At PipeCloud, we understand that scaling can be painful, especially for a small- and medium-sized pipe prefabrication business. The increased number of orders and employees may entail work planning and monitoring issues that lead to missed deadlines and lower product quality.
- One of the key advantages of PipeCloud is automating the work planning and monitoring processes, making them significantly faster and more cost-effective. Thanks to PipeCloud, the productivity of your pipe workshop can be increased by 20-50%.
BIG PIPE PRODUCTION ENTERPRISES
- The effects of human error may be disastrous when you produce pipe spools on a large scale. Unforeseen expenditures, environmental issues caused by large material consumption, and drops in product quality are only a few of the possible consequences that can destroy your hard-earned reputation.
- With PipeCloud, you can reduce manual work, minimizing the risk of human error. Batch processing PCFs, bundling spools, managing production schedules, and other features of PipeCloud allow you to juggle many processes at once without sacrificing your budget and product quality.
