Key Benefits for Pipe Prefabricators

PipeCloud helps pipe prefabricators foster competitive advantage by automating repetitive tasks, improving visibility, and unlocking more output from the same resources.

1 Real-time production visibility

Track progress across all stages — including manual work. Supervisors and planners can react instantly to changes. Workers can communicate needs, report issues, and trigger support actions directly from their workstation.

2 Less manual work

Automate routine tasks like work effort calculation, CNC programming, and traceability. PipeCloud eliminates repetitive planning work and supports your team with ready-made instructions — even when the process itself remains manual.

3 Smarter capacity planning

Plan with real data, not guesswork. Visual capacity planning tools help you assign work to the right resources at the right time — based on estimated workload and current status.

4 More accurate bidding

Digitize your bidding process and reduce human error with automation. Centralize offer data, track costs, and instantly assess whether you have the capacity to deliver on time — all in one system.

5 Higher machine utilization

Use mass production logic to boost capacity. PipeCloud enables efficient cutting, bending, and fitting within a single setup — improving Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and machine throughput.

6 Digital weld traceability

Capture welding traceability and inspection data directly from the shop floor. PipeCloud enables digital traceability for each spool and welding, with customizable QA checkpoints and full production history.

7 Less material waste

Optimize material usage with smart nesting and bundling. PipeCloud reduces raw material waste by 10% or more. Cutting lists are generated in seconds, and leftover pipes can be tracked and easily reused.

8 More consistent shop floor execution

Standardized data = smoother workflow. PipeCloud ensures that every order goes through the same data “cleaning” process, reducing variation and making throughput time more predictable.

9 Subcontractor management

Track, assign, and follow up on external work — just like in-house tasks. With PipeCloud, you can assign piping tasks to subcontractors, monitor works, and maintain visibility over outsourced operations.

10 No complex IT setup required

PipeCloud is hosted for you — no major infrastructure needed. We’ll help configure and implement the system to match your workflow, without the hassle of a full IT project. And if you need something specific, we can also develop new features based on your requirements.

We’ve Got the Tech Side Covered

No complex ERP-style implementation. PipeCloud is delivered as a managed solution—meaning you don’t have to worry about servers, setup, or support. We handle:

  • Support – real humans, ready when you need
  • Hosting – secure, cloud-based, and up to date
  • Implementation – onboarding without disrupting your operations

Implementation

Getting started with PipeCloud is straightforward. Our team learns how your production operates and configures the system to match it. You simply help us understand your layout, processes, and machinery — we take care of the setup, integrations, and go-live support. From there, you can start running production with confidence while we handle continuous updates and support.

Case Studies
Doubling pipe spool output at Seaspan

By integrating PipeCloud’s technology within our current preproduction process, we believe we will achieve significant improvements in production efficiency and precision.

— Jari Anttila, Chief Operating Officer, Seaspan Shipyards
50 pipes in 10 minutes at Damen Naval

We would use various Excel sheets to create things like material lists or spool lists. Now with PipeCloud, we can do everything automatically. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare delivery packages for 50 pipes.

— Marco Gabriëlse, Manufacturing Engineer Piping, Damen Naval
Precision, speed, and control at Helsinki Shipyard

Partnering with PipeCloud helps us future-proof our prefabrication processes, delivering precision, speed, and control that are essential for our large-scale projects and growth.

— Kim Salmi, Managing Director, DNY Finland Helsinki Shipyard
Real-time insight at Ideal Welders

The integration of PipeCloud marks a turning point for our operations. This level of real-time insight and efficiency equips us to deliver even greater value to our clients

— Josh Taylor, Senior Project Director at Ideal Welders
Full welding traceability at Ardor

In PipeCloud, every action is tracked. This is extremely beneficial if there is a customer claim for welding. I don’t have to guess who welded that particular pipe; I can see it directly in PipeCloud.

— Joonas Väätänen, Foreman at Ardor
Efficient resource planning at Ulstein

We needed to renew the software and re-plan the pipe shop here at Ulstein. The software we were using was out of date and didn’t have the resource planning that the PipeCloud software offers.

— Gaute Gaudestad, IT Team Manager at Ulstein
Automatic delivery packages at Damen Naval

All we have to do is click and drag the PDF and PCF into PipeCloud. And then PipeCloud generates the delivery package, containing all the information that a pipe-fitter needs.

— Marco Gabriëlse, Manufacturing Engineer Piping, Damen Naval
Production data in your pocket at Ardor

All the necessary production information is available on my smartphone via PipeCloud. This means that all the issues that come up during the day can be clarified within seconds.

— Joonas Väätänen, Foreman at Ardor
Full production oversight at Damen Naval

This is now so straightforward. PipeCloud’s to-do list and calendar gives us this oversight, showing exactly what has been done and what still needs to be done.
