Fitting is the phase where all prefabricated components are assembled into a complete spool. This is the first production step that focuses on the entire spool, rather than individual parts.
A typical challenge in fitting is collecting all the required components. A significant portion of a fitter’s time can be wasted on searching for materials instead of focusing on the complex fitting tasks.
Ideally, all components should be ready at the fitter’s workstation before the work begins. The fitter must also have access to the isometric drawing to understand how the components should be assembled.
PipeCloud supports this by enabling separate component picking work orders. This allows logistics personnel to handle material picking in advance, so the fitter can concentrate fully on the actual fitting work.
In PipeCloud’s fitting bundle view, the Materials tab clearly shows which components are needed to complete the job. Materials can be grouped either by material type or by spool, making it easy to verify that everything is available before starting.
