PipeCloud streamlines production planning with automatic CNC programming, optimized pipe nesting, and built-in capacity planning tools.
In many cases, the originally designed pipe spool or pipeline cannot be manufactured exactly as planned. Large pipelines often need to be split into smaller, more manageable spools. Some pipes may require additional welds. Bends might need to be replaced with elbows, or vice versa. Managing these changes — along with generating CNC programs, calculating cutting lists, nesting pipes efficiently, and creating optimized work orders — is time-consuming and complex.
Planners must also estimate labor across all work phases, balance workloads between stations, and align production with available capacity to maintain high Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Without the right tools, this level of coordination is difficult to maintain.
PipeCloud streamlines this entire planning process by intelligently extracting critical data directly from design files. This includes advanced features like PDF Parsing and PCF Parsing that automatically interpret spool drawings and piping component data. Interactive views support planners in organizing, sequencing, and adjusting the workflow from cutting to dispatch. Tools like the Capacity Planning view help maintain balance across the full production schedule.
