See what steel fabricators say about STRUMIS
From the start of the process there are business benefits - from procurement and cost savings from materials maximisation into production where we can route and track the materials in the most efficient manner around our facility. SESAB benefit greatly from the preliminary nesting provided by STRUMIS to organise and optimise our materials usage.
Since we implemented STRUMIS we have found our day-to-day operations have been significantly more streamlined through using STRUMIS, the link with Tekla provides almost instant importing of our project data, project material requirements are managed through the nesting and ordering feature within STRUMIS which also caters for tracking cast/heat numbers and material test certificates to help with CE Marking, our workshop staff now provide total employee and process time recording using the STRUMIS Production Console, inventory is managed seamlessly and automatically and the overall business benefits of investing in technology are clear to see. Our next mini project with the STRUMIS team is introducing Executive Dashboards which we have seen demonstrated by the STRUMIS technicians and which will add yet another layer of additional project data information specifically for our senior management team.
The material logs and production files are always accessible on the server and can be easily reported. Additionally, exporting material lists and reports is a fantastic feature that allows us to customize each phase of our projects.The Strumis BIMReview 3D Model Viewer enables us to examine each component and determine whether it is suitable for procurement. The reports for purchase orders and material nesting/optimization (mults) are excellent, allowing us to send all these nests directly to our suppliers from the STRUMIS program. Once the materials arrive at our facility, the Strumis program generates cutting sheets and inventory feed sheets for the workshop machine operators, ensuring 100% traceability.
