Pipe and Tube Industry Solutions

Manage Large Pipe and Tube Inventories with OpenTrac™

Managing and updating inventory of various sizes, shapes, and alloys can be complex and cumbersome. OpenTrac, a robust ERP system, enables pipe and tube shops to uniquely identify material by part number and/or attribute using bar code technology. Internal inventory can include several identifiers, including building, section, location, material diameter, length, bundle number, and piece count. All shipment information and material movement is tracked automatically with minimal human interface. This increase efficiency, and accuracy of the data.

OpenTrac™ solutions will automate business functions including shop floor management and workstations tasks. Checks and balances are in place to ensure that personnel are working on the correct jobs and picking correct inventory. As welding or grinding processes are performed, all information can be relayed wirelessly within the warehouse. Reports can be generated to track that amount of time users have spent on each job.

OpenTrac™ provides functionality in the areas of:

• Automated Shipping and Receiving
