Management of Rebar Production

We've developed a streamlined process that spans three critical stages: CAD-based technical design, factory manufacturing, and field installation. Each phase is equipped with purpose-built features to ensure maximum efficiency and precision.

Shaping the Reinforcement Bars

Operational Need: Shape the reinforcement bars according to standards as well as the project requirements defined by the designer.

Feature: A tool integrated with the computer-aided design software allows the technician (the detailer) to directly position the bars on the placement drawing intended for on-site installation. By combining the technician's expertise with efficient algorithms, the drawing incorporates all required specifications. The bars are then sent to production directly from the drawing by automatically generating barlists.

Precise Information Transmission

Operational Need: Avoid costly errors when transferring information to the factory and the construction site.

Feature: During the generation of barlists (also known as BBS or bar bending schedules), barcodes are automatically generated to accurately convey the data for each bar to the production machines, thereby reducing the risk of confusion and human errors.

Remote Work

Operational Need: Enable technicians, often hired as freelance and working remotely, to create barlists regardless of their location.

Feature: As soon as they are created, the barlists are automatically sent to a secure cloud-based database, eliminating the need for manual file transfers.

Delivery Coordination

Operational Need: Efficiently plan and coordinate deliveries with the construction site.

Feature: Technicians associate each production order with a delivery slip and a date. This slip consolidates all the information related to the delivery content, the customer, and the site contacts.

On-Site Organization

Operational Need: Shape the bars according to the prerequisites, identify the bars on site, and limit the size and weight of the bundles for easier handling both in the factory and on site.

Feature: The factory uses the delivery information and barlists to print labels. The bars are grouped into bundles of appropriate size and weight, with each bundle receiving a label that includes a barcode for cutting and bending as well as a visual mark linking the bars on the drawing to the physical bundles.

Inventory Management and Traceability

Operational Need: Know, in real time, the level of steel inventory to verify material availability and maintain steel traceability as required by the project.

Feature: Labels are printed and affixed to the received material. A QR code is scanned to record the material in the inventory, then, during production, a new QR code is used to deduct the steel from the inventory while linking this operation to the corresponding bundle.

Billing Tracking

Operational Need: Know the quantities of steel delivered per project and per client to facilitate billing.

Feature: Deliveries made during a specified period can be aggregated for billing, depending on the type of project involved.

Interface

Operational Need: Access an interface to view barlists, deliveries, and labels, and manage them from various devices (desktop, smartphone, tablet, etc.).

Feature: A modern, user-friendly mobile web interface that enables users to view and manage barlists, deliveries, and labels.

In summary, our solution incorporates tools specifically designed to transform technical drawings into factory production and on-site installation. By directly addressing each operational need, it offers features that reduce transmission errors, facilitate remote work, optimize logistical coordination, and efficiently manage inventory, all based on a fully integrated process.
