Wrong steel on the saw
You record the heat number and mill cert at receiving. They follow every cut piece and remnant. Nobody cuts a main member from steel they can't prove.
For steel fabricators and erectors
Stop rebuilding the turnover book at the end of every job. ForgeEPM records the heat, the QC check and the cost as the work happens. The paperwork is ready when the truck leaves. ForgeEPM runs on one PC in your shop. No internet required, and no cloud account.
A missing cert, an unchecked weld or a load that left too early leads to rework, a failed audit or a back charge. ForgeEPM stops those mistakes at the station, before they cost you.
You record the heat number and mill cert at receiving. They follow every cut piece and remnant. Nobody cuts a main member from steel they can't prove.
QC stop points (checkpoints a piece can't pass until it's inspected) hold the piece at the station. The office PC blocks the move, not just the screen.
When a welder logs a weld on the phone, someone else or a named inspector has to approve it.
ForgeEPM won't let you load a piece with an open NCR (non-conformance) or one still at the galvanizer.
The book builds from your job records. It shows what's missing while you can still fix it, not the night before it ships.
You see tons and hours against budget while the job runs. An overrun shows up while there's still time to act.
Each one is its own program with its own icon. Use ForgeEPM in the shop, Forge Build for steel erection, FORGE 3D to model the steel, and the ForgeGo app on the floor and in the field.
Jobs, estimating, production, mill-cert traceability, QC, shipping, billing and job cost, on one PC in your shop.
ForgeEPM →Crews and credentials, cranes and lifts, daily reports, bolt PIV and field progress for the erector.
Forge Build →Build the structure piece by piece and get shop drawings, NC1 machine files, the IFC model and reports.
FORGE 3D →Scan tags, move pieces through stations, QC, clock in, bolt PIV readings and document photos. Works with no signal.
ForgeGo →Start with the 80-second office program tour to see a full job. Then watch the 19-second ForgeGo clip to see a scan on the floor. No signal at the far end of the yard? The ForgeGo app keeps scans, clock-ins, QC checks and photos on the phone and sends them the next time the app is open and in reach of the shop PC.
Bring in the piece list from the detailer's files. Track mill heats. Watch tons and hours against budget. Print the turnover book without rebuilding the job at the end.
Link a phone with a code from the office PC. Scan piece and material tags, check the heat and cert, and sign off a station. It keeps working with no signal.
Lose the internet and the shop keeps working: scanning, QC, documents, printing, backups and the manual all run on your own PC. Only updates, reports to ForgeEPM support, dictation and course videos wait for it.
We're picking shops to run ForgeEPM on live work before general release. Pricing will be announced. Tell us about your shop and we'll be in touch.
