Compliance & traceability

Pass the audit without the fire drill.

ForgeEPM is built around AISC 207. Welder quals, WPS/PQR, and mill certs file themselves against the actual work, so a chain-of-custody package assembles with one click — not a week of digging.

The chain that builds itself

Heat to piece to assembly to load.

Every link is recorded as the shop works, so the traceability is a byproduct of the job — not extra paperwork.

Step 1

Mill cert in

Log the MTR and heat number when steel is received. Chemistry and melt origin are captured for Buy America flags.

Step 2

Heat → piece

Cutting a piece from stock ties it to the heat automatically. Heat pieces can't ship without a verified MTR.

Step 3

Weld & QC

Welds record the welder's stamp and process; QC checks and NDE results attach to the joint and the piece.

Step 4

Package out

One click assembles the chain-of-custody, welder roster, and heat register into an audit-ready package.

Print anything, on demand

The reports the auditor actually asks for.

Welder certifications per person and a whole-shop roster for bridge bids, the QMS binder, materials and heat register, the shipping log and bill of lading, the weld map, and personnel files — all generated from the live record.

  • AISC 207 Ch. 1 for everyone, later chapters by certification held
  • Personnel files with cert expiry warnings
  • Buy America / BABA melt-origin flags
