Enterprise-wide Visibility and Control

Integrated quality tracking and control capabilities ensure that products are produced or processed according to customer specifications while maintaining complete product genealogy and process history, including chemical/physical lot properties and in-process test results.

Automatic generation of certification documents, the ability to match customer requirements to material/melt specifications, on-line entry of heat results, in-process check chemistry support, and many other quality management features dramatically reduce the effort required by factory and office personnel. Inventory control and material application by lot and tag # not only enables better utilization of inventory, it also ensures the proper use of material at every stage of production.
