Metal Fabrication Applications of KnarrTek Software

The KnarrTek  software  is used by metal fabricators, who fabricate custom and semi-custom assemblies out of sheets and rolls of metal, as well as metal pipes, tubes, fittings, and other components. These clients use the KnarrTek software because of its ability to:

• Track rolls and sheets of metal in different units of measure and to convert between them.
• Track rolls and sheets by length and width and thickness and to convert to and from pounds
• Track different lengths of pipe, tube, rod, and bar including off-cuts for reuse
• Use generic part numbers with attributes such as length, width, and color to represent a large number of different raw, intermediate, and finished materials using a small number of intermediate part numbers
• Track the receipt and put away of raw materials, including customer owned materials
• Track the conversion of these intermediate products into finished products in a series operations
• Track work-in-process materials between operations
• Tracks outsourced operations such as coating and heat-treating
• Track rework and scrap, including recyclable scrap metal
• Track the packaging and shipment of finished products
• Generate barcode labels on-demand for incoming and finished products
• Interface with weighing scales for determining quantities on rolls, reels, and skids of material

The KnarrTek software is designed for use by those fabricators who make custom and semi-custom assemblies to order. It can import data from CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems, such as AutoCAD, and use this data to automatically generate Bills of Material and Work Orders to make a wide-variety of products for customers.
