The construction of traditional steel structures is different from the manufacture of the various structures mentioned in this title.
Modeling software is generally the same, and it is also important to optimize the link with them in different file formats.
In addition, traceability standards are very demanding for these types of structures, so manufacturers need to set up precise and reliable traceability processes.
In addition, manufacturers have to call on subcontractors for certain operations, such as galvanizing or painting sometimes very large components.
They must therefore integrate production management software capable of handling these particularities.
Oil rigs are essentially made up of round tubes, in addition to the traditional parts found in steel construction. CNC machines and skills in tacking and welding are involved. The machines that cut round tubes are generally specific, and their programming is different because they have to handle the wolf's mouth-type parts typical of this type of structure.
Mining machines are made from particularly resistant steels, as they will be operating in corrosive environments. What's more, they have to withstand heavy loads. They must therefore be made with steels that are sometimes more resistant than those used for traditional structures, and therefore cut on machines that allow this. The processing required is demanding, due to the conditions in which the machines are used. This means that we have to rely on subcontractors to carry out these operations.
Wind turbines are not strictly speaking part of steel construction, but can be machined on Ficep machines. These are used to mill the edges of the giant plates, which are then rolled to form the wind turbine tubes. These machines require production management software that enables them to be programmed, taking into account the associated constraints, as well as monitoring production progress in real time.
Finally, these fabricators need production management software capable of displaying a variety of performance indicators to check the profitability of their workshop, employees, projects, etc., over defined periods.
