STRUCTMAN : Construction Structural Activity Management Software

STRUCTMAN  is used to Track, Monitor, Control, Analyze and Report Structural Steel progress at different stages like Tendering, MTO, Ordering, Manufacturing, Assembly, Erection, Variance, Reconciliation, etc.
Structural Assemblies are approved at engineering release level & released for fabrication after checking the joints, BOM, NDT & SR requirement, Painting, etc. Assembly drawings are released for fabrication through Documented Transmittal with Assembly wise tonnage & scheduled completion date for fabrication.

STRUCTMAN is a software solution for managing structural activities on construction sites. It helps users to efficiently manage all aspects of structural assembly fabrication, including:

  • Engineering material control and planning
  • Production
  • Welding
  • NDT (nondestructive testing)
  • Painting
  • Laydown and dispatch

STRUCTMAN FAQ

Can you provide more information about the advantages of implementing this software, aside from digitization and productivity improvement?
  • This software offers a comprehensive solution for Structural Fabrication, covering the entire process from drawings to erection completion. It consolidates all fabrication data into one platform, including:
    • Bill of Materials (BOM) derived from drawings 
    • Purchase Orders (PO) and Material Receipt Notes (MRN) from ERP systems
    • Onboarding of fabrication subcontractors in the yard or outsourced fabrication vendors, including drawings and material allocation
    • Progress tracking of fabrication stages
    • Inspection records for each stage
    • Dispatch control with QR codes
    • Receipt and storage control at the site with QR codes, providing benefits to the customer
    • Progress tracking of erection stages, also benefiting the customer
  • When this software is implemented, all stakeholders involved in the process, such as TGS, Design Agencies, Fabrication Vendors, Yard-based Subcontractors, and Customers, will be on the same page.
  • The software generates automated reports with micro-level data, allowing you to: 
    • Generate a Matching Steel Report, comparing the balance BOM with the balance raw material (RM)
    • Prioritize allocation based on urgency
    • Generate a partial matching report, indicating the steel that needs to be procured
    • Allocate higher sections as needed
    • Access an online live Daily Progress Report
    • Identify surplus raw material, enabling decisions for re-allocation
    • Manage subcontractor and vendor billing
    • Facilitate client invoicing
What gaps are expected to get addressed ?
  • The gaps themselves may not be the focus, as each customer may require customization due to varying process flows.
  • Customization is also necessary to accommodate different ERP systems for seamless direct connectivity through API, such as for connecting to PO/MRN (steel), DC (FG), Subcontractor Billing, etc.
Can we anticipate benefits in terms of improved raw material management resulting in reduced inventory and inventory carrying costs?

The greatest advantage in raw material and inventory management can be achieved through the following methods:

  • Utilizing QR code-based tracking for both the mother plate and child QR codes for cut pieces, enabling tracking of off-cuts.
  • Integrating Bill of Materials (BOM), Purchase Orders (PO), and Material Receipt Notes (MRN) in the same database, allowing for the generation of live automated reports:
    1.  Surplus steel can be effectively managed by comparing the balance of raw material with the balance of the BOM.
    2. Partial Matching Reports can assist in determining the minimum amount of steel to purchase in order to maximize matching with existing steel. 
    3. Reconciliation reports can be generated to ensure accurate inventory records.
    4. Inventory aging analysis can be conducted to identify and address any obsolete or slow-moving inventory.
    5. By incorporating cost data into the software, a report on inventory carrying costs can also be generated.
What could be other cost advantages? Will the throughput/ production improve?

  • It should be noted that this software will not directly lead to an improvement in throughput and production.

  • However, this software can serve as a facilitator for ensuring optimal loading of the shop based on the available data, which in turn enables completion and dispatch according to the specified marks. This maximizes production capacity.

  • Additionally, the software helps in reducing labor and asset idling.

  • Furthermore, it helps in minimizing losses and rework caused by drawing revisions, as these are controlled through the software.

How end customer will benefit?
  • In terms of project management, the end customer will have the ability to monitor progress online, prioritizing projects as needed. Access to the software will be provided.
  • The use of QR codes on received materials will enable efficient tracking, ensuring effective storage and control.
  • The end customer will also have the capability to utilize the same module for monitoring erection progress at each stage.
