Krah Pipes | Thorgate

Project overview

Our client in this case study is an Estonian manufacturer of construction pipes. Their Flexible Krah-technology allows one to design and manufacture custom pipe configurations or even one single section of pipe. Thorgate wrote software to help optimize their scheduling and logistics and automate their quality control systems.

Previously, Krah pipes used enormous Excel tables that often broke because of the complicated nest of embedded formulas which due to their inflexibility did not allow any human errors. Currently they have:

Live update of client orders
Live overview of the schedule; schedule tracking
Manual and automatic upfront planning
Timeplan blockers and automatic planning rules
Reviewing production and revision history
Configurable tools and production times
Cancellations and automatic adjustments when orders change
Reports: time, material, faults per pipe segment and per employee
Prognosis: time, material, consumption
Quality assurance input and evaluation
Automatic detection and/or measurement of production faults

We save hundreds of hours of manual work per year
