Control every steel flow before it becomes cost.
ERPX Shipbuilding digitalizes the industrial chain from raw steel stock to nesting, crossnesting, cutting, parts, pallets, prefabrication and shipment to the yard. It connects engineering data, material availability, machines and shop-floor execution into one traceable process.
Real-time steel optimization data from active shipbuilding operations
Steel optimization creates value far beyond the cutting plan.
ERPX Shipbuilding does not only optimize nesting layouts. By reducing raw steel consumption and improving production flow, it can also reduce material handling, crane movements, cutting operations, energy usage and logistics complexity.
Why steel optimization reduces CO₂
Saving steel does not only reduce the amount of raw material purchased. It reduces the environmental footprint of the entire industrial chain: steel production, transport, handling, cutting, rework and internal logistics.
From raw plate to prefabricated structure, one controlled chain.
Shipbuilding steel is not just a warehouse item. It is a sequence of decisions: which plate to use, which remainder to recover, which nest to cut, which parts to group, which pallet to prepare and which yard need to serve. ERPX keeps this sequence connected and measurable.
Raw plates and profiles
Material identity, dimensions, heat number, certificates, location, availability and production constraints.
Nests and work packages
Import and alignment of cutting programs, drawings, lots, production priorities and shipyard requirements.
Crossnesting and recovery
Combination of compatible needs and recovery of usable residual material before consuming new raw steel.
Cutting and shop floor
Machine integration, cutting progress, operator feedback, part status and production event traceability.
Parts, marks and pallets
Identification, marking, pallet composition, destination, loading logic and missing-part prevention.
Prefabrication flows
Control of first assembly phases, sub-elements, panels and production readiness for downstream yards.
Shipment to yard
Shipping documents, pallet tracking, destination control and visibility for receiving production sites.
Measured impact
Processed steel, optimized steel, recovery rate, cutting status, missing parts and monthly performance reports.
Vertical software for naval steel production.
ERPX Shipbuilding combines ERP, MES, WMS and shop-floor integration around the specific language of naval production: plates, profiles, nests, marks, pallets, lots, flows, assemblies and shipyard delivery priorities.
One traceable steel chain for shipbuilding execution.
ERPX preserves the connection between engineering intent, raw material selection, cutting execution, pallet composition, prefabrication and final yard delivery.
Steel optimization is not a report. It is an execution discipline.
In shipbuilding, savings are generated before cutting starts: when the right raw plate is selected, when compatible parts are grouped, when residual material is recovered and when operators can trust the digital flow.
