INVEX software built for metal and steel rolling mills focused on producing various coil and sheet products

INVEX offers comprehensive functionality for metal and steel rolling mills that produce metal and steel coil and sheet products as well as metal and steel sections from slabs, billets, or ingots. Common business cases, such as metal and steel rolling, annealing, and pickling, can be handled, which provides a strong foundation for the order fulfillment process, complete with API integration capabilities.

The INVEX metal software handles the rolling mill production process from the slab or billet to produce a variety of products, which include metal and steel coils, sheets, plates, billets, bars, and sections. INVEX can also handle post-production processes, which could include slitting, cut-to-length, plate-cutting, or sawing before the finished product is shipped to the customer. For integrated mills, the slab or billet can be ‘passed’ to the INVEX software to handle the finishing processes. The benefit is a cost-effective solution that handles the multi-step and multi-plant processing that specializes in metal products.

Production includes specialized layout functions for metal and steel. The order fulfillment process allows for multi-step and multi-warehouse process routing for the multiple production processes required at a rolling mill, which can include rework processes.

Value-add costs are accumulated at each step, and all transfers are created automatically between warehouses for multi-plant processing.

Cases Handled

  • Contract orders for repetitive parts
  • Single or multi-step multi-plant processing
  • Handles the rolling, annealing, quenching, galvanizing, and pickling processes
  • Outside processing for processes such as coating or coil painting
  • Slitting, cut-to-length, decoilling, blanking, shearing, multi-strand blanking
  • Pickling and galvanizing a coil
  • Integration with annealing lines
  • Non-Conformance function for complaints and claims
  • Load planning and Shipping

APIs

INVEX provides several API’s to integrate with processing equipment controllers and systems as well as external production, scheduling, and optimization systems.

TESTING PROCESS

Chemical or mechanical test information can be recorded as needed during the production process.

EDI

Faster and easier to implement EDI with EDIX. EDI is an EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) -ready platform for metal service centers that makes it faster and easier to implement EDI.

Transform your metal business

INVEX handles production processes from the slab or billet to produce such as metal and steel coils, sheets, plate, billets, bars, and sections.
