Tube Mill

INVEX software is built for tube mills and service centers focused on pipe as well as tube production

The INVEX cloud-based metal software offers comprehensive functionality for metal and steel tube mills and tube producers. INVEX enables tube mills to quickly take, produce, and ship orders with minimal screens and steps. Common business cases to produce tube from slit coil can be handled quickly and out-of-the-box.

Tube mills, which include welded pipe and ERW tube mills, produce and carry a wide range of products, which include round, square, and rectangular tube products.

Inventory can be searched by grade and shape of the tube, with additional searches by OD, ID, and wall for round tube.

In addition to viewing the heat and chemistry of the tube or bundle of tubes, the various mechanical tests that may have been taken during tube production can be viewed from the stock screen as well.
