Why Steel & Metal Companies Need ERP
| Key Challenges in Steel & Metal Sector | How 100xERP Fixes These Pain Points |
|---|---|
| Complex multi-stage production (melting → rolling → cutting → finishing) | End-to-end production planning & machine scheduling |
| Managing raw materials: billets, ingots, scrap, coils, plates, alloys | Track all RM types with automated consumption logging |
| Difficulty tracking heat numbers and batches | Full heat-number & batch traceability across lifecycle |
| Heavy wastage if production is not optimized | Optimized planning & size/weight-based consumption control |
| Inventory mismatch for coils, sheets, bars & pipes | Coil/sheet/bar/pipe-wise inventory with real-time updates |
| No visibility into WIP and machine load | Live WIP tracking and machine load dashboards |
| Complex job-work / subcontracting workflows | Integrated job-work issue-return tracking & costing |
| Length, weight & thickness variations affecting costing | Parameter-based inventory + heat-wise costing engine |
| Handling heavy logistics & dispatch planning | Auto challan generation, freight, and route management |
| Quality defects and rework issues | QC checkpoints at every stage + COA auto-linking |
| Delays in customer delivery schedules | Accurate planning and real-time production visibility |
| Too much manual tracking in Excel | Digitized shop-floor data capture & automated reporting |

Frequently Asked Questions – Pharmaceutical ERP
1. What is Steel & Metal ERP software?
Steel & Metal ERP is an industry-specific system that manages production planning, heat number tracking, inventory by weight/length/size, job work, QC, and costing for steel plants, rolling mills, fabrication units, and metal processors.
2. Can 100xERP track heat numbers and batches accurately?
Yes. 100xERP auto-generates and tracks heat numbers throughout the entire production lifecycle — from melting to finished goods — ensuring full forward and backward traceability.
3. How does 100xERP help reduce wastage in steel manufacturing?
It uses AI-driven production planning and size-grade-weight-based consumption logic to minimize wastage and optimize raw material usage across processes like rolling, slitting, and cutting.
4. Does the system support coil slitting, cut-to-length, and recoiling?
Yes. 100xERP tracks parent-child relationships in coil processing, including slitting, cut-to-length, recoiling, and consumption logging — ideal for HR/CR coils and flat products.
5. Can I track inventory based on weight, length, and thickness?
Absolutely. Inventory is managed in real-time with parameters like weight, thickness, width, and length for items like coils, sheets, bars, pipes, and plates — preventing mismatches.
6. Does it support rolling mill operations?
Yes. 100xERP includes rolling mill planning, pass scheduling, size transitions, and production monitoring — perfect for TMT bars, angles, rods, and channels.
7. Can I manage job-work and subcontracting in the ERP?
Yes. You can issue raw materials for slitting, bending, fabrication, etc., track return quantities, apply QC, and calculate job-work costing and vendor performance.
8. Does 100xERP generate delivery challans and weighment slips?
Yes. The system auto-generates delivery challans, integrates with weighbridges (optional), manages dispatch QC, and even supports e-way bill and invoice creation.
9. Is costing supported per grade, size, and heat number?
Yes. You get detailed costing and profitability reports based on grade, size, customer, heat number, and job work — helping reduce overheads and maximize margins.
10. How long does it take to implement 100xERP for a steel plant?
Implementation typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on modules selected, plant size, and customization needs. Pre-configured templates for steel units enable fast onboarding.
