The MES side
Work orders
Generated from the job, split by lot and by workstation, with fabrication documents attached.
Routings and times
Times estimated per process — cutting, drilling, assembly, welding, finishing — then compared to actuals.
Workshop clocking
Declared per operator and per workstation, on a shop-floor screen or by badge. Load and progress stay current without reporting.
Cutting optimization
Bar and plate nesting with several strategies, offcuts returned to stock and tracked.
Traceability
Material certificates, heat numbers, inspections and non-conformities attached to the part.
Load and schedule
Load per workstation, job milestones, delays visible before they cost anything.
EN 1090 standard
CE marking linked to each job.
An EN 1090 file cannot be reconstructed the night before the audit. The records come out of everyday work — goods-in, cutting, welding, inspection — instead of being re-keyed afterwards.
Factory production control
The records the FPC expects come out of daily work: goods-in, inspections, deviations, corrective actions. Nothing to reconstruct.
Material traceability
Type 3.1 certificates, heat numbers and grades followed from the delivery note to the erected part — reused offcuts included.
Welding
Welders and welding procedures attached to operations, with qualification expiry dates and an alert before they lapse.
Execution class
EXC1 to EXC4 declared per job, with the inspection plan and the tolerances that follow from it.
Inspections and non-conformities
Inspection plans, reports, dimensional surveys and deviation handling, attached to the part and to the job.
Job file
Everything needed for the declaration of performance and the CE marking sits in one place, job by job.
TopSteel issues no certification and does not replace your notified body. It produces and keeps the records you will be asked for — the certification process remains yours.
