4Industries
01

Architectural and Structural Metals Manufacturing

Steel beams, plate work, and architectural metalwork across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. FalOrb gives structural metals manufacturers real-time visibility into steel stock, project-based fabrication BOMs, and shop floor production schedules.

Pain 01
Multi-Project Material Conflicts

Multiple active projects competing for the same steel grades and sections from shared stock. Material allocated to one project consumed by another. No real-time view of committed versus available stock across all active projects.

Pain 02
Remnant and Drop Management

Steel cutting generates usable remnants that accumulate in the yard. Remnants suitable for smaller parts on other projects go unused because their dimensions aren't visible. Material waste increases while purchasable steel sits in the remnant pile.

Pain 03
Erection Sequence Delivery Pressure

Site erection teams need steel delivered in a specific sequence. Fabrication shop schedules driven by the most urgent erection sequence, not production efficiency. No integrated view of site sequence, shop capacity, and material availability.

Pain 04
Mill Certification and Weld Traceability

Every structural steel piece traceable to mill test certificates. Welded connections documented by welder, procedure, and consumable lot. Traceability records required by building codes and inspectors but maintained across separate paper systems.
