Lockformer Spiral Status Technology

Data Driven Contracting Meets Data Driven Manufacturing

With Lockformer Spiral Status Technology — introduced by the partnership between Mestek Machinery and Stratus — contractors now have the ability to download directly from the Stratus Workstation Application to the Lockformer Spiral TubeFormer HMI to enhance the following applications:

Cutting and Nesting

  • Automatic download of parts from the Stratus Workstation Application Platform to the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer controls.
  • Streamlines tasks and enabling meticulous organizational control from BIM to reality workflows — the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer HMI.

Packaging

  • Enables operator to easily request work orders through the cloud, allowing you to create fabrication packages outside of Revit.
  • Streamlined process by narrowing down your selection to project areas, specific systems, material types, and other criteria.
  • Operator can also automate this process by auto-packaging projects direct to the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer HMI.
  • Cuts down on administrative time by sorting, saving and printing packages for construction to the factory via direct download to the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer HMI.

Fabrication Management

  • Manage the fabrication of sheet metal systems by enabling the generation of files that directly feeds the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer HMI, ensuring a seamless transition from design to production.
  • With its robust publishing capabilities, it integrates effortlessly with industry-standard tools like CAMduct and Revit, enhancing the flow from digital drafting to physical creation.
  • The integration between Stratus and the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer HMI streamlines fabrication by using Stratus’ manufacturing planning tools to group like-diameter spiral orders across multiple projects into unified cut lists, minimizing waste and reducing setup time.

Status Tracking

  • Label printing via the Stratus Workstation Application Platform in conjunction with the Lockformer Spiral Tubeformer HMI.
  • Via label production per part with QR Code the Supervisor/ Operator can not only track production but locate parts on the job site as either installed, inventoried, or in production.
  • Labels are printed per part. Can be sorted in a production manner.
