The quality assurance system for manufacturing of ERW, spiral and seamless pipes is a challenging process right from the start of procuring the raw material till the dispatch. All pipes are thoroughly inspected to find defects in the world, body, diameter, forming defects etc.
Lighthouse ERP for Pipes & Tubes Industry offers a breakthrough system designed specifically to address these technical intricacies. With advanced Production Planning logic, it enables optimized usage of raw material (coils) while accurately aligning with open production orders and delivery schedules.
Purpose-built to meet the core requirements of the pipes manufacturing industry, Lighthouse ERP ensures every operational layer from inventory control to dispatch clearance is automated, accurate, and auditable.
Since 1987, Lighthouse has continued to evolve, bringing industry-specific ERP software tailored to real-world pipe mill challenges.
Many shop-floor teams still depend on manual registers or Excel, making it hard to shift to digital systems.The shop floor productivity can be increased with ERP.
Tracking material is difficult due to multiple internal and external routing possibilities between stages.
The rolling process includes slitting, forming, and welding. Loss of material traceability at any stage can affect compliance and quality so recording production stage’s output with ERP becomes necessary.
Most ERPs lack in-built support for granular material traceability, risking compliance with quality standards.
Inventory can be controlled using Heat numbers or Tags. For tubes, heat control is effective where tagging each item isn't feasible. Stock search is possible by OD, ID, or Wall thickness.
The ERP for pipe manufacturing industry comes with tailored training and strong change management to help users shift smoothly from manual to digital.
Supports coil receiving by actual/theoretical weight, and pipe/tube inventory by length, bundle, or weight.
ERP for pipes and tube industry handles all stages of material movement, including multi-step in-house and outsourced processes, with auto-generated transfers.
Offers traceability via Heat or Tag control. Enables precise stock search using OD, ID, and Wall thickness ideal for tubular products.
Sales can match stock to ASTM, ASME, or MIL standards by importing chemical/mechanical test results and confirming orders accordingly.
Detailed production planning control covering, recording of heat number & coil number, internal coil number generation.
Managing the inventory and movement of over 50-60 varieties of pipes and 250-300 kinds of fittings.
Pipe forming/pipe mill with unique pipe number generation.
Production tracking throughout various processes like ultrasound, coating, radiography etc. Quality Inspection at every process.
Under inspection and clear to Dispatch. Movement between manufacturing unit and finished good yard/depots.
