Production planning and capacity
Job sequence by due date, raw material and line capacity; loading visible with line width, thickness and speed limits.
INDUSTRY · STEEL PRODUCTION & METAL PROCESSING
From heat to shipment, every tonne and batch on record.
OCTO ERP built for steel businesses: production planning and capacity, work order tracking, heat number and batch traceability, scrap, offcuts and tonnage-based cost.
Where does it hurt today?
- Line capacity and due-date clashes live in the planner’s head; job sequences run in spreadsheets.
- Finding which heat and batch a product came from takes hours.
- Scrap and offcuts reach cost per tonne late and incompletely.
WHAT YOU MANAGE
A platform that speaks your industry’s language.
Work orders and operations
Rolling, drawing, cutting, welding and coating steps; tonnage, scrap and downtime from the line on barcoded forms.
Heat number and batch traceability
The heat number is recorded at intake; every product carries its heat, batch and lot.
Quality control and certificates
Incoming, in-process and final inspection; test results, certificates and nonconformities on the product record.
Scrap and offcut management
Edge, end and processing scrap per work order; scrap tonnage by type in stock and costing.
Tonnage-based cost
Real cost per tonne by raw material, line, labour, outsourcing and scrap.
Steel stock management
Raw material, semi-finished and finished stock in kg by grade, size and location.
Sales, purchasing and shipment
Quotes and orders by tonnage; purchasing and shipment linked to the same order. Weighbridge and accounting connections assessed per project.

Which operations does the steel production ERP cover?
Operations such as rolling, drawing, cutting, drilling, bending, welding and coating are defined in the product tree; your line and operation structure is mapped during set-up.
Can weighbridge and machine data be collected?
Weighbridge and machine connections are assessed per project, based on your hardware and connectivity.
How does ERP for steel differ from a standard ERP?
Tonnage-based stock and cost, heat number and certificate traceability, planning by line capacity and scrap tracking need later customisation in standard ERPs; in OCTO this structure is built in the language of steel production.
How does heat number and certificate tracking work?
Heat number and certificate are recorded at raw material intake; production work orders are linked to that material. The heat, test and certificate history of a shipped product is reached from one record.
How do scrap and offcuts reach costing?
Scrap and offcuts are recorded per work order; cost per tonne shows material loss and scrap value together.
