Technological innovation in fabrication lags behind other construction execution project phases. Until now.
MODS Connect Fabrication is a progressive solution to longstanding fabrication challenges, including traceability and progress tracking.
Traditionally, navigating fabrication-related information relies on reams of paper that are time consuming and painstaking to search.
The demands of Industry 4.0 are pushing fabricators towards increased transparency, as well as accuracy and accessibility of up-to-date information. This requires centralizing unwieldy paper dossiers, making them easily searchable.
The solution is digital.
Common fabrication-related challenges include:
-
Unknown real-time information status
-
Lack of traceability
-
Compromised quality assurance
-
Difficulties tracking Heat Numbers
-
Incident troubleshooting delays
-
Managing cumbersome paper-based systems
-
No accountable component tracking

Digitize your fabrication processes
Fabrication record keeping tends to be old school, relying on stacks of paper. Yet digital transformation in industrial sector projects, operations and maintenance is on the rise.
A digital solution now exists that ensures transparent and traceable fabrication processes, aligning this critical project phase with trending best practices used by construction contractors and operators.
Fabrication generates a ton of information. Using digital technology such as QR codes from the earliest possible stages eliminates the need for unwieldy paper-based processes.
When system-ready, digitized, centralized and navigable, fabrication data is powerful. Our progressive digital fabrication solution brings real-time status of fabricated components to your fingertips, anytime and from anywhere.
Streamlined progress tracking
Being able to track the fabrication process – knowing which components are at what stage of manufacturing and where – is essential to meeting the needs of Industry 4.0 in the construction, operation and maintenance of complex facilities.
The way to achieve this is through digital progress tracking, an innovative and much-needed approach.
Current fabrication processes rely on paper-based printouts and manual processes. Such ways of working can be slow-moving and error prone, making accurate progress tracking difficult. This leads to losses, mistakes and delays.
Our fabrication tracking solution is the first of its kind.
Our easy-to-use yet progressive solution helps you keep a handle on component status and ensures fabrication progress syncs with project priorities and status. When fabricators are on the same page as construction contractors or operators, projects run smoothly, on time and under budget.
Traceability
Effective incident tracing to troubleshoot and mitigate subsequent issues demands that component information be accessible, accurate and searchable. In our digital fabrication solution, all components’ heat numbers are logged in one comprehensive database. With a few keystrokes on a computer or handheld device, all relevant component information is at the ready.
Searching for archival information in reams of paper-based fabrication dossiers is time consuming and frustrating, especially when trouble-shooting an incident that requires immediate and reliable insights. With MODS Connect Fabrication in place, every heat number is logged and easily traced, even remotely. This eliminates time and stress of mining massive hard-copy files for complete supply-chain information.
Supply-chain visibility
Sharing and receiving accurate information among global teams requires information to be up to date and at the ready, anytime and from anywhere. With MODS Connect Fabrication, you can view fabrication progress, which includes the real-time status of components and the projected fabrication schedule. Our digital fabrication solution affords construction contractors, operators and fabricators to work harmoniously towards optimal efficiency.
Further, through integration with MODS Connect Materials Manager, fabricators develop a more thorough understanding as to the demands they seek to meet. This ensures that all components are fabricated on time and shipped to the appropriate location by the required time, with easily accessible quality assurance records in tow.
The materials-fabrication interlink
Easily integrated with digital materials management solutions such as MODS Connect Materials Manager, our digital fabrication solution streamlines fab workflows through real-time transparency of the entire materials supply-chain.
MODS Connect Fabrication allows fab scheduling to capitalize on both the availability of their raw materials as well as understanding the sequence of demands for their fab outputs. Knowing the project's availability of materials ensures fabricators schedule their operations with maximum efficiency.
3D visualization with Reality
MODS Connect Reality offers real-time 3D visualization and progress status of onsite construction execution, which gives fabricators a comprehensive look at the project. On-the-ground status and demands are clear, ensuring fabricators prioritize outputs accordingly.
"We have a long-standing relationship with MODS and provide them with working insights to develop digital solutions that will benefit businesses like ours. We are pleased to see the official launch of MODS Connect Fabrication, a solution we are already familiar with. We were happy to assist in the beta testing of a fit-for-purpose solution for fabrication yards, helping us enter the next era of digital transformation to make fabrication yards even safer and more productive."
