Link each billet, coil and die to the parts formed from it, through inspection and dispatch.
Hot, cold and precision forging companies, stamping and deep drawing shops, roll formers and forged automotive parts makers all shape metal under force. The software keeps material lots, dies, production counts, inspection results and customer orders on one record, so a part can be followed back to its steel. Each trade keeps its own product.
Every forming trade starts with stock metal. Forging companies cut billets, heat them and strike them in dies, while cold and precision forging companies work closer to final shape. Metal stamping, deep drawing and roll forming companies feed coil or sheet through presses and rolls to make blanks, cups and long sections.
Material and tooling carry the records. Each billet or coil arrives with a mill certificate, a grade and a heat number, and each die has a drawing, a stroke count and a repair history. Press tonnage, stroke rate and set-up time decide how a job is planned and costed, yet these facts rarely sit in one place.
Automotive buyers add demands of their own. Buyers ask for lot traceability, first-article reports and control plans from every forged automotive parts maker that supplies them, whatever the size of the order. Heat treatment, shot blasting and machining often follow forming, sometimes at an outside vendor and sometimes in the next bay of the same shop. The part keeps its identity throughout. The paperwork has to keep pace.
Software for each kind of forging & Metal Forming business.
Hot forging companies
Hot forging turns a heated billet into a shaped part under a hammer or press. The software ties each forged piece to its mill heat number, die set, strike count and induction heater temperature, so laps and cold shuts trace to one die. Normalising, shot blasting and magnetic particle inspection follow on the same record.
Learn moreCold forging companies
A cold forging shop shears coiled wire into slugs and upsets them in multi-station headers at room temperature, often for a full shift unattended. The software ties each coil to its die case, punch stroke count and lot. Hardening and zinc flake coating are followed as one job.
Learn morePrecision forging companies
A precision forging company heats cut billets, presses them in closed dies to near-net shape and trims off the flash. The software keeps the bar heat, the induction run, the die and the forging weight on one lot record. Machining allowance, heat treatment and magnetic particle results stay attached to the part.
Learn moreForged automotive parts manufacturers
Forged automotive parts such as crankshafts, connecting rods, steering knuckles and yokes ship against customer schedules and strict traceability. The software holds release schedules, control plans, bar heat numbers and date codes together. A part marked on the forging is traced to its heat, its die and its shift. Approval sample packs and returnable racks sit on the same order.
Learn moreMetal stamping companies
Stampers feed coil or strip through progressive and transfer dies on mechanical and hydraulic presses, and the die is the asset that needs the closest watching. The software keeps die history, coil heat number, stroke count and parts per hour for every run. Regrind, scrap weights and customer call-offs are tied to the run they came from.
Learn moreDeep drawing companies
A deep drawing company turns flat blanks into cups, shells and cylinders through one or more draws, often with annealing between stages. The deep drawing company software records the sheet coil, the blank, the tool set, each draw stage and the wall thickness checks. Trimming, outside plating and dispatch follow on the same job.
Learn moreRoll forming companies
Roll forming bends coil into a profile through a train of roll stations and cuts it to length. The software keeps coil lots, roll tooling, line settings and cut lists on one job. Bow, twist and length drift are traced to the coil and the setup that produced them, so the next run starts from known settings. Bundles ship labelled.

Forging shop software: what a forging company needs to track
Heats, billets, furnace runs, dies, inspection and orders belong on one record. See what hot, cold and precision forging shops should track and why.
Learn moreHeat number traceability for forgings: from mill certificate to part
Link mill certificates and heat numbers to billets, forging lots and shipped parts so a customer audit finds the full chain in minutes, not days.
Learn moreDie life tracking for forging dies: counts, repairs and retirement
Set up strike counts per die, a polish and rework history and a retirement rule, so the cost of each die per forged part is known and not guessed.
Learn moreWhy stamping die changeover takes so long and how to measure it
Split stamping changeover into die lift, setup, first off approval and waiting. Measure each press, find the real loss and decide what to fix first.
Learn moreQuestions forging & Metal Forming businesses ask.
Does one product cover forging and stamping?
No. Forging, stamping, drawing and roll forming keep different records, so each trade has its own product. Shops that do several kinds of work, such as a stamping shop with its own welding cell, are scoped during implementation. We map the floor first.
Can it count strokes straight from the press?
Not on its own. Presses and their controllers differ, so a direct link is studied machine by machine after the equipment has been listed. Until then, counts are entered at the press.
Can it trace a forged part to its billet?
Yes. Material lots are recorded on receipt and linked to each production lot. A part, a batch or an order can then be followed back to the heat number, however many stages lie between them. Nothing is retyped.
Will it produce reports in our customer’s format?
Yes, where the data is recorded. Report layouts are agreed during implementation. The customer’s own portal or template is reviewed before the format is fixed, so the pack matches what the buyer expects to receive with each lot.
