Sheet coils, draw stages, annealing and plating counted lot by lot through to dispatch.

Follow sheet coil from receipt through blanking, draw and redraw stages, annealing batches, tool life, wall thickness checks, trimming and outside plating to the dispatch bay. Each lot is counted in and out of every stage, with its coil, its tool set and its measured readings attached. Press operators, the tool room, inspectors and the dispatch desk read the same lot.

  • Part routings, tool sets and sheet grades entered under your own names
  • Coil stock, open lots and tool histories migrated from your registers
  • Routing and sheet changes handled by GullySystem staff on request

Deep drawing shops count lots through blanking, draws, annealing and trimming. Each stage records the coil, the tool set, the readings and the scrap reason. Shells sent for plating are matched to what returns. Press crews, the tool room and inspectors all open the same lot.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Quantities shrink between stages

A part passes through blanking, three draws, an anneal and a trim. Shells counted at each stage differ, and nothing says whether the loss was tearing, wrinkling or a miscount.

Sheet properties are separated from the shells

Gauge, temper and coil number matter to a draw, yet they stay with the coil tag at the blanking press. Later stages cannot show which coil a troublesome lot came from.

Tool condition is argued, not measured

Punches, draw rings and blank holders wear at different rates. With no strokes counted per tool, tearing and scratching are blamed on operators or on the sheet.

Furnace baskets blur lot identity

Shells from two lots can share one anneal load or one wash basket. Afterwards the lots look the same, and nobody can separate them again.

Wall thickness evidence is thin

Base and wall readings are taken with a gauge, noted on a slip and filed in a drawer. A customer’s thin-wall complaint cannot be answered from the slip.

Outside plating loses its counts

A lot goes out for plating or polishing in cartons, and comes back as a different count. The shortfall is noticed on the customer’s side, not on the dock.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Order and routing

    An order is entered against a part, its drawing revision and the stages it follows. The routing lists blank, draws, anneals, trim, wash and any outside finish.

  2. 2

    Coil and blanking

    Sheet or coil is booked with gauge, temper and heat. A blanking lot records discs cut, blank diameter and offcut weight against the parent coil.

  3. 3

    Draw and redraw

    Each draw stage is run on a press with a tool set from the register. The lot is counted in and out, and wrinkles, tears or earing are logged with the cause.

  4. 4

    Anneal and wash

    Shells are loaded into the furnace by lot, with temperature and time noted. After the wash, the lot returns to the next press or goes on to trimming.

  5. 5

    Final checks and finish

    Height, wall and rim readings are entered. Shells that pass go to plating or polishing, counted out and back against the vendor’s report.

  6. 6

    Packing and dispatch

    Cartons are packed with a label carrying part, lot and coil. The invoice quantity is taken from what was packed. Short counts show up here.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Orders and drawing revisions

Hold orders by part number and drawing revision with the routing each part follows. Release schedules and due dates are held on that record too.

Sheet and coil register

Book coil and cut sheet by supplier, gauge, temper and heat, with the certificate on file. Show what is issued to blanking and what remains.

Blanking lots

Record discs cut per coil, blank diameter, nesting layout and offcut weight. Offcut and skeleton scrap is weighed back against the coil.

Draw stage routing and counts

Count each lot in and out of every draw, redraw, iron and trim step. The gap between two counts is shown with the recorded reason.

Press and tool set register

Keep punches, draw dies, blank holders and trim tools against parts, with strokes, polish dates and sharpening history. Tool room sees work due.

Annealing and wash log

Record furnace loads by lot, temperature and soak time, and the wash and dry step. Mixing two lots in one basket raises a flag at loading.

Thickness and height checks

Enter base, wall, rim and height readings on sheets laid out for each part. A reading outside the drawing holds the lot at its stage.

Defect and scrap log

Log wrinkles, tears, earing, scratches and dents by stage, press and tool set, so a repeating defect points to a tool or a coil.

Outside finish tracking

Track shells sent for plating, polishing or coating. Counts out are compared with counts back, and the vendor’s thickness or finish report is attached.

Dispatch and invoicing

Pack against the order with lot and coil labels. Print the dispatch papers and invoice, and book a returned lot against the one it came from. Nothing leaves without a label.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Order Management

    Orders are held with the part’s drawing revision and routing, so each lot knows which stages it must pass before dispatch.

  • Goods Receipt (GRN)

    Coils are checked in against the order with gauge, temper and heat, and the certificate is filed before sheet is issued to blanking.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Each blanking lot is linked to its parent coil, and later draw stages inherit that link through to the carton label.

  • Work Order Management

    A work order lists the stages a part follows, and the lot is counted in and out of each, with the gap shown beside its reason.

  • Fixed Asset Register

    Presses and tool sets are listed with strokes, polish dates and sharpening history, so the tool room plans work before tearing starts.

  • Quality Control

    Base, wall and rim readings are entered on a part sheet, and a result outside the drawing holds the lot at its stage.

  • Job Work Management

    Shells sent for plating leave with a count and vendor, and the returned count and finish report are checked before packing.

  • Invoice Management

    The delivery note and tax invoice are raised from the packed carton quantities, using the currency and tax rules set for each buyer.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For owners

See lots by stage, scrap by press and by tool, plating counts outstanding and orders due this week.

For press supervisors

Count lots through each stage, log tearing or wrinkling, and see which tool sets are near their polish count.

For the tool room

Open the tool register, see which punches and rings are due, and record polishing or replacement with the stroke count reset.

For quality inspectors

Enter thickness and height readings, hold or release a lot, and attach vendor finish reports on return.

For stores and dispatch

Coils arrive and sheet goes to the blanking press. Plating lots leave and return, and the packed shells are counted against the order.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Coils issued and remaining, with blanks cut and offcut weight
  • Lots by stage with count in, count out and the gap
  • Tool sets by strokes since polish, with sets due
  • Scrap by defect, press, stage and tool set
  • Wall thickness and height readings by lot
  • Plating counts out against counts back, by vendor
  • Orders due with the stage each lot has reached
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Companies that draw cups, cylinders and shells from sheet in several stages
  • Press shops that blank discs and redraw them for cookware, tanks and housings
  • Plants that anneal between draws and need furnace loads tied to lots
  • Shops that maintain punch, die and blank holder sets for dozens of part numbers
  • Firms that send drawn parts out for plating or polishing
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • Shops that only stamp flat parts in a single stroke will find a general press shop product closer.
  • Plants that form long profiles from coil on rolls will find Roll Forming Company Management Software closer.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Part routings

Stage sequences for each part, including how many draws, which anneals and which finish, are entered the way the shop runs them today.

Tool master

Punches, dies and blank holders are loaded with their parts and any strokes already counted, so the register starts with history.

Check sheets

Measured features and how often they are sampled come from your control plan and are agreed with your inspectors.

Outside vendors

Plating, polishing and coating vendors are set up with their usual turnaround and the reports they send back.

Opening data

Your present registers supply the coil stock, running orders and lots on the floor, either typed in or brought over from a file. Totals are checked at go-live.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Where do lost shells show up?

Between two stage counts. Each count is entered by the press crew, and the gap is listed with the reason, such as tear, wrinkle or a measuring sample. Unexplained gaps are highlighted.

Can I tell which coil a lot came from?

Yes. The blanking lot is tied to the parent coil, and every later stage inherits it. A scan of the carton label shows the coil, gauge and temper.

Does it track how worn a draw ring is?

It tracks strokes and service dates per tool. Setters enter counts at changes, and the tool room sets its own limit for polish or replacement.

How are anneal loads recorded?

A load lists the lots and quantities, the furnace, temperature and time, and the operator. If two lots share a basket, the record keeps their counts apart.

Can thin-wall complaints be answered from the system?

The readings taken on that lot are stored with it, so the inspector can show what was measured, where and by whom. It does not replace the customer’s own testing.

Does it handle plating done outside?

Yes. A lot sent out is tracked by vendor and count. When it returns, the count is checked and the coating report is attached before the lot is packed.

Does the software approve parts?

No. It stores the checks your inspectors make and reports your vendors send. Wall thickness limits and acceptance rules are yours, entered from your drawings. Your inspectors make the call.

Do operators need to type a lot of data?

Stage counts and a few readings per lot, entered on a screen near the press. We decide with you which fields each part shows.

What decides the price?

The number of presses, users and outside routes shapes the quotation. You see your own part routing running in a walkthrough, then the proposal arrives in writing.

Can tool and lot data be taken out?

Yes. Lots, coils, tool strokes and scrap logs are exported in files your team can open, with the layout fixed in the quotation.
