One record from order to leak test bench.
Follow cylinder, valve and push-in fitting orders from first enquiry to packed carton on a single record that planners, machinists, assemblers and bench testers all read. Each order carries its ISO 15552 or round-body series, bore, stroke, trunnion or clevis mounting, rod end thread and cushioning code, all keyed from your catalogue. Honed barrels, burnished rods, end caps and seal kits are linked to a serial number through the build and the pressure decay test. Nothing ships unmarked.
- Series, bore, stroke and option codes keyed as printed.
- Part lists, drawings and open orders brought across.
- GullySystem edits rules and test sheets on request.
Pneumatic makers hold configured cylinder and valve orders, honing and burnishing batches, assembly and bench tests on one record, hosted by GullySystem. Each unit is tied to its serial number, drawing revision, seal compound and decay reading, so a complaint leads straight to the bench result and the seal lot.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and configuration
A distributor or machine builder asks for a series, bore, stroke and mounting style such as foot, flange, trunnion or rear clevis. Sales picks the option codes. The rule table rejects any combination engineering never approved.
- 2
Order and planning
The confirmed order expands into barrels, piston rods, end caps, tie rods, cushioning screws and seal kits, which planning compares with rack stock before releasing batches with their drawing revisions.
- 3
Machining
Tubes are sawn and honed to a crosshatch finish, rods turned, ground and burnished, and end caps milled and bored. Each batch records bar lot and first-off.
- 4
Assembly
Assemblers build each cylinder to its configuration, press in the piston, fit the seal kit, circlips and cushioning screws, and stamp the serial number on the barrel. Every unit can be traced by that number.
- 5
Test bench
Every unit is leak tested at working pressure on the bench, some units also get a proof or cycle test, and the reading is stored against the serial number.
- 6
Packing and dispatch
Passed units are boxed to match the order, marked with series and serial range, and packed with a test summary. The packing list is printed from the order itself.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Quote & Proposal Management
Series, bore and stroke option codes are chosen on the quote and carried into the confirmed order without retyping.
- Document Management
Each part keeps its drawing and revision, and the cell opens the sheet that belongs to the batch on its machine.
- Bill of Materials
An order expands into barrel, piston, rod, end caps and seal kit, so planning sees every shortage before a batch is released.
- Work Order Management
Tube sawing, honing and rod grinding are released as batches carrying the cell, the drawing revision and the first-off result.
- Quality Control
Pressure, hold time and decay reading are recorded for each serial number, and a failed unit is held back from packing.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Every cylinder is stamped with a serial number tied to the barrel lot, the seal kit and the assembler who built it.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Honed tube, ground rod and offcuts are tracked by size and mill lot, with a reorder alert when a bore runs low.
- Job Work Management
Rods sent for hard chrome plating are booked out and back with quantities, so an outside process never loses a batch.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For sales and order desk
Configure cylinders and valves for a distributor, check the allowed combinations, and quote a delivery date against batches already on the machines.
For production planners
Release honing and grinding batches, check tube and rod stock by mill lot, and see which orders wait on seal kits or on a late bar delivery.
For machinists
See the drawing revision, batch size and first-off requirement for the part on the machine, with the tool offset note beside it.
For assemblers and test bench staff
Build to the configuration, fit the right seal kit, stamp serial numbers and record the pressure decay reading against each unit on the bench.
For quality and engineering
Review failed units, release drawing revisions, and follow a complaint back to its seal lot, bar lot and assembler, with first-off sheet and bench record beside it.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Open cylinder orders by series and promised date
- Pressure decay failures by bench and bore
- Honing batches running late against release date
- Seal kit stock against open assembly orders by compound
- Tube and rod stock by size and mill lot
- Returned units by serial number and cause
Who this is built for.
- Makers of ISO 15552 and round-body cylinders
- Valve makers machining bodies, spools and Namur sub-bases
- Air preparation makers assembling coalescing filters and lubricators
- Fitting makers running turning and collet assembly cells
- Firms supplying distributors from stock and made-to-order lines
When it is not the right choice.
- A bench workshop fitting bought-in valves for a handful of local customers, with no machining and no serial numbers to trace, can run on a spreadsheet.
- Hydraulic cylinder makers will find Industrial Pump Manufacturer Management Software or Seal and O-Ring Manufacturer Management Software closer for their records.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can it handle many option codes on one cylinder?
Yes. Series, bore, stroke, rod end, cushioning and mounting come from the catalogue with the combinations your engineers allow, trunnion and clevis styles included. An order outside those rules is flagged.
Does each serial number show its test result?
Yes. Test pressure, hold time, decay reading, bench and tester are stored against the serial number, so one lookup shows the bench result beside the seal kit that was fitted.
How are seal kits chosen for an order?
Each series lists its seal set by compound and temperature range, and the bill of materials pulls that kit rather than one chosen by bore alone.
Can machining go to an outside plater?
Yes. A part can be routed to an outside plater or anodiser and booked back with its lot and quantity, and rejections from that process are recorded against the vendor.
Can the bench machine feed readings in directly?
Some benches can feed readings through a file import set up during implementation, while others are keyed in by the tester, depending on the bench model you run.
What happens to a drawing revision?
From the next release, new batches use the latest revision, while batches already cut stay linked to the revision they were made on.
Can distributors see their orders?
Yes. A distributor login can show order status, serial ranges and delivery notes, and during set-up you decide which orders and documents each distributor may open.
Who keeps the data if we leave?
The part, order and test records belong to you, and before any work starts the quotation names the file format used to hand them back.
How is cost for a pneumatic plant worked out?
Cost grows with the people using it, the benches connected and the routings to build, and a demonstration on your own series comes before a proposal.
