One system from compound batch to tagged hose assembly.
Hose orders, compound batches, mandrel and braid planning, autoclave loads, proof and burst tests, ferrules, couplings and finished assemblies sit on one record. Every length carries its batch, its cure and its test result, so a returned hose leads back to the mixer, the coil and the load it was cured in. Every bench reads the same job.
- Hose types, pressure ratings and test limits entered from your own data sheets
- Open orders, mandrel list and coupling catalogue migrated
- Tag and certificate layouts matched to the ones your buyers know
A hose plant plans orders against mandrel bores and braid stock, then logs compound batches, autoclave loads and pressure tests in one system. Each hose length keeps its batch, cure and test result. Crimped assemblies follow the drawing revision, and tags and packing lists print from the record.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Order and drawing
The buyer’s order is entered against hose type, bore, length, coupling and drawing revision. Special marking and tag text are recorded with it, so nothing waits on a phone call from the bench.
- 2
Planning
The planner reserves mandrels, reinforcement and compound for the order and fixes the autoclave load. Shortfalls show as purchase requests for braid or spiral wire, well before the wrapping table is set.
- 3
Mixing and extrusion
Compound batches are released after their rheometer check. Each extruded tube coil receives a number that links it to the batch used, and that number rides with it into the braider.
- 4
Reinforcement and cure
Braided or spiralled lengths are wrapped with cover, loaded on mandrels and cured in the autoclave. The load records its cycle and every length inside it, so a serial leads to its cure.
- 5
Test and assembly
Lengths are stripped off the mandrel, cut and proof tested. Samples go to the burst rig, and passed hoses move to the crimp bench for coupling fit and a final leak check.
- 6
Tag and dispatch
Tags, packing lists and test certificates print from the record. The delivery note closes the order, and the batch trail stays attached to it for any later claim.
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.
- Production Planning
Orders are scheduled against free mandrels by bore and autoclave day, so the planner sees a clash before the wrapped lengths are ready.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Each mixed compound batch is numbered, and the coils and hose lengths made from it carry that number all the way into the field.
- Bill of Materials
A hose type lists its tube compound, reinforcement layers, cover and coupling, so braid, wire and rubber needs follow from the ordered length.
- Quality Control
Bench readings are checked against the limits set for that hose type, and a length that leaks at proof pressure is held with its reason.
- Work Order Management
Each assembly job shows coupling, ferrule and crimp diameter for the current drawing revision and records who built it on which die set.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Braid reels, spiral wire spools and cover compound are counted by lot, with every issue to the line posted against the order it fed.
- Order Management
Orders carry drawing revision, marking text and promised date, and revisions reach the floor as new jobs rather than as phone calls to the supervisor.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See orders on the line, autoclave occupancy, reinforcement stock, rejects by hose type, and what is billed against what has been delivered to each buyer.
For planners
Reserve mandrels and reinforcement, schedule autoclave loads, and watch which orders are held for a missing coupling or a late spool of spiral wire.
For the mixing and extrusion crew
Release compound batches and number the tube coils. Each coil shows the orders it feeds, so the extruder crew knows which bore to run next.
For test bench operators
Enter pressure, hold time and burst results against each length. Tag the ones that pass, and hold the ones that leak at the ferrule or weep through the cover.
For the crimp bench and dispatch
Crimp each assembly to the revision on the job, pack what the order calls for, and print the paperwork that rides with the box.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Orders by hose type, bore, coupling and promised date
- Compound batches and the coils and lengths made from each
- Mandrel use by bore across the autoclave week
- Proof and burst results with rejects by cause and hose type
- Braid reels and spiral wire spools issued against orders
- Coupling and ferrule use by assembly drawing and revision
- Offcuts and coils held by bore and grade
Who this is built for.
- Plants that extrude, braid and cure industrial rubber hose
- Makers of hydraulic and air hose assemblies for machine builders
- Hose makers who supply cut lengths and crimped assemblies together
- Manufacturers of fuel, water and chemical transfer hose in lengths and coils
- Workshops that build assemblies from bought-in bulk hose
When it is not the right choice.
- A shop that only cuts and crimps hose from bought coils on request can start with a simpler assembly register.
- Plants whose main product is moulded rubber parts or belting will find Industrial Rubber Parts Manufacturer Management Software or Conveyor Belt Manufacturer Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can it follow one hose back to its compound batch?
Yes, when the extruded coil carries a number. That number links to the mixed batch, the reinforcement used, the autoclave load and the proof test on the finished length, all from one search.
Does it plan mandrels?
Yes. Mandrels are held by bore and length with their current status. The planner assigns them to an order before the wrapped lengths reach the autoclave, so double booking shows early.
How are autoclave loads recorded?
An operator opens a load, adds the lengths placed inside and enters cure time and conditions. The chart reference is saved with the load. The recorder itself is not read automatically.
Can pressure test limits differ by hose?
Yes. Working pressure, proof factor, hold time and burst minimum are set per hose type by your engineers. The screen checks each keyed result.
Do crimped assemblies follow the drawing?
Yes, the assembly job shows the coupling, ferrule and crimp diameter for the revision on the order. A newer revision replaces the old one for new jobs only, never for jobs in progress.
What happens to a hose that fails the proof test?
It is held with the reason noted. The planner can scrap it, cut it back to a shorter length or send it for rework, and the decision stays on the record.
Can our buyers receive test certificates?
Yes, the bench entries feed a certificate whose layout mirrors the paper your buyers already receive. Sending it by email is available from the same screen as the tag print.
How does bulk hose differ from assemblies?
Coils issue by length and grade. Assemblies are separate items built from a hose length and fittings, each with its own serial and its own crimp record.
What will a quotation depend on?
Price follows how many bench stations run, which test steps you want logged and how much history moves over. We show it on your hose types first, then quote.
Can records be taken out of the system later?
Yes. Orders, compound batches, cure loads and pressure readings can be written out to a file whose layout you choose at the outset, so nothing is locked behind the screen.
