Streamline Sheet Metal Processes

Harness the power of Stratus to masterfully craft your assemblies in AutoCAD, Revit, or directly within Stratus, then seamlessly manage the surrounding workflows in the cloud. Experience unparalleled automation in item numbering, dimensioning, and document generation, streamlining tasks and enabling meticulous organizational control from BIM to reality workflows.

Stratus adeptly manages the fabrication of sheet metal systems by enabling the generation of MAJ files that directly feed manufacturing tools, ensuring a seamless transition from design to production. With its robust publishing capabilities, it integrates effortlessly with industry-standard tools like CAMduct and ESTmep, enhancing the flow from digital drafting to physical creation. This connectivity not only streamlines production but also ensures precision in the manufacturing process, allowing for more efficient use of materials and resources.

You won't have to exchange multiple emails to select and approve spool drawings anymore. With a cloud-based system, you can choose your field joints and see exactly how the fabrication will appear at the job site. Plus, features like auto-tagging and auto-dimensioning help you save time by streamlining digtal workflows.

Stratus elevates project oversight with its robust status tracking, enabling real-time visibility and control of each phase of construction. This streamlined control mechanism ensures that every team member stays informed and aligned, driving efficient and synchronized project progression.

Stratus strengthens CAM workflows by creating work package specific MAJ job files that use Fabrication data to guide manufacturing, whether using a plasma table or a coil line to process sheet metal. Furthermore, our Package BOMs enable nesting of linear materials like threaded rod to provide the precise stock amounts needed to complete the work.

Stratus automatically generates company, content, and even tool specific labels for your sheet metal parts, hangers, packages and containers with QR codes for tracking and customizable information for installation.

Assembly stations can go completely digital with Stratus.  Shop crews can work directly from model components with ability pull any additional information or dimensions needed on the assembly.  Teams work directly from digital assemblies without the need for PDFs, or shop drawings saving valuable time in your BIM departments.

Packages of duct can be grouped together and, using Stratus labels and scanners, assigned to a shipping container – this can be a cart, a pallet, a truck, etc.

A fabrication shop does not work in isolation while production schedules and prioritization need to be closely aligned with the onsite project status.  Stratus Flex extends part, package and container tracking, model access, and QR scanning to the field – all of which work both online and offline.
