ERP for process equipment manufacturers.
Pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, columns and tanks are engineered-to-order, code-stamped and customer-approved. ARKcelerate runs the whole build — drawings, BOMs, fabrication, NDT and documentation — on one project.
The problem
Code equipment lives or dies on documentation.
A pressure vessel or heat exchanger is engineered for each order, fabricated to code, inspected at every stage and shipped with a manufacturing data record. The drawings, the BOM, the customer approvals, the RT/UT and hydrotest results, the traceability — all of it has to hang together, per vessel.
Stock-product ERPs were never built for this. So the data book is assembled by hand at the end, traceability is a folder of PDFs, and a single late approval can hold the whole job.
How it works
Built for engineered-to-order vessels.
A custom BOM per vessel
Each vessel, exchanger or tank gets its own bill of materials — plates, forgings, nozzles, internals — versioned as engineering changes.
Customer approvals on every drawing
Track GA and detailed drawing revisions and customer sign-off; the approved version drives the inspections downstream.
Inspection at every stage
Fit-up, NDT (RT/UT/DP), PWHT, hydrotest and final inspection are recorded against the job, against the approved drawings.
Material traceability + costing
Material is purchased and issued against the project with MTC review, and project-tagged costing shows quoted vs actual per vessel.
FAQ
Common questions.
What ERP suits a pressure vessel or heat exchanger manufacturer?
Process equipment is engineered-to-order and inspection-heavy, so it needs an ERP with per-vessel custom BOMs, customer drawing approvals, stage-wise QC/NDT and material traceability tied to the project. ARKcelerate is built for that, rather than a repetitive-production model.
Can it manage customer drawing approvals?
Yes. Drawing revisions and customer sign-offs are tracked, and the approved revision is what the QC inspections check against.
Does it handle NDT and inspection records?
Inspections — fit-up, RT/UT/DP, PWHT, hydrotest, final — are recorded against the job and the approved drawings, so the documentation comes together as the work happens.
