STRATIX offers comprehensive functionality for flat-rolled (or ‘strip’) companies. This includes specialized layout functions for slitting, cut-to-length, multi-strand blanking, oscillating, and shearing. Each layout uses a special shop floor production recording system with barcode scanning to improve accuracy and streamline the recording function.
STRATIX accommodates all metals (carbon, alloy, aluminum, stainless, titanium, copper and brass, etc.) across all metal forms (angles, bars, structurals, pipe and tubing, plate and sheet, wire mesh, rebar, coil, etc.).
