Flatrolled Steel's state-of-the-art facility includes some of the industry's most sophisticated equipment, including a new Red Bud multi-blanking line with a Herr-Voss leveler that has the ability to recoil a side cut off a multi-blanking order.

In addition to their facility and headquarters in Houston, Flatrolled Steel, Inc. USA has other metal service center locations in Grand Prairie, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The STRATIX software implementation included sales, purchasing, receiving, inventory management, multi-step production, production scheduling, delivery and logistics planning, invoicing, and financials.

The STRATIX software implementation also included a feature to scan the Original Mill Certificate into STRATIX, in order to view the mill certificate for a coil and sheet tag when viewing stock, and enable the automatic printing or email of the Original Mill Certificate, based on the customer profile, at time of shipping.

To handle customer repeat items produced to a specification, Flatrolled Steel will use STRATIXcps, a STRATIX product that stores a comprehensive set of information based on a Customer's Part Number. At Order creation, the CPS parameters are pulled into the Order Item by selecting the appropriate Customer Part Number, to speed up the Sales Order Entry process and prevent user errors.
