StruM.I.S .NET - Contracts & Document Management

Contracts Management

The Contract folder contains key project information including details of the clients, engineers and architects, together with further more detailed contract specific detail such as paint specifications and material grades. This information is shared across the StruM.I.S .NET system for reference by all departments.

CAD links with StruCad and other systems, including any KISS or CIS/2 compliant system, can automatically populate the StruM.I.S .NET system with material lists, fabrication drawings, 3D StruWalker models and CAM/DSTV data. The individual member's attributes (material grades, batch, paint spec, phase and description, etc.), instantly fill the relevant areas within the system. Thus the errors associated with the repetitive manual entry of data are removed, whilst immediate access to the system is facilitated, improving productivity. Critically, automatic revision control allows new imported CAD material lists to be actioned.

Wherever an assembly or part mark appears within the StruM.I.S .NET system the associated drawings can be viewed instantly, reducing the need to continually print or plot these drawings. For revolutionary further live visual clarification, mark status tracking is also available via the StruWalker model. Thus, with the click of a member on the model, full production status details are available. Alternatively access and location of a mark may be visualised by accessing the live model from the StruM.I.S .NET system.

StruM.I.S .NET includes a comprehensive set of standard reports which may be printed directly or emailed in a wide variety of export formats including Adobe® PDF, Microsoft® Excel® or Word. Further custom reports can be easily created and managed by the user, via an integral active report designer for .NET.


Document Management

The Document Management module is a drawing and document control system, designed to maintain a document database, to generate transmittals for the issue of all new documents and to manage the distribution of revised documentation.

Documents can be uploaded and stored within the database, whilst an integrated Document Search function enables rapid location together with options to automate common tasks. Cover sheets may be created to store the documents status, owner and reason for issue, whilst transmittals are used to track issued documents to recipients for approval or review.
