FAQs for the Introduction Section

📘 FAQs for the Introduction Section#


1️⃣ What is Fabritec and what problem does it solve?#

Fabritec is a fabrication management platform that centralizes Production, QC, Routing, Drawings, Shipping, and Tracking in one system.
It replaces manual spreadsheets, WhatsApp communication, and disconnected tools with real-time visibility, structured workflows, and accurate production data — reducing errors, delays, and miscommunication across departments.

2️⃣ Who should use Fabritec in my organization?#

Fabritec is used across the entire fabrication workflow, including:
Production & Factory Teams
Planning & Operations
Quality Control (QC)
Technical Office / Engineering
Document Controllers
Shipping & Yard Teams
Project Managers & Coordinators
Each role has dedicated permissions and workflows that help them perform their tasks more efficiently.

3️⃣ Do I need to configure anything before creating my first project?#

You can create a project immediately, but ideally you should configure your factory structure first:
Production Stages
WorkStations
Labour & Labour Titles
Categories
Routes
Setting these up ensures that once a project enters production, everything runs smoothly without delays or missing configurations.

4️⃣ What is the basic structure of a project in Fabritec?#

Every project follows the same logical hierarchy:
Project → Building → Phase → Revisions → Items
A Project contains one or more Buildings
Each Building contains one or more Phases
Each Phase contains Revisions created in the Phase Explorer
Each Revision generates the Final Items used in Production, QC, Shipping, and Reports
This structure ensures traceability from engineering to dispatch.

5️⃣ Is Fabritec suitable for my type of fabrication workflow?#

Yes. Fabritec supports:
Steel structure fabrication
Built-up members
Hot rolled profiles
Mechanical assemblies
Sheet metal fabrication
Custom components
Subcontracted (outsourced) operations
Linear and non-linear workflows
It can adapt to simple workshops or large industrial factories.

6️⃣ How does Fabritec track items in real-time?#

Fabritec uses:
QR codes for scanning items
Workstation updates submitted by authorized operators
Automated stage progression based on Routes
Real-time dashboards for factory-wide visibility
Each action is recorded with timestamps, users, stages, and performance metrics.

7️⃣ Can multiple teams collaborate at the same time?#

Absolutely.
Fabritec is built for multi-user, multi-department collaboration, allowing Production, QC, Planning, Technical Office, and Shipping to work simultaneously without overwriting each other’s updates.

8️⃣ Do I need training to start using Fabritec?#

The platform is intuitive, but training is highly recommended for:
Planning & Production Managers
QC Teams
Technical Office staff
Document control teams
Training ensures correct setup, consistent workflows, and accurate production tracking.

9️⃣ How does Fabritec help reduce errors and rework?#

Fabritec reduces mistakes by providing:
Revision control for BOM and drawings
Mandatory QC checkpoints
Automated routing
Real-time tracking
Centralized documentation
Clear responsibility between teams
This results in fewer fabrication mistakes, better accuracy, and improved project outcomes.

🔟 What kind of dashboards and reports does Fabritec provide?#

Fabritec includes dashboards and reports for:
Production productivity
Stage performance
Phase-level progress
Shipping status
Labour productivity
Backlog & shop load
Managers get clear insights into delays, bottlenecks, output, and overall factory performance.

11️⃣ How long does it take to fully set up Fabritec for our factory?#

Depending on factory size, setup typically takes:
2–5 days for basic configuration (Stages, Routes, WorkStations, Users)
1–2 weeks for full onboarding and workflow alignment
Larger factories may require phased rollout across departments.

12️⃣ Can my customers access progress through Fabritec?#

Yes.
Fabritec provides a Customer Dashboard where clients can:
