Every module — from HRC coil intake to final shipment — was pre-built from real ERW mill-floor experience. Create an account and you're live in under an hour. No consultants. No 12-month rollout. No blank system to configure.
Every supplier sends a different Excel or PDF. minix reads them — heat numbers, sizes, thickness, width, weight, location — and turns them into structured inventory in seconds. No manual re-keying of 120 coils by hand, no format wrangling.
Slitter, entry, mill, NDT, cut-off — production ticks in real time, not tomorrow morning in a PDF. Managers see it on a phone; the floor sees it on a screen.
SAP and EPICOR hand you a blank system plus a $50K+ consultant to configure it over 12–18 months. minix was already built — by people who've run an ERW mill — for exactly your workflow. You just turn it on.
Excel tabs, email attachments, month-end reconciliation. That's how most ERW mills still run — because the "real" software costs $50K+ and a year to ship.
One system. Every department. Real-time data your whole team uses.
Every module was designed by talking to actual ERW mill operators — not generic ERP consultants.
Work orders, shift logs, mill line status. Slitter → entry → mill → NDT → cut-off. Full coil-to-pipe traceability.
HRC coils, skelp strips, finished pipe, processor stock — tracked live. Know what you have, where, and what it's worth.
NDT logs, weld samples, tensile / chemical / hardness tests, claim management. Full API 5L / 5CT traceability built in.
Customer orders, purchase orders, bid watch. Auto-link inventory to orders. See what's committed and what's available.
Generate BOLs, capture driver signatures, manage shipments end-to-end. One-click PDF invoice generation.
AI parsing of supplier sheets, daily production reports, efficiency metrics, downtime & yield. Export to PDF, one click.
