Operational control for tubular service

Follow the work.Keep the proof.

From receiving and rack movement to station work, QC, and loadout, pipetrace connects quantities, people, and evidence to the work order.

Request secure evaluation Discuss a paid pilot

Working pilot software for controlled evaluation. Production acceptance remains pending; camera-assisted counting and AI learning are in development.

Where the record breaks

The work happened. The proof is somewhere else.

Travelers, spreadsheets, texts, and memory can each hold part of the truth. pipetrace keeps the quantity and evidence trail attached to the authorized work as it moves.

The work-order trail

One operating thread. Five controlled handoffs.

Quantities, locations, operator events, and exceptions stay connected across the handoffs between the yard, floor, and office.

  1. 01

    Import

    Review work-order imports and retain the source reference.

  2. 02

    Receive

    Confirm the received count, record discrepancies, and assign a rack.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Allocate station work and record production, pauses, and exceptions.

  4. 04

    Reconcile

    Account for good output, holds, rejects, and supervisor corrections.

  5. 05

    Release

    Record QC signoff and prepare the loadout and supporting reports.

AUTHORIZED SOURCEEVENT HISTORYQC RELEASE

Current build · September 5, 2026

A working flow from receiving to release.

These capabilities are implemented in the operational pilot build. Controlled evaluation uses sample data. Production use still requires approved data, physical-device and recovery testing, operational ownership, security review, and signed acceptance.

CAPABILITYWHAT THE BUILD DOESPOSITION
01

Receiving + rack movement

Confirm work-order quantities, review discrepancies, record rack transfers, and retain load-photo evidence.

IN BUILD
02

Station execution

Tablet sessions capture assigned work, production counts, pauses, downtime, rejects, holds, and completion.

IN BUILD
03

Quantity control

Allocation limits, duplicate-event checks, and retained corrections keep counts tied to authorized work.

IN BUILD
04

Explainable dispatch

Recommendations show station capability, qualification, readiness, queue, and setup factors for a supervisor to approve or hold.

IN BUILD
05

Reconciliation + QC

Review good output, held and rejected quantities, resolve variance, and record QC release before closeout.

IN BUILD
06

Evidence + reporting

Private attachments, event history, operational reports, and CSV, spreadsheet, and PDF exports support review and loadout.

IN BUILD
07

Sync + recovery

Tablet events show pending or synced status. Failed or conflicting changes remain visible for review when connectivity returns.

IN BUILD
08

Work-order exchange

Reviewed Global Shop Solutions CSV imports retain source references. Operational exports support reconciliation with the existing ERP.

IN BUILD

“In build” describes implemented software, not field acceptance. pipetrace is not offered as a production system of record today. Your existing ERP remains authoritative during the pilot.

In development · Camera + AI

Capture the load. Help review the count.

The latest development build adds iPhone-oriented photo collection and an experimental AI learning workflow. These features are separate from the sample-data evaluation and still need authorized field trials.

CAPABILITYDEVELOPMENT PROGRESSPOSITION
01

iPhone photo capture

A working development flow collects authorized camera and library photos, checks image quality, and shows online upload progress and retake guidance.

DEVELOPMENT
02

Assisted pipe counting

Manual end markers and experimental model suggestions support count review. An employee independently confirms the received quantity; AI cannot change it.

DEVELOPMENT
03

AI Learning controls

An internal review workflow connects contributed photos, verified labels, training jobs, and model comparisons before a model is considered for a field trial.

DEVELOPMENT

Field counting accuracy has not been established. The model can withhold a suggestion and ask for another view. Real load comparisons and physical iPhone testing must precede field use; human-confirmed receiving stays authoritative.

The paid-pilot question

Can pipetrace make one real operating cell more reliable without slowing the floor down?

Start with receiving through one operating cell, beside the current system of record. Agree on quantity, usability, and recovery measures before expanding.

Shape the pilot
01

Bound the cell

One workflow, named users, defined devices, and approved data.

02

Measure the work

Quantity integrity, adoption, cycle time, exceptions, and recovery.

03

Earn the decision

Signed acceptance, remediation, expansion, or a clean stop.

Who it is for

Independent tubular operations that have outgrown fragmented control.

Product + paid pilot discussion

Bring one difficult workflow. Leave with a practical next step.

A focused 45-minute Microsoft Teams session to review the product, test the fit, and define what a controlled pilot would need to prove.

Arrange a discussion
  1. 10 MIN

    Operating reality

    Where counts, handoffs, exceptions, or evidence break down.

  2. 15 MIN

    pipetrace walkthrough

    Implemented workflows, camera and AI development, and the field acceptance still needed.

  3. 20 MIN

    Pilot decision

    Scope, devices, measures, owners, timing, and the next gate.

Controlled product evaluation

See the workflow first. Decide what is worth proving.

Request a private seven-day evaluation of the operational workflow with sanitized sample data, named access, MFA, reset controls, and built-in feedback. Access is issued after a fit review. Real load imagery and experimental AI field trials require separate approval.
