PypeServer Cloud+: Smarter Fabrication for SMACNA Contractors

Most MEP fabrication shops are running at least three systems that don't talk to each other: one for design, one for the shop floor, and one for the field. Worse, they're often running entirely different software for the wet side (pipe) and the dry side (sheet metal).

PypeServer's Cloud+ was built to fix that. And now, that full-platform visibility officially extends to sheet metal and ductwork, connecting your BIM model, your machines, and your field team on a single platform.

Henson Robinson Company put this to the test on both of their duct shops. According to Derek Miller, VDC/BIM Mechanical Duct Designer, bringing pipe and sheet metal under one platform meant the team could manage workflows without teaching each trade a different practice, simplifying implementation and training across the board. Every duct package now gets a QR code, letting the shop track status with a scan from a tablet, phone, or computer. That replaced the manual spreadsheet tracking that used to cause typos, missing information, and time-consuming phone calls to sort it all out. As Derek put it: "This has been a game changer for tracking through our shops."
