Integrated stock listing enables the designer to get material listings for all the drawings created in AutoSPRINK VR without manual input.  Because of AutoSPRINK VR's built-in intelligence, our industry is now able to comprehensively gather all information needed to produce a complete and concise stock list with the click of a mouse. Built in listing is a revolutionary development offering unprecedented power and flexibility, eliminating the tedious task of manual stock listing.  It's ease of use and completeness greatly surpasses any existing computer generated or stand-alone listing program.

AutoSPRINK VR will guide you through the stock listing process with the Listing Manager, a tool providing a great deal of flexibility without sacrificing ease-of-use.  Start by entering basic job information and, after a few easy to follow steps, AutoSPRINK VR will generate an accurate material list of the drawing.  The lists will be complete with cut pipe and thread reports, optimization, weld sketches, weld and thread pipe labels, make-ons, loose material, hangers, assembly lists, and much more.

Conflicts will be highlighted as a leak, allowing the user to easily identify and correct connection errors during the design phase.  When using AutoSPRINK VR'4s harmonization process, these leaks can also be automatically eliminated as each fitting is verified against the parts database and appropriate fittings are automatically placed at each intersection, along with other clean-up functions and error resolution.  These conflicts and other error resolutions are automatically corrected when the system is not being used during the idle time clean-up function.

Select the Fab Process and Pipe Optimization scheme that matches the way you do business.  Optimize any number of pipes or do the entire project.  Summary Reports show all material, hangers and assemblies used in the job.  Hanger Reports list all material used by hangers and can be bundled (grouped) by Job, Hanger Type, Line or rod length depending on user-defined options.  Detailed reports list and illustrate all relevant information in an easy to follow logical format.  Export reports to Microsoft Word, Excel or plain text for custom formatting.

Weld and Thread Reports are in an easy to read format displaying measurements, quantities, pipe description and pipe direction.  The format is precise and user friendly, diagrammatic and created without error allowing reports to be read quickly.  Thread Reports layout branch lines in an easy-to-read format, increasing the efficiency of the thread shop.  Corresponding listing line numbers are automatically displayed on the drawing.  Weld Reports graphically represent welded outlets, providing all information for accurately manufacturing welded pipe.

Pipe Cut Reports are clean and concise, graphically representing pipe cuts, making pipe cutting a cost saving and error-free operation.  User options can separate pipe, not only by size and type but also by threaded and welded reports for fabrication shops that have separate facilities.

Pipe Labels display either the make-on fitting for threaded labels or a sketch of welded pipe showing where outlets occur, allowing for quick and easy quality control.  Direction arrows appear on these adhesive labels, with corresponding arrows appearing on the shop weld sketch and in the drawing, providing flawless coordination while eliminating confusion for field installation crews.

List Areas may be used to logically divide the job into smaller areas for stock listing.  Material will be grouped within each list area.  Each List Area will have its own set of reports within the Listing Manager.

Flag or select material in a material list for pre-listing so the purchasing department can order long lead items.

Easily add parts like fittings, valves and pumps to the database that automatically generates element drawings to graphically depict the devices entered.  Create your own intelligent hangers that are automatically sized to the pipe size and established roof planes.  Hangers can have an unlimited number of components and have different fastener configurations based on construction type.  Create your own assemblies that allow efficient grouping of parts.  Parts can be assigned a trim package to automatically include required trim and accessory material.  Trim packages are dynamically assigned to parts based on job type to truly make stock listing a push of one button operation.
