Your slitting lines are running.
But which coil is at what stage and for which order?
From mother coil receipt to dispatch — live visibility across every steel processing operation. Track slitting, shearing, levelling, and dispatch with full coil-wise traceability and order status.
Steel processing plants — coil and order visibility live
As featured in PrintWeek India, April 2026
Your Production Flow
Every coil. Every order. Every operation tracked.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Order & Coil Planning
4 stages
Order Received
Customer order confirmed — grade, thickness, width, length, quantity, delivery.
✓ Clicarity: Job ID created, coil allocated, machine scheduled
Coil Procurement
Mother coil procured from steel mill with MTC per order spec.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: wrong grade or thickness received — order held
Incoming Inspection
Coil tested for mechanical properties, surface quality, and dimensions.
✓ Clicarity: Heat number and MTC recorded — full coil traceability begins
Production Scheduling
Orders scheduled on processing lines by priority and delivery date.
✓ Clicarity: Machine queue visible — overload flagged before commitment
02
Primary Processing
4 stages
Pickling / Decoiling
HR coil pickled to remove scale; coil decoiled for processing.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: pickling acid concentration off — surface quality affected
Slitting
Coil slit to required width on slitting machine.
✓ Clicarity: Slit coil weight and width logged — trim waste tracked
Levelling / Straightening
Material levelled to required flatness tolerance.
Shearing / Cut to Length
Material sheared to required sheet or plate length.
✓ Clicarity: Sheet count vs order quantity tracked — shortfall visible live
03
Secondary Processing
3 stages
Blanking / Stamping
Blanks or shapes stamped from sheet where required.
✓ Clicarity: Blank count and scrap percentage tracked per run
Surface Treatment
Oiling, galvanising, or coating applied where specified.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: surface treatment vendor late — dispatch held
Edge Trimming / Deburring
Edges trimmed and deburred per customer requirement.
04
QC & Dispatch
3 stages
Quality Inspection
Material inspected for dimensions, surface, and mechanical properties.
✓ Clicarity: Rejection rate by grade and operation tracked
Packing & Weighment
Material packed, bundled, and weighed for dispatch.
✓ Clicarity: Dispatched weight vs order weight confirmed
Dispatch
Order dispatched with MTC, test certificate, and challan.
✓ Clicarity: Full coil traceability from mother coil to customer delivery
Where Steel Processing Plants Lose Output & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Machine Queue
Late deliveries at 28% — planners promising dates without seeing queue
Tracking pending tonnage per machine showed planners were committing to delivery dates without knowing actual machine load. VMI was 3-4 days higher than promised on 28% of orders. With Clicarity, machine queue is visible before commitment. Late deliveries reduced to 6%.
Late deliveries reduced from 28% to 6%
Coil Traceability
Customer claim — could not prove which mother coil was in their order
A customer raised a quality claim requiring coil traceability. Investigation took 9 days — records were in multiple manual registers. With Clicarity, every slit coil is traceable to the mother coil and MTC. Same investigation: 8 minutes.
Customer claim investigation reduced from 9 days to 8 minutes
Trim Waste
Slit trim waste running 4.8% above standard — nobody measuring it
Tracking weight in vs weight dispatched per order revealed slit trim waste was 4.8% above the standard allowance consistently. Root cause: incorrect slit width setup on one machine. Recalibrated. Trim waste reduced to 0.9% above standard.
Trim waste reduced by 3.9% through measurement and recalibration
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""We used to promise delivery dates without knowing the real machine queue. Now I see pending tonnage per machine before committing to any customer. Late deliveries dropped from 28% to 6% in two months.""

Questions from steel processing businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every coil. Every machine. Before the delivery date is missed.
