The document describes the process of manufacturing, transporting, coating, laying, welding and tracking pipe using a software system called SpreadBoss. SpreadBoss scans barcodes on pipes at each stage to capture data and validate information. It stores all documentation and data in its database and allows real-time access to information throughout the entire pipe manufacturing and installation process. SpreadBoss helps ensure data integrity by reducing errors, providing up-to-date access to data, and simplifying compliance monitoring.

INFORMATIONFLOW
SpreadBoss®
begins
by capturing data,
documentation and
any maintenance
issues that occurred
at the mill. The
data is stored in
the SpreadBoss
database.
As pipe is loaded for shipment via barge,
truck or rail, SpreadBoss scans each pipe
and runs validation routines to ensure
data integrity.
Docuvista®
uses OCR technology to capture all paper
documents associated with your pipe, so you can easily
store, organize, track and retrieve them through SpreadBoss.
When pipe is received
at the coating mill,
SpreadBoss again
scans each pipe as it is
unloaded and runs
validation routines.
Once all pipe is received and accounted for, FBE/ARO/CWC
coating begins. SpreadBoss scans, checks and validates our
barcode/RFID, then enters all phase-specific information
into database.
Pipe is then shipped from the
coating facility to the laydown
yard. SpreadBoss scans each
pipe and runs validation routines
to ensure data integrity and
verify shipment.
As pipe is received at the
laydown yard, SpreadBoss
again scans each pipe as it is
unloaded and runs validation
routines.
As pipe is received at the
spread, SpreadBoss again
scans each pipe as it is
unloaded and runs
validation routines.
Pipe is stored in the
laydown yard until
needed. Pipe is
checked to make
sure barcodes are
in place and all
documentation is
accounted for.
Weather forecasts and
joint locations are
always accessible.
Pipe is then shipped from the laydown yard to the
appropriate spreads for stringing. SpreadBoss scans
each pipe as it is loaded running validation routines.
Data is captured on
reports and entered into
our document control
system, and can be
included in final reporting
for as-built.
SpreadBoss
interfaces with
almost any system.
It captures shot
points, weld numbers, NDE data and other data in the
field, so you can access it in real time, as it’s being
collected. The graphic interface give you a vivid picture of
your entire spread, and all the survey/as-built data is
integrated to create one seamless flow of data.
Each joint is
scanned at
stringing, and the
data is compared
against the ID
stencil, OD stencil
and the barcodes.
GPS and Station ID’s are recorded to
identify where a joint was originally strung out. If
needed, ‘sight-readable’ barcodes can be placed
onto joints for future tracking and reading.
Each joint is welded
and assigned a
number. SpreadBoss
captures all welding
and NDE data, and
records the weld
number and the up
and down joints.
Validation routines are run to ensure
the multiple data points are 100%
accurate. Welding procedures and
welders can also be recorded.

Once data and documents are
entered into SpreadBoss, they can
be accessed by approved users
anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re
verifying the billing and delivery of
a recent shipment, or trying to track
down 5-year old pipe from a faulty
heat, the information you need is
always just a few clicks away with
SpreadBoss.

SpreadBoss protects the integrity of
your data on a number of fronts: It
reduces human error by minimizing
manual data entry. It makes data
available in real time, as it’s collected,
so your team is always working with
up-to-date information. Monitoring
compliance for specification and
regulatory standards is simplified. Data
integrity is more important than ever
and SpreadBoss is the best way to
ensure and protect it.
