Fidar MES
Steel Fabrication Shop Floor Software
Fidar MES runs the steel fabrication shop floor end to end, from Tekla BOM extraction to offline production tracking and weld-to-part traceability.
It covers welder/procedure (WPS-WPQ) and NDT/coating quality control with nonconformance (NCR/CAPA) workflows, plus a browser-based 3D model viewer tied to live part status.
Every write is audited and every screen ships bilingual (Persian/English) help, built for factories where the network is unreliable and the paper trail has to be airtight.
Features
Tekla → BOM
Plugin pulls the model straight into a structured bill of materials, no manual re-entry.
Offline Shop Floor
PowerSync-backed stations keep logging progress through network drops, sync on reconnect.
Weld-to-Part Traceability
Heat numbers, welder qualifications, and NDT results linked to every part.
QC: WPS-WPQ, NDT, Coating
Procedure/qualification checks, inspection records, and NCR/CAPA nonconformance flow.
MRB Reports
Manufacturing record book generated straight from the audit trail (PDF).
Planning & Nesting
Production scheduling and material nesting to cut waste.
Procurement & Tender
Material requisition and tender workflows tied to the BOM.
3D Model Viewer
Browser IFC/Fragments viewer, parts coloured by live production status.
KPI Dashboards
Station WIP, throughput, and quality metrics in real time.
RBAC & Full Audit
Operator/planner/manager/admin roles; every write is logged.

Key advantages
Built for the shop floor, not the office
Offline-first stations survive real factory network conditions.
Tekla-native
BOM comes from the model your engineers already build, not a spreadsheet re-entry.
Audit-grade traceability
Every part traces back to heat number, welder, and inspection record for MRB delivery.
Self-hostable / air-gapped friendly
Runs on dedicated infrastructure; the optional AI assistant is the only cloud dependency and stays off by default.

Frequently asked questions
What is Fidar MES?
Fidar is a manufacturing execution system for steel fabrication. It extracts the BOM from Tekla models, tracks production at each shop-floor station, runs welding, NDT and coating QC with NCR/CAPA, and shows parts in a browser 3D model coloured by live status.
How does the Tekla integration work?
A .NET plugin for Tekla pulls the model straight into a structured bill of materials, so nobody re-types part lists into a spreadsheet. Procurement, tender and nesting then work from that BOM.
What happens when the factory network drops?
Stations are offline-first. They are backed by PowerSync and keep logging progress while disconnected, then sync when the connection comes back.
What traceability does Fidar record?
Each part links to its heat number, the welder and their WPS-WPQ qualification, and its NDT and inspection results. Every write is audited, and the manufacturing record book (MRB) is generated as a PDF from that audit trail.
How much does Fidar cost?
The Project plan is $199/month for up to 2 concurrent projects; the Factory plan is $449/month with unlimited projects and users plus planning, nesting, procurement, the 3D viewer and KPI dashboards. The on-premise licence is a one-time $8,900 with 1 year of updates and support, renewing at 20% a year.
Can Fidar run air-gapped?
Yes. It is self-hostable on dedicated infrastructure. The optional AI assistant is the only part that needs a cloud service, and it is off by default.
