Transformer Radiator Manufacturing
Sheet-fed fin and panel fabrication supplied to transformer OEMs, where every batch has to prove it does not leak.

About this industry
A radiator is made from pressed fins seam-welded into panels and assembled to a header, against a drawing the customer owns. The economics sit in two places: sheet consumption per panel, which is set by nesting and press settings, and the leak test, because a panel that fails after painting has consumed everything except its own value.
Common operational problems
- Sheet consumption per panel is assumed from the drawing rather than measured
- Fin height and panel count vary per customer drawing and are tracked on paper
- Leak-test results are filed by date, so a batch cannot be evidenced later
- Rework after a failed test is absorbed into general production cost
- Painting and galvanising sent outside is not reconciled against issue
- Customer drawing revisions arrive without the build being re-checked against them
Example workflows
Customer drawing and revision captured against the order
Sheet issued against a nesting plan, consumption recorded per batch
Fin pressing and seam welding recorded by batch and operator
Leak test result recorded against the batch and retained
Painting or galvanising job work issued and received with reconciliation
Dispatch with test certificate, challan and e-Way Bill

On RequestWhere a ready product does not reach far enough, these are the needs this industry raises most often. We do not build to order; telling us which of these you need is what shapes what we build next.
- Drawing-revision control tied to the work order
- Batch-linked leak-test records and certificates
- Nesting-plan consumption capture for sheet
