Customer story · Steel


Hybar originally selected a well-known big-box ERP and MES vendor, then found that system too rigid for its operations once the project began. It pivoted to Fuuz and was live months later with full-stack integrations. Today its entire operation runs on Fuuz from receipt to ship, with full track and trace, and Fuuz is the factory data system that powers AI across the business.

The challenge

## Where They Started

Hybar began its project with a large, well-known ERP and MES suite. Once implementation started, it became clear the system was too rigid to support how the mill actually operates.

- Steel mill processes that did not fit a packaged template
- Raw material receiving by truck and rail
- Suppliers and partners exchanging shipping information by hand
- A need for full track and trace from receipt to ship
What they built on Fuuz

## The Mill's Factory Data System

### Layer 3 MES

Fuuz runs manufacturing execution for the mill, connected to Layer 2 SCADA.

### Supply chain portal

A custom supply chain management portal, built on Fuuz, lets partners submit advance ship notices and other information.

### Scale house

Integration with heavy-haul and rail car scales and rail car RFID readers through the Fuuz Gateway.

### ERP and TMS

The ERP and transportation management system connected through Fuuz.

### Quality control

Quality checks and records on the same platform as execution and warehouse.

### Track and trace

Full traceability across the operation, from receipt to ship.
