CRS' market position in the fabrication of new equipment has been boosted by the introduction of a new vessel costing software package.
CRS' market position in the fabrication of new equipment has been boosted by the introduction of a new vessel costing software package The integration of this software into the West Midlands fabrication facility at Bilston has improved response times and further strengthened CRS' position in the development of its products to include the design and manufacture of bespoke carbon, stainless steel, and high nickel alloy pressure vessels

The software is so useful because it was designed with Bilston's unique package of skills in mind.
The programme uses the customer's specification of the vessel diameter, pressure, corrosion allowance and temperature to compute the necessary thickness.
The costing section then works out the material and labour costs and presents the information as a formalised quotation that takes into account all the needs specified, including nozzle sizes and ratings, supports, linings and heating method.
A delivery date is worked out together with a budget cost within an accuracy of plus or minus 10%.
Systematic vessel costing for Bilston has already proved successful in practice, and the concept has quickly become popular with CRS' customers, especially those who need an instant response.
The programme can be used with ease on the clients' premises, allowing budget predictions to be discussed and adapted face to face with the customer.
The innovation in the software comes at a time when CRS Bilston's drive for the development new products is becoming rapidly established in the market.
The speed of the programme also means that Bilston can integrate new fabrication costs into larger projects as required.
Projects that include the refurbishment of steel and glass-lined vessels and their drive systems, installation and service work, can all be swiftly costed by CRS.
