Hose Assemblies and Assembly Decoder

Features Specific to the Fluid Power Industry


Managing and assembling products like custom hoses can be a labor-intensive process - and Prophet21 offers a timesaving solution.

Prophet21 tracks the depth of the fitting that covers the hose (cut factor), and tells you how much hose you need for each complete assembly. For example, if a customer requests a 24-inch hose assembly with two-inch couplings, the solution will factor in the length of the couplings and direct your employees to cut a 20-inch piece of hose.

The solution also includes an assembly decoder, in which you can keep records of master item assemblies complete with the different optional components you need to complete each assembly. Prophet21 simplifies the process by allowing your employees to select only the appropriate component for each piece from a pop-up menu. Additionally, Prophet21 factors customer-specific pricing into the final price of the product, saving your employees from the time-consuming task of manually calculating extended prices.

Best of all, because Prophet21 is built on a highly scalable SQL Server database, the number of levels you can build into an assembly is unlimited.
