2 Save money by dramatically reducing reinforcement scrap Make the best use of your machinery and employees Eliminate fabrication errors and mistakes Create comprehensive, easy-to-read bar bending schedules, bundle tags, and management reports About asa. asa is the world s leading provider of software for the reinforcing steel industry. asa automates nearly every step of the reinforcing steel process from estimating and bar bend schedule creation, to tagging, computer optimized shearing, and material tracking. Small and large rebar fabricators, contract rebar estimators and rebar detailers, engineering firms, and placing firms all benefit from asa software solutions. Modular, integrated system grows with your company s needs Experience we ve been developing rebar software since 1969 Complete solution provider hardware, IT services, training, and support Worldwide service office in India to serve your needs; additional locations in the U.S., Australia, Latin America, and the Middle East

3 Automate all phases of reinforcement fabrication without wasting time, material, or manpower. Our core modules B C Bar List asa s built-in error-checking, advanced editing features, and automatic engineering calculations make listing material fast and simple. From a single list of material, you can generate a wealth of comprehensive, professional documents, including a comprehensive bar bending schedule. Tagging asa Production creates tags, fabrication reports, and load checkoff lists for each order that you produce. asa-generated equipment interfaces automate your machinery with electronic instructions, nearly eliminating setup time and greatly reducing the chance of human error. Computer Shearing asa Computer Shearing saves time and material by giving your shop crew specific instructions for cutting, packaging, and handling each bundle of steel with maximum efficiency. The program optimizes your material lists and calculates the most effective cutting combinations so you can eliminate costly scrap. We have seen a big difference in our scrap rates since we implemented asa. Also, asa software helps us track and make better use of our offcuts. J.

4 List material faster and with greater accuracy Time-saving features and built-in error-checking help you create mistake-free material lists faster. Never enter the same information twice Previously entered customer and job information is automatically available to Bar List. Bar List Split, Get Bar List Data, and Save As tools allow you to easily move and copy takeoff from one list to another. Eliminate hand-drawn shapes All industry standard shapes are built into the system, plus you can draw and define your own custom special bends using asa Shape Manager. Shape illustrations automatically display on tags and reports. Automate all calculations Quantities, hook lengths, slope dimensions, and radius dimensions are automatically calculated and filled in for you even for user-defined shapes. Generate multiple reports from a single source Enter details once. A multitude of management, fabrication, and placing reports are generated from a single material list. Keep office, shop, and field crews informed Messages and special notations entered in Bar List allow you to communicate effectively via the bar bend schedule and other asa-generated reports.

5 Sample Production Results: Typical Manual Calculations Sample Production Results: asa Computer Shearing Offcuts 5% Scrap 5% Offcuts 1.1% Scrap 0.6% Produced Material 90% Produced Material 98.3% When shop employees calculate cutting combinations manually, you can lose 5% or more of your material on unusable scrap. asa Shearing automatically calculates the most efficient cutting combinations, so very little material goes to waste. This savings provides a huge return on your investment. Results will vary based on stock lengths, cut lengths, quantities, machinery, job requirements, and other factors. Achieve total shop management Easy-to-read schedules, tags, and reports guide your crew through the entire fabrication process, from shake-out, to cutting, tagging, crane calls, bending, end preparation, material movement, and trailer loading. Boost production rates and reduce scrap Material yield, shop environment, and time are all considered in asa s computer-generated shearing instructions. Prevent shortages asa creates handy check-off sheets to verify that each required bundle of steel is loaded for shipment and nothing gets left behind. asa s Material Tracking module can be added to automate this process even further. Get more from your machinery By automating your equipment with asa-generated instructions, you eliminate the need for an operator to manually enter details, saving time and reducing the chance of errors. For the ultimate in productivity, connect to the asa Opto-Shear Console. Take the guesswork out of material handling Based on parameters that you define, the system automatically assigns items to the appropriate shearline or off-coil machine. Easy-to-apply production options let you override the default assignment when a machine is down or over-capacity.
