You can now prevent shipping of assemblies and parts until they have completed their full assigned shop floor route. The nominated Shipping Allowed After station must be complete before the item can be shipped in Tekla PowerFab Go.

This eliminates the risk of bypassing required quality checks or stations within the assigned route, ensuring that the finished product meets all internal compliance standards before it leaves the facility.

You will get a warning if you are trying to ship before completing the required stations.

See Manage routes.
