Mill Certificate
Traceability with PO-Line-Item Matching

No practical limit. We have processed 180,000+ certificates for a single project. Processing scales horizontally based on project volume. Sustained throughput of 5,000+ certificates per day per client is routine.

GoSmarter MillCert and Certivo serve the metals manufacturing and distribution industry. They extract MTR data but do not match certificates to EPC purchase-order line items, do not validate against project piping specifications, and do not generate IBR / PESO / OISD-118 compliance registers. Pathnovo is the only MTR traceability service built around the EPC procurement and QA workflow.

Yes. Pathnovo auto-populates the IBR Form IV material register for boilers and pressure vessels, tags each item with its IBR classification, links to the mill certificate, links to the vendor's IBR Form III, and flags any traceability gap. This is the only automated IBR register workflow available anywhere.

Multi-heat certificates (e.g. a single MTR listing 12 heats totalling 48 MT of pipe, distributed across 5 PO lines) are decomposed heat-by-heat. Each heat is extracted with its own chemistry, mechanical properties, weight and linkage metadata. PO matching happens at the heat level, not the certificate level. This is the hardest category of MTR automation, and it is fully supported.

Any format: digital-born PDF, scanned PDF at any DPI, photographed certificate from a mobile camera, faxed document, emailed image. Any language: English, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Devanagari (Hindi), Cyrillic. Handwritten certificates from regional mills are supported. Pathnovo's training set covers 180,000+ unique mill formats worldwide.

Full chemical composition (C, Mn, Si, P, S, Cr, Mo, Ni, V, Cu, N, plus trace elements per grade), mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area, impact energy at specified temperature, hardness), heat-treatment condition, dimensional data, surface condition, heat number, heat lot, mill name and address, certificate number and date. Each field is validated against the applicable material specification (ASTM / ASME / EN / IS / JIS / GB) and the project PMS.

Gap reports are formatted to the exact format expected by TÜV SÜD, Bureau Veritas, SGS, Lloyd's Register, DNV, HSB, and IRS inspection agencies. Missing certificates, chemistry deviations, mechanical property failures, missing witness signatures, and traceability breaks are all flagged with the specific clause reference. Submit the report as-is for inspection review.

AIM population workflows are included on every paid tier of the credit-based pricing model. A mid-size revamp project typically sits on Professional (5,000 credits/month) or Scale (25,000+ credits) depending on document volume. Large greenfield EPC projects with multi-asset coverage move to Enterprise on 3-year contracts with one-time data-room ingestion sized per asset count. IBR / PESO register generation is included on Scale and Enterprise. Indian PSU rate cards accommodated. See our pricing page for full plan details.

For pure extraction (structured MTR data), no; the PO register is only needed for PO-matching. You can use Pathnovo for MTR extraction and validation, and then do PO-matching later as a second pass. Most clients provide the PO register at project kickoff so matching happens continuously as certificates arrive.

All major mill-producing geographies: India (JSW, JSL, Jindal, SAIL, Tata, regional IBR-certified mills), Europe (Thyssenkrupp, ArcelorMittal, Salzgitter, Outokumpu), Japan (Nippon Steel, JFE, Sumitomo), Korea (POSCO, Hyundai), China (Baosteel, HBIS, Ansteel), USA (Nucor, US Steel, Cleveland-Cliffs), Middle East (Emirates Steel, Hadeed), Russia (Severstal, NLMK, MMK). Regional and speciality mills processed with the same pipeline.
