Refinery ERP
Refining and press units, reconciled end to end — input lot to pure bar, with recovery and sweeps fully accounted.
Input fine = output fine + loss
The only equation that matters. Every batch must close on it, and the system will not let a batch quietly fail to.
Assay in, assay out
Both assays are recorded against the same lot, so the purity upgrade is a measured fact rather than an assumption.
Sweeps are stock, not scrap
Dust, sweeps and polish waste are tracked as recoverable inventory with their own recovery cycle and value.
Built around the assay, not around a stock table
A refinery is judged on one number — recovery. Every screen here exists to make that number provable.
Input Lot Registration
Customer, source, gross weight, declared purity and photographs captured the moment metal arrives.
Assay Management
Pre-melt and post-melt assay values with method, technician and sample reference — the audit trail an argument needs.
Melt & Press Batches
Group lots into a melt, run the press, and split output bars back to contributing lots by fine-weight share.
Recovery & Loss
Recovery percentage per batch against your allowed tolerance, with a flag the moment a batch breaches it.
Dust & Sweeps Cycle
Collect, accumulate, send for recovery and post the returned fine metal back — sweeps stop being a black hole.
Certificates & Reports
Refining certificate with input, assay, output and charges — generated from the batch record, not typed afresh.
Customer Refining Ledger
Fine-metal balance per customer: what they gave, what was returned, what is still with you — always current.
Charges & Settlement
Refining charge per gram or per lot, wastage terms and payment settlement, applied as rules per customer.
Six steps, and the batch must close
- 01
Receive
Input lot registered with gross weight, declared purity and customer.
- 02
Assay In
Sample assayed; true fine weight of the input is established.
- 03
Melt / Press
Lots batched, melted and pressed; output bars produced and weighed.
- 04
Assay Out
Output assayed; upgraded purity and output fine weight recorded.
- 05
Reconcile
Recovery computed against tolerance; residue routed to the sweeps cycle.
- 06
Return
Pure metal returned or credited, certificate issued, ledger settled.
Where refining loses money quietly
Recovery percentage calculated at month-end, when a bad batch is long gone.
Recovery is computed per batch, at close, and flagged the moment it breaches tolerance.
Output bars cannot be traced back to whose metal made them.
Output splits back to contributing lots by fine-weight share, so every bar has a lineage.
Sweeps sit in a drum for a year with no book value.
Sweeps are tracked as inventory with their own recovery cycle and posted value.
Customer disputes come down to two different notebooks.
One ledger, both assays, an append-only trail — the record settles the argument.
Refining is one step in a longer chain
Metal arrives from a Bullion trade or from your own Manufacturing floor, travels under Secure Delivery, and every batch that breaches tolerance raises an alert through AI & Automations — without anyone having to open a report.
