Pipe inventory you can verify — without shutting down the yard
Mills, processors, terminals, yards, distributors — when records and reality don't match, operations slow down and exposure grows. YardGAUGE is built for OCTG outdoor inventory.

When the yard doesn't tally, it gets expensive
Large OCTG inventories sit at every custody handoff. When physical stock and system records diverge, the cost shows up as labor, delays, disputes, and write-offs.
- Records and yard counts that don't match
- Full physical counts that tie up crews for days or weeks
- Customer disputes and audit exposure
- Even small gaps represent significant inventory exposure
A 1% discrepancy in a $100M yard is $1M of inventory value that should be understood and reconciled.
Prototypes
OCTG demos on real pipe
Automated pipe counting and drone-based measurement — filmed at a storage yard.
Pipe measurement — before and after
Three people and a tape measure. Or one drone flight and a report.
Drone pass over the yard — structured measurement output.
