Roll converting software for real-time material tracking, unit conversion, and production control.

Roll converting software helps companies track roll-based materials through receiving, storage, production, conversion, scrap, rework, labeling, packaging, and shipment. BellHawk supports roll converters that need to track materials by roll, sheet, pounds, feet, yards, width, thickness, weight, and customer order.

BellHawk can track materials using multiple units of measure, including pounds, feet, yards, sheets, rolls, pallets, and other material attributes. This helps roll converters manage material transformations without relying on separate manual conversion spreadsheets.

Yes. BellHawk can track butt rolls, leftover materials, recyclable scrap, rework, offcuts, chemicals, and reusable inventory. This helps teams reduce waste, recover material value, and maintain more accurate accounting records.

Yes. BellHawk supports barcode scanning, RFID tracking, label printing, mobile data capture, shared workstations, and connected devices. These tools help identify rolls, sheets, containers, pallets, WIP materials, finished goods, and shipments as they move.

Yes. BellHawk can interface with weighing scales to help calculate material quantities, roll lengths, sheet counts, inventory adjustments, and production usage. This is useful when weight data is needed to estimate remaining material or converted output.

BellHawk supports printing, coating, laminating, slitting, cutting, die-cutting, packaging, kitting, receiving, inventory control, WIP tracking, label automation, quality checks, scrap tracking, and shipping.

Yes. BellHawk can help track customer-owned materials from receiving through production and shipment. This helps converters show what was received, what was used, what remains, what was converted, and what was shipped back to the customer.

MilramX helps exchange validated BellHawk data with ERP, accounting, QuickBooks, Oracle, customer systems, supplier systems, label systems, databases, and reporting tools. It can also support automated alerts, error handling, and decision support workflows.

Yes. BellHawk improves inventory accuracy by capturing receiving, putaway, movements, production consumption, conversions, scale readings, scrap, rework, label events, finished goods, picking, packing, and shipping activity in real time.

Roll converting tracking software is useful for paper converters, plastic converters, film processors, flexible packaging operations, textile processors, woven and non-woven material producers, label printers, coaters, laminators, die-cutters, and specialty material manufacturers.

KnarrTek works from offices in Millbury, Massachusetts and Panama City, Florida, and operates globally, with current accounts in Mexico and Canada. Both offices are reached through the same contact page, phone number, and email, so you get one team for quick, friendly answers.

BellHawk roll converting software may be a strong fit if your team tracks rolls, sheets, pounds, feet, scrap, butt rolls, labels, scale data, WIP, inventory, and shipments manually or through disconnected systems. A workflow review can help identify where barcode scanning, RFID, scale integration, and ERP-connected data would provide the most value.

A material passport is the complete operational history of a roll, sheet bundle, or converted material. It records where the material came from, how it moved, how it changed form, who worked on it, how much was consumed, which labels were printed, what was scrapped or returned to stock, and what shipped to the customer.

BellHawk gives the parent roll its own barcode or RFID identity at receiving. When the roll is slit or converted, each child roll receives its own identity and label, and the record links child rolls back to the parent so the material history stays connected.

Yes. BellHawk can print barcode labels for raw rolls, child rolls, intermediate materials, sheet bundles, customer-owned materials, finished goods, scrap, rework, and shipments, so the label always matches what the material has become.

Standard inventory software tracks item, quantity, lot, and location. Roll converting software, by contrast, has to follow transformations: a roll consumed by weight and issued by footage, split into child rolls, cut into sheets, returned as a butt roll, or scrapped. It keeps those units and states tied to one material identity.

When a roll is weighed, BellHawk can use the reading, along with the material’s known attributes, to estimate remaining length or quantity and update inventory. That reduces manual calculation and helps you see what is left on a partly used roll.

Yes. KnarrTek’s roll converting software can be cloud-based or on-premise: BellHawk Online is the cloud-based, browser-accessed edition, and WIPtracker is the on-premise option for full receiving-to-shipping control. KnarrTek’s team can recommend which fits your IT standards and production areas.

KnarrTek’s white papers by Dr. Peter Green includes papers on tracking sheets, rolls, and lengths of material, preventing inventory errors, inventory tracking versus materials traceability, and barcodes versus RFID for WIP tracking. The links are in the Technical Resources section of this page.

Contact KnarrTek to walk through your roll converting software needs, including materials, units of measure, conversion steps, and labeling needs. The team can show how BellHawk and MilramX would track your rolls and recommend where to start, such as receiving, scale integration, or butt roll and scrap tracking.
