Many different types of metals companies use AXIOM. Below are various industry segments with an example of a key aspect of the application as it pertains to that industry:

Fasteners	The ability to schedule and sequence production by fastener attributes such as diameter, grade, thread type, head markings, length. Attribute-based scheduling minimizes downtime due to setup and consequently reduces lead time and cost.
Forgers	The ability to trace each forging operation by operation, not only to an ingot number, but to a specific cut off an ingot. For heat treating operations, traceability is provided to the specific furnace lots in which the forgings were treated.
Casters/Melt Shops	The ability to have the system produce a melt/cast schedule based on the current demand in house.
Stampers	The ability to report the tooling required to support current production schedules, highlighting potential conflicts in which a particular tool is required by multiple jobs concurrently, or in which there is insufficient lead time to reconfigure or repair a tool.
Atomizers	The ability to track wall splash and other revert material generated at the furnace, and as a result of screening operations. Also, the ability to have the system produce an atomize schedule based on the current demand in house.
Coatings/Plating	The ability to predefine quality standards and have the system automatically know when you are out of tolerance for coating weight, plating thickness, etc.
