What changes

Today

Whether a procedure covers a joint is decided from memory.

With Worgify

The system computes the qualified ranges and tells you what covers what.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write the procedure against a code edition

  2. 2

    Qualify it and let the ranges be computed

  3. 3

    Qualify welders, carry the designation

  4. 4

    Answer "does this cover it?" as a lookup

What's included

  • Code-aware ranges
  • WPS ↔ PQR/WPQR link
  • Welder qualification
  • Multi-regime reconciliation
  • NDT extent, derived
  • Revision awareness

Details

The steps, explained
  1. Write the procedure against a code edition. The WPS is drafted under one edition of ASME IX, ISO 15614-1 or AWS D1.1 and stays bound to it. When the code changes, you see what changed.
  2. Qualify it and let the ranges be computed. From the PQR/WPQR test values the qualified ranges are calculated — thickness, diameter, position, material group, heat input — rather than transcribed by hand.
  3. Qualify welders, carry the designation. Each welder's qualification is held as a live record with its designation string, its validity window and its continuity evidence — not a PDF in a drawer.
  4. Answer "does this cover it?" as a lookup. For any joint, the procedures and welders that cover its variables are the ones the engine returns. The judgement stops being a conversation.
All the features
  • Code-aware ranges. The engine computes qualified ranges from the essential variables. It doesn't generate a PDF and hope.
  • WPS ↔ PQR/WPQR link. Every procedure carries the qualification record that supports it, bound to the code edition it was tested under.
  • Welder qualification. Designation strings built from the qualified variables, with validity and six-month continuity tracked as rules.
  • Multi-regime reconciliation. The same weld presented against more than one code at once — where a variable qualified under one falls short under another is flagged, not hidden.
  • NDT extent, derived. The examination extent the code requires is derived from the class and joint, not decided per job.
  • Revision awareness. When a governing standard changes edition, the records bound to it surface for review.
In depth

Why the range calculation matters

Most welding software produces documents. A WPS comes out as a PDF, a welder card comes out as a PDF, and whether the two are compatible with the joint in front of you stays a human judgement made under time pressure.

The essential variables of a code are rules with arithmetic in them. Thickness ranges, diameter ranges, position coverage, material grouping, heat input limits — all of it is computable from the qualification record.

Once it is computed, the question “does this welder cover this joint” stops being a conversation and becomes a lookup.

That is the difference between a document generator and an engine, and it is the part that is hard to copy. The execution — recording the weld itself as it happens on the floor — lives in Weld execution & tracking, which writes to the joint this module qualifies.
