Weld execution & tracking
The weld got made, but the record of who welded it, under which procedure, with which consumable and heat, is scattered across a traveller, a whiteboard and someone's memory — and reassembled at handover.
How it works
- 01
Break the job down to joints
Assembly to sub-assembly to joint. Every weld on the structure has an identity before anyone strikes an arc.
- 02
Assign a welder in range
A welder can only be put on a joint their qualification covers. The check happens at assignment, not when the auditor asks.
- 03
Log the weld as it happens
Consumable lot, parent-material heat, parameters, preheat and interpass, PWHT — one entry on the floor, reused by every downstream record.
- 04
Carry NDT and repairs on the joint
The examination result sits on the joint it belongs to; a repair is a weld with a history, not an overwrite of the original.
What it covers
The weld map
Every joint on the assembly with its procedure, its welder and its examination status, at a glance.
Assignment in range
Welders are offered for a joint only where their qualification covers its variables — enforced, not advisory.
Weld log
Consumable lot, heat number, parameters, preheat/interpass and PWHT captured once, at the point of work.
NDT status per joint
Pass, pending or fail against the joint, feeding the dossier and opening a nonconformity on a fail.
Repairs with a history
A repair weld keeps the original on record — the story, not a silent overwrite.
Live handover progress
As joints are welded and examined, the dossier fills — you watch it while the steel is still on the floor.
The record is a by-product of the work, or it is a reconstruction
A weld is a physical act with a paper tail. Done well, the tail is written once, on the floor, by the person doing the work: this joint, this welder, this procedure, this consumable lot, this heat, these parameters. Done the usual way, it’s a traveller that gets transcribed later, a whiteboard that gets photographed, and a fortnight at the end spent making the two agree.
This module owns the execution: the assembly broken down to joints, welders assigned only where their qualification covers the joint, and the weld logged as it happens. The qualification it checks against lives in Procedures & welder qualification; the sealed pack it feeds is the handover dossier.
