Inside Welding
Weld execution & tracking
The weld map: every joint, who welds it, with what, and its status.
For shop supervisors and welding coordinators.
What changes
Who welded what sits between a sheet, a whiteboard and memory.
Every joint has welder, procedure, material and tests, recorded as you work.

Details
The steps, explained
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
All the features
- 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.
In depth
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.
