17 Read the first part of the article Moving Weld Management from the
Desk to the Desktop and say if the following is true or false.
1. There are a lot of computer programs for welding engineers.
2. It is more important to have a deep understanding of software development
than the technology being computerized.
3. Most existing software systems in the fabrication industry are tools for
large companies.
4. The first database management systems could not create new procedures
for new application.
Moving Weld Management from the Desk to the Desktop
Part 1. Computers as Welding Expert Systems
Welding engineers have managed welding procedures and welder
performance qualifications using computers for some years now. Engineers
now readily access vital information - no more searching through piles of
paper. They can easily develop procedures and qualifications through on-
screen editing, get advance warning of expirations and produce a
professional-looking document in the end. Most fabricators now have local or
wide area networks so sharing information between key personnel is easier
than ever before. Computers can integrate management of procedures and
qualifications with production weld information and quality control (QC)
data, and so the benefits abound.
Computers have always been good at storing, sorting and searching
through large amounts of data, making them suitable for pure database
applications. Such applications have required the user to know certain
parameters, with little or no help from the software. In welding, such systems
have been used for managing welding procedures and welder performance
qualification. But, to date, most have had limited, if any, expertise in
welding.
The problem with building expertise into software it is necessary to
have a deep understanding of both software development and the technology
being computerized. In the welding industry, this includes metallurgy,
engineering, production, quality control and standards. Standards are
particularly important, as many aspects of fabrication are specified via
national and international standards, such as ASME IX, AWS D1.1, EN
287/288 AND ISO 9000.
