At the design stage, where information such as the weld ID number
and other design parameters (material type, thickness, joint type, etc.) are
entered.
At welding engineering, where a procedure is assigned. It may also be
possible to identify suitable welders or classes of welders qualified to make
the weld, although this is more likely to be done at the production stage. At
production, where the completion of a weld is registered (usually by entering
the date) and visual inspection carried out and approved.
The system also gives instant progress reporting. Anyone with access
to the system can see how fabrication is progressing. This may be simply by
looking at the weld data sheet on screen or by explicitly programmed
progress reports. These can identify bottlenecks (by, for example, comparing
the number of welds competed with the number of weld radiographed), or
help to produce reports for stage payments in large projects.
It also provides automatic assignment of welding procedures and
welder. If enough information is supplied at the design stage, the system
searches through a database of procedures for suitable welding procedure
specifications (WPSs). This may be a single WPS of a number from which to
choose from, with a click of a mouse button. Having chosen a suitable WPS,
the system searches through WPQs for qualified welders. If necessary, the
system can list welders in order of their certificate expiration dates; with
those due to expire soonest at the top of the list; so maximum benefit can be
made of extending their qualification.
The system can also produce reports on repair rates per welder (to
identify training requirements), by procedure (to highlight defect-prone
procedures) or by any other measure, providing the relevant data are
recorded.
It also automatically generates document packs on completion of a
project. A very time-consuming task manually, it's again ideally suited for
computerization. With the click of a button, the system can print the weld
maps for a project, along with all the WPSs used (with backup procedure
qualification records (PQRs) if necessary and all the WPQs, which are
updated automatically based on satisfactory production welds. In addition, if
NDE specifications have been used to report testing, the system can print
relevant NDE reports as well. This information can also be archived on CD.
It can also instantly trace production welds to the information backing
them up. If the inspector wants to see a WPS that was used on a weld, or
proof that the welder was suitably qualified, this can be done with the click of
a button. This can be especially useful while inspection a structure after a
number of years of service. If a defect is found, the engineer can access the
