Unified welding management software
THE unified WeldEye software decreas-
es the time spent on documentation
and gives those involved in welding
processes an insight into the work being
done.
WeldEye is developed byWeldindustry
and Kemppi, and integrates two welding
management software systems:
Kemppi’s ARC System 3 (KAS3) and
Weldindustry’s Weldeye. The software
has wide coverage of different welding-
related processes, and has applications
across industries such as shipbuilding,
oil and gas, automotive, construction,
and machine manufacturing.
“Several industries are now facing
severe cost challenges and are looking
at how to simplify documentation,” said
Jarle Mortensen, chief operating officer
at Weldindustry. “WeldEye is built for
this exact purpose – to help everyone
in the welding value chain document the
work being carried out and to simplify
end project documentation.”
WeldEye provides real-time insight
into the performance of welders and
the progress of projects, as well as
100 per cent traceable compliance with
welding procedures, regardless of which
welding equipment is being used. This
makes it easier to reduce costs, improve
performance and conduct quality
controls. It manages welding procedures
and test results, and the reduction in
manual work gives a claimed 70 per
cent faster documentation process. At
the end of a project, the time spent on
creating documentation can be cut by
weeks or months.
WeldEye is available as an online
cloud service, accessible from com-
puters or smartphones without the need
for software installation, making it easy
to enter information during the execution
of a project. The welding operator can
also get constant feedback from his or
her activities.
In addition to giving full traceability, the
software works as a quality controller
and keeps track of compliance with
international welding standards. The
added transparency also means that
defects can possibly be spotted earlier
and can be fixed immediately.
“If a batch of filler is faulty, WeldEye
knows exactly which welds are done
with that filler batch,” explained Tuomas
Kivisaari, software product manager
at Kemppi. “At the end of the day, this
boosts your efficiency by reducing the
need for repair work. More information
allows project managers to make quicker
and better decisions and simplifies the
documentation process.”
WeldEye is automatically updated
with new standards, ensuring that
work is always compliant with current
demands and standards, including EN
ISO 3834, EN ISO 9606, ASME IX,
AWS, NORSOK and others.
The universal solution works with all
welding equipment brands. It is available
globally, is location independent and
supports many different languages.
WeldEye can also be easily integrated
into existing IT solutions, such as HR
and ERP systems.
