Unified welding management software
The unified WeldEye software decreases
the time spent on documentation
and gives those involved in welding
processes an insight into the work being
done.
WeldEye is developed by Weldindustry
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 useful 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 computers
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. “This boosts efficiency by
reducing the need for repair work. More
information allows project managers to
make quicker and better decisions.”
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.
