1 Welding quality management MODULE OF WELDEYE WELDING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

2 Welding quality management ACCURATE WELDING QUALITY CONTROL IN REAL TIME In today's world, the demands on constructions have been raised to a new level. With ever larger and more complex projects, how do you confirm welding quality against international standards? Welding procedure specifications (WPS) are the foundation of all quality welding. WeldEye for Welding Quality Management is a universal software solution for verifying welding quality compliance with the WPSs. By collecting welding parameter data digitally from the work stations, the system produces valuable information about basic quality documentation items with traceability down to individual welds. You will also be immediately notified of any welding deviations, which enables real-time quality control and ultimately reduces overhead costs. In addition, the convenient functions for managing welding procedures and personnel qualifications are at your disposal.

3 KEY BENEFITS VERIFIED WPS COMPLIANCE REDUCED REPAIR RATES DECREASE IN NON- WELDING TIME With extensive non-conformance reporting Due to WPS-compliant welding quality Due to automated heat input calculation BENEFITS Reliable verification of full WPS compliance in real time 100% traceability for each weld Suitable for use with welding equipment of any brand Digital data collection enables automated heat input and wire feed calculations, among other things As-built documentation item information about welding quality Automatic non-conformance alerts before and after welding Standard support for global standards Easy-to-use reading device for the welders to use User-friendly dashboard with clear data visualizations Cloud-based software that requires no extra installations and is always up to date when standards are revised Global multi-site management of welding quality via secure cloud service Welding quality management 3

4 BENEFITS FUNCTIONS WELDING PROCEDURES Includes the digital library and management of pwps, WPQR and WPS templates in accordance with the main welding standards. PERSONNEL AND QUALIFICATIONS Includes the processes to manage and renew qualification certificates for all personnel - both welders and inspectors. QUALITY CONTROL Includes quality verification functionalities with digital WPS and qualification compliance control. 4 Welding quality management

5 EXTENSIVE NON-CONFORMANCE REPORTING WeldEye can give you 100% assurance that your welds are always up to global standards. With the help of easy-to-use bar code-reading hardware, WeldEye verifies all welding -related information against the WPS requirements. Any nonconformances, including those related to welding equipment, are reported immediately. The software detects even such welding deviations that could not be caught in NDT inspections. REDUCED REPAIR RATES WeldEye s automated data collection builds up information on basic quality documentation items as the project progresses and, most importantly, enables early intervention on non-conformances and evaluation of possible welding defects. Repair work can be started immediately, costly rework after project completion can be avoided, and ultimately, quality is improved through increased knowledge. Even a low repair rate can be further reduced by 40%, as proven by the Finnish Kavamet. LESS WAITING, MORE WELDING Just by streamlining the process of calculating and reporting heat input, welders can save even 75% of the time spent on non-welding activities. With WeldEye, all you need to do is to enter the weld length into the system, and then continue with your next welding task. When all the necessary data is digitally gathered by the software, you reduce the risk of miscalculations and no longer need an extra person to observe the welding parameters, calculate travel speed or report heat input manually Welding quality management 5

6 UNIVERSAL SOLUTION WeldEye is a universal solution that is compatible with welding equipment of any brand. This means that you can connect your entire welding fleet to the software to collect welding parameter data via wlan-connected hardware. The cloud-based and web browser-operated software requires no extra installations and can be accessed anywhere with any computer, laptop or mobile device with an internet connection. 6 Welding quality management

7 COMPREHENSIVE DATA COLLECTION When connected to welding equipment, WeldEye collects welding parameter data (voltage, current, wire feed speed, gas flow), and utilizes the data to calculate heat input and average welding speed. The data is imported straight into the system in digital format. In addition, the welder can use the WeldEye reading device to scan barcoded information such as welder identity codes, WPS numbers, filler material and shielding gas batches, or even project-specific weld IDs Welding quality management 7

8 WHAT'S IN THE SYSTEM - EQUIPMENT Welding quality management Software for verifying welding quality and collecting data for documentation. Extensive non-conformance reporting. Software used with an easy-to-use reading device that is compatible with any welding equipment brand. Smart Reader Smart Reader acts as a welder's bar code scanner and communications tool. It collects and transfers digital welding data from the work stations to WeldEye.
