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.

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

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.
