Weld traceability & inspection

Every weld on the part, accounted for.

WeldCloud Assembly follows each joint from fitting through welding, testing and shipping — so the traceability package is finished when the product is.

The production flow

From drawing to shipped, one thread.

Break an assembly into its parts and welds, assign the procedure and inspection class, and let each state sign itself off as the work happens on the floor.

Fitted

Fit-up recorded with the fitter, materials and heat numbers used.

Welded

Welder, machine and arc data captured against the weld automatically.

Tested

NDT and PWHT results attached, repairs tracked to closure.

Finished

All required documents present and the weld signed off.

Shipped

The complete documentation package released with the product.

Traceability
Weld-level record

Who welded it, on which machine, with which procedure, filler batch and heat number — recorded per weld, not per order.

Per weldHeat numbersQR weld tags
Inspection
NDT & PWHT reports

Order the testing, capture the result and attach the report to the weld. Repairs open, get re-welded and re-tested without leaving the record.

VT / RT / UTPWHT chartsRepair loop
Compliance
Inspection classes

Set the test scope per class and Assembly picks the welds to be inspected, so sampling rates are met without anyone counting by hand.

Answer "who welded this?" in one search

Scan the weld tag or search the weld number and the whole history opens: procedure revision, welder certificate, machine serial, arc data, tests and any repairs. Years later, still there.

  • Searchable by part, weld, welder or batch
  • Arc data captured with no operator input
  • Complete record for warranty claims

10% RT means Assembly picks the welds

Set the NDT extent once on the inspection class — VT 100%, UT 100% on butt welds, RT 20% — and every weld created gets its inspections assigned automatically at the right rate. One weld in ten radiographed is chosen and counted by the system, and you can see at any moment how much of the extent is still missing.

  • Extent per inspection class, test type and weld type
  • Coverage tracked live — planned, completed, still missing
  • Repairs add their re-testing to the same count
  • Examining bodies can be given their own access

The documentation ships with the part

When the last weld closes, the package is already assembled: weld register, procedures, welder certificates, test reports and material records. Export the PDF report and send it — no scramble the week before delivery.

  • One PDF report for the whole assembly
  • Open items flagged before release
  • Share a live link with the client instead of a copy

Build the traceability while you build the part.

Start with one assembly. Import the weld list, set the inspection class, and watch the documentation close itself out weld by weld.
