Every Weld.
Every Detail.
The Challenge
Weld logs maintained in paper notebooks that get lost
Your welding inspector maintains a field notebook with weld numbers, welder IDs, WPS references, and NDE results. That notebook rides in the truck for 6 months. If it gets lost, damaged, or wet, months of weld records are gone.
Weld traceability from WPS to NDE takes hours to reconstruct
An auditor asks to see the complete quality record for Weld #4,521. Tracing from the WPS through the PQR, filler metal CMTRs, welder qualification, fit-up inspection, and NDE report takes half a day.
Welder qualification expiration not tracked in real time
A welder qualification expires on March 15. Nobody notices until March 22 when the inspector catches it. Every weld made by that welder for the past week is now a non-conformance requiring disposition.
Multiple welding procedures across different pipe specifications
Your project has 6 different pipe specifications requiring 12 different WPSs. Ensuring each welder is qualified for the specific WPS they are using, at the specific station, is a tracking nightmare.
The POD Advantage
Voice-Based Weld Logging
Log each weld by voice: weld number, welder ID, WPS, location, filler metal heat number, and fit-up dimensions. POD creates a permanent digital weld log that cannot be lost or damaged.
Complete Weld Traceability
Pull the entire quality record for any weld in under 2 minutes. WPS, PQR, CMTR, welder qualification, fit-up inspection, visual inspection, and NDE results all linked in one searchable system.
Qualification Expiration Alerts
POD tracks every welder qualification expiration date and alerts you 30, 14, and 7 days before expiration. No more surprise lapses. No more retroactive non-conformances.
WPS-Welder Matrix Dashboard
See which welders are qualified for which WPSs at a glance. When a pipe spec changes at a station, immediately identify which welders can continue and which need to be reassigned.
