Every Weld.
Every Detail. Every Time.
The Challenge
Pipeline weld records span thousands of joints across hundreds of miles
A 200-mile pipeline has 20,000+ welds. Each weld requires fit-up inspection, visual inspection, welder ID, WPS, filler metal traceability, and NDE results. Managing this volume on paper is not sustainable.
Weld repair rates not visible until the monthly report
Your repair rate is running at 7 percent but you do not know it until month-end. By then, the welder producing 80 percent of the repairs has been welding for four more weeks.
Filler metal traceability breaks at the spread level
Heat numbers are tracked from the warehouse to the spread. Once filler metal reaches the field, traceability to individual welds depends on the welders notebook entry. Gaps are common and costly.
Welder qualification tracking across multiple procedures
200 welders qualified on different procedures, different pipe sizes, and different positions. Tracking who can weld what, where, and when their qualifications expire is a full-time administrative job.
The POD Advantage
Voice Weld Logging
Log every weld by voice at the point of work. Weld number, welder ID, WPS, filler metal heat number, pipe specification, and station captured in under 30 seconds per weld.
Real-Time Repair Rate Dashboard
See repair rates by welder, by WPS, by pipe specification, and by spread updated daily. Identify problem welders and problem procedures in days, not months.
Complete Filler Metal Traceability
Track filler metal from warehouse receipt through issuance to welder to individual weld joint. No broken chain of custody. No missing heat numbers. Complete traceability.
Welder Qualification Management
Every welder qualification tracked with expiration alerts. When a procedure or pipe size changes at a station, instantly identify which welders are qualified to continue.
