01Approved basis
Keep the current WPS, its supporting qualification record and the welder’s relevant status available to the people planning and reviewing work. Connecting the approved basis to execution helps turn document control into an operational quality safeguard.
02Continuity oversight
See current, approaching-expiry and expired process qualifications with the project or authorised manual history that supports them. Proactive visibility lets the quality team address continuity before it becomes a production interruption or audit finding.
03Inspection workflow
Capture fit-up, in-process and final visual inspection within the weld record. Observations, photographs and acceptance status remain attached to the production context, giving later reviewers the evidence behind the decision rather than a detached inspection entry.
04NDE control
Manage test requests, results, uploaded reports, defects, repairs, retests and sampling requirements as one quality trail. The complete sequence remains visible from initial scope to final acceptance, reducing ambiguity when a result changes the course of the work.
05Audit history
Review revisions, approvals and significant changes without reconstructing the sequence from emails or file dates. WeldTrace retains responsibility and context around controlled records so audit preparation becomes retrieval and review rather than document archaeology.
06Standards coverage
Use structured qualification workflows for ASME IX, AWS D1.1, D1.2, D1.5 and D1.6, API 1104, ISO 15614-1 and ISO 9606-1/-4. The software supports the process while competent people retain responsibility for code interpretation and engineering decisions.
