Weld traceability · Fabrication QA
Every weld carries a QR-coded identity.
WeldConnect gives structural and pipe fabricators one record per weld — placed on the drawing, logged in the workshop, verified by QA and compiled into the data book — with live clause checks against AS/NZS 5131, AS/NZS 1554.1, AS 4041 and ISO 3834.
Free while in early release — no card, no lock-in.

Who it's for
Built for fabricators who answer to the standard.
Structural fabricators
AS/NZS 5131 execution class work (CC2, CC3) and AS/NZS 1554.1 SP/GP welding, where every weld, welder, consumable and assembly has to be accounted for at handover.
Pipe and pressure fabricators
AS 4041 piping classes and ISO 3834 quality regimes: NDE extent by class, hydrostatic and pneumatic test packages, PWHT and hardness, heat-number traceability per joint.
Welding coordinators and QA teams
One record shared by the workshop, the site team and QA. Qualifications and ranges checked at allocation, evidence attached to the record, nothing retyped into the MDR.
One record per weld, from joint to data book.
The weld log is the spine. Drawings, NDE, pressure tests, NCRs, PWHT, materials, consumables and qualifications all attach to it, and compliance is evaluated from the same records the workshop writes — so the evidence is ready the day the job closes.

Key features
Everything the record needs, nothing it doesn't.
Weld log
A register that starts at the joint.
Every weld gets its QR-coded identity the moment it enters the log. WPS, welder, heat number, consumable batch and status sit on the record, grouped by drawing, filterable by status or welder, and bulk-updatable from the workshop floor.
ISO drawings
Weld markers on the isometric, not in a spreadsheet.
Upload the PDF, let tag detection find the weld numbers, place the markers and download the drawing with QR labels printed on it. Cloud, arrow and text markup live on the same sheet, so the drawing stays the index into the weld log.
Compliance engine
Clause checks that run while you work.
Pick the frameworks a project answers to — AS/NZS 5131, AS/NZS 1554.1, AS 4041, ISO 3834-2 — and every clause is evaluated from the project's own records. Gaps show before the auditor finds them; thresholds are yours to set and justified overrides are logged with their reasoning.
NDE · NCR · PWHT
The processes around the weld, in the same record.
Request NDE from the weld log with extent rules per category or class, record results by technician and report, raise NCRs against the weld or assembly, and track PWHT cycles with thermocouple and hardness data per joint.
Pressure tests
Test packages that know which welds are in them.
Build hydrostatic and pneumatic packages from accepted welds, check the test ratio and gauge calibration before the test starts, and record the witness, result and report against every weld in the loop.
Assemblies · ITP
Piece marks with a traveler and an inspection plan.
Structural assemblies carry their parts and heat numbers, their welds, a routing traveler and an ITP with hold, witness, review and record points. Hold points block the traveler until they're signed.
Materials & consumables
Heat and batch numbers that follow the weld.
Certificates, datasheets and photos attach to the heat or batch once and are referenced everywhere. Every weld knows its heat numbers; every heat number knows its welds.
Reports · MDR
The data book compiles itself.
Drawings with QR codes, weld maps, welder and WPS matrices, NDE, materials, ITP travelers, NCRs, pressure tests and the compliance matrix, generated from the live project into a single PDF.
WPS · PQR · welder qualifications
Qualifications checked at the point of welding.
The library holds WPS, PQR, welder qualifications, personnel credentials and ITP templates with their ranges and expiry. Out-of-range or expired allocations are flagged before the arc strikes, with a supervisor override that records why.
On site
Scan the weld, see the record.
Any phone camera opens a weld's record from its QR label — status, history and the next required action, standing at the joint. Welders can attach photos from the same screen.
Standards
Built against the clauses, not around them.
AS/NZS 5131
Structural steelwork — fabrication and erection
Execution class requirements to CC3, welding coordination, traceability and the records expected at handover.
AS/NZS 1554.1
Welding of steel structures
SP and GP weld categories, prequalified and qualified procedures, welder qualification ranges, and inspection extent by category.
AS 4041
Pressure piping
Piping classes 1 to 3, NDE extent by class, hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, PWHT and hardness requirements.
ISO 3834-2
Quality requirements for fusion welding
Document control, personnel qualification management, equipment calibration and inspection records kept as the work happens.

Compliance checks are paraphrased aids built from the project's records. They are not the standards and do not replace qualified judgement.
