Weld QC Logging on Fabricators.io: How to Build an Inspection Trail That Holds Up
Logging welds is one thing. Producing an inspection trail that survives an audit is another. Here's how the Weld QC suite structures the record.
The audit chain
Every weld logged in Fabricators.io carries: welder ID and continuity date, WPS revision, filler heat number, base metal heat number, joint drawing reference, inspection method (VT, MT, UT, RT), inspector ID and stamp, and pass/fail with defect classification. That's the AWS D1.1 audit chain in one record.
When a weld fails
The system flags the failure, generates a repair traveler, and holds subsequent inspections on adjacent joints until the repair is signed off. The inspector doesn't have to remember to hold; the system won't move on.
