Current Situation • New welders not being trained fast/well

inefficient, time-consuming, and costly • Measurement of welding skills is highly
subjective and therefore inconsistent • Companies often forced to retrain
welders to meet their specific skill needs

Tracking Improvement This screen compares a
trainee’s technique Today versus all their prior trials
for this WPS.
Today’s scores indicate the trainee’s technique is
improving.
This report can also be shown as a daily plot.
