ASME IX qualificationshouldn't livein one head.
The qualified range isn't written on the PQR — it has to be derived from the ASME IX rules, one check at a time. WeldMind reads your PQR archive, applies the QW rules and gives you the verdict — with the clause in plain sight — in under a second.
Three departments stand behind every qualification —
and too many steps are manual.
The welding coordinator derives the ranges and cross-checks the archive. Quality chases certificate expiries and prepares for audits. Production waits for the right WPS — and reworks when the wrong one shows up. WeldMind works for all three.
From paper PQR to signed verdict.
One unified flow.
Drop a PQR. WeldMind reads the variables, applies the ASME IX rules and returns a verdict with every clause in plain sight. No manual cross-references, no spreadsheets to chase.
- 01
Upload
Drop a PQR — the shop-floor Excel or an old scan from the archive. WeldMind reads every essential variable and checks it back against the source page, flagging anything that needs review.
- 02
Verify
It checks every variable against the ASME IX 2025 rules — essential, supplementary, non-essential — applies the right range and explains every decision.
- 03
Sign
Verdict in one screen, audit trail ready for the inspector. Export the signed WPS as a PDF on your company template.

WeldMind reads your PQRs and WPSs — Excel files from the shop floor or old scans from the archive — applies the ASME IX 2025 rules and returns a verdict: qualified or not, and why. Every check points back to the exact QW clause. Same document, same verdict, every time.
Reading the documents
Your Excel PQR/WPS/WPQ templates from the shop floor. The old paper scans from the archive. WeldMind pulls every field and checks it against the source page, flagging anything that doesn't add up.

Checking the rules
Every variable runs through the ASME IX 2025 rules. Essential, supplementary, non-essential — the engine separates them, applies the right range and explains every decision.

One screen. Qualified or not. With every reason: which range applies, which PQR came closest, and a full audit trail that survives an ASME inspector's questions.

Not a chatbot that guesses. The rule, applied.
Anyone who's used ChatGPT knows it sometimes makes things up. WeldMind doesn't: for the verdict it doesn't interpret — it applies the ASME IX rules exactly as written and shows you the clause it used. The only place it uses artificial intelligence is to read your old documents and answer your questions about the code — never to decide whether a weld is qualified. And it grows with you: the next step is to load a whole Welding Map and qualify the entire job in a single pass.
Certificates lapse. You know first.
A welder's qualification holds as long as they keep working continuously: six months without using that process (QW-322) and it lapses. WeldMind keeps the log, computes the expiries and warns you ahead — so you don't discover a lapsed certificate during an audit or, worse, after the joint is already welded.
A question about the code? Ask, and it answers.
Which clause applies to a dissimilar joint? How many specimens for this thickness? WeldMind holds the ASME texts — Section IX, VIII, II Part C — and answers your question citing the exact point. Like having the code expert always at the desk, without leafing through hundreds of pages.
Every result carries its clause.
No black box. Each verdict ships with the clause text, the rule that was applied, the value that was checked and the range that was satisfied. ASME inspectors and TPV auditors verify in one click — and you never have to explain “how does it know that.”
At AMD International, WeldMind checks every procedure against 64 PQRs in under a tenth of a second, computes the QW-451 range with all its exceptions and fills the WPS on the audited company template. The coordinator keeps the work that matters — the Welding Map — and stops re-checking calculations and transcriptions by hand.
Bring us ten PQRs.
We'll show you the verdict.
No slideware. We take your real PQRs — Excel or scans — and show you WeldMind reading them, applying the ASME IX 2025 rules (now in force) and qualifying your procedures. On your archive, with your joints.
