Weldingqualification,encoded.

Production-grade qualification engine for fabricators who can't afford a 0.1% error rate. Deterministic logic, vision ingestion of your PQR/WPS/WPQ templates (Excel or scanned PDF), ASME IX 2025 ready — before the deadline.

Pressure vessels don't get
a second draft.

One uncertified weld in a hydrocarbon column. One overlooked thickness range in a PQR archive from 1987. One spreadsheet that nobody updated when ASME IX moved to 2025. Welding qualification runs on a 0.1% error rate — and the failures don't show up in QA. They show up under operating pressure.

0.1%
1 in 1,000 welds fails certification — and a single unqualified joint can stop the audit, the contract, and the line.

QW-100· How it works

From paper PQR to signed verdict.
One unified flow.

Drop a PQR. The engine extracts the variables, runs the ASME IX rule graph, and returns a qualified verdict with every clause traced. No manual cross-references, no spreadsheets.

  1. 01

    Upload

    Drop a PQR template — Excel from your shop floor or scanned PDF from the archive. AI Vision extracts every essential variable with double-key verification.

  2. 02

    Verify

    The rule engine runs every variable against the ASME IX 2025 clause graph. Deterministic, traceable.

  3. 03

    Sign

    Verdict in one screen, audit trail ready for the inspector. Export the signed WPS as PDF.

QW-150· The engine

Read the archive.
Run the rules.
Sign the verdict.

WeldMind is a deterministic qualification engine. Your PQR / WPS / WPQ templates go in — Excel from your shop floor, scanned PDFs from the archive room — and ASME IX 2025-compliant verdicts come out. Every check is traceable to a clause, every clause to a section, every section to the standard.

STEP 01

Vision ingestion

Excel PQR/WPS/WPQ templates from your shop floor. Scanned paper records from the archive. Every structured field is extracted with double-key verification against the source page.

// input: PQR-1987-04C.pdf
base_metal "SA-516 Gr.70"
thickness_mm 12.7

✓ extracted · all essential variables · 0 unresolved
STEP 02

Rules engine

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

QW-403.6 base metal P-No.
PASS P-No.1 ⊂ qualified
QW-404.4 filler F-No.

QW-405.1 position
REVIEW 6G qualifies all
STEP 03

Signed verdict

One screen. Qualified or not. Why or why not. Which range applies, which near-miss PQR could be re-used, and a full audit trail that survives an ASME inspector's questions.

QW-100· What's different

AI doesn't sign your welds. Code does.

WeldMind is not an LLM with a welding prompt. It is a code-first engine that encodes ASME IX as executable rules. Language models live in the corners — explaining clauses, drafting summaries, translating archives. Verdicts are deterministic.

Deterministic

Same input. Same verdict. Always.

ASME IX 2025 encoded as a clause graph with explicit ranges, equivalences and supplementary essential variables. Run the same PQR twice, get bit-identical output. Run it across twenty workstations, get bit-identical output.

Auditable

Every PASS traces to a clause.

No black box. Each verdict ships with the exact clause text, the rule that was applied, the value that was checked and the range that was satisfied. ASME inspectors and TPV auditors can verify in one click.

Learning archive

Every upload teaches the engine.

Most fabricators sit on decades of paper PQRs — qualified, signed, paid for, unsearchable. Each upload feeds the engine: extraction patterns sharpen, edge cases are captured, the clause graph expands. Yesterday's anomaly becomes today's matched range.

QW-300· Founding partner

We had thirty-eight years of PQRs in a filing room. WeldMind re-qualified ninety percent of them in a week. The other ten percent showed us gaps we didn't know we had.

Encode the standard.
Before the standard catches up.

ASME IX 2025 is the largest revision in a decade — new essential variables, new ranges, new traceability requirements. Encode it once. Run every PQR through it. Be ready when the inspector asks.
