KEY FEATURES

Everything a modern welding department needs.

WeldSuite combines ten core functions in a single interface – instead of spreading them across multiple tools.

STANDARDS & CODES

Standard-compliant – European and international.

WeldSuite speaks the language of the welding standards that apply in your industry. Dropdown fields, plausibility checks and PDF exports are bound directly to the wording of the standards.

EN ISO EN ISO 15609-1 WPS arc welding – over 100 fields, complete.	EN ISO EN ISO 15614-1 to -8 Procedure qualification (WPQR) for the most important welding processes.	EN ISO EN ISO 9606-1 Welder qualification steel – range of qualification calculated automatically.	EN ISO EN ISO 9606-2 to -5 Welder qualification aluminium, copper, nickel, titanium – provided for in the data model.
ISO ISO 14732 Operator qualification for mechanized and automated welding processes.	ISO ISO 6947 Welding positions (PA-PK, H-L045, J-L045) via dialog selection.	ISO ISO 14175 Shielding gases – Linde and Messer catalogs integrated, custom gases definable.	EN EN 287-1 (Legacy) Welder qualification steel (legacy standard) – 14-group system mapped.
ASME ASME IX QW-482 WPS – dropdown fields with P/F/A numbers, heat input automatic.	ASME ASME IX QW-483 PQR – three pages: procedure, parameters, test results.	AWS AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code – Steel: WPS and PQR fully implemented.	DVS DVS 1111 Welder qualification test - with extra portal

 

PLATFORMS

Runs where your IT is already at home.

WeldSuite is a web application with an embedded server – optionally as a desktop installation, Windows service or Docker container.
Windows Desktop installer with system-tray icon. Also available as a Windows service (WinSW) for server use.	macOS Native .app with dock icon and menu bar. For Apple Silicon (M1–M4).	Linux Server variant as a binary or via Docker container. Optimized for headless operation.	Docker Single-container deployment for Kubernetes, Portainer or a simple docker compose up.

 

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Data your auditor trusts.

WPS data is quality data. WeldSuite treats it as the productive asset that it is.

WPK Manual Generator (EN 1090 / ISO 3834)

WeldSuite already holds everything an audit asks for: your welders and their ISO 9606 qualifications, your WPS and WPQR inventory, materials and consumables. One click in Settings → Data & Security → „Create WPK export“ packages this data into a secure .wsx file – the basis for a complete factory production control manual.

The WPK Manual Generator turns that export, together with a short guided questionnaire about your workshop, into a full draft of your factory production control (WPK/FPC) manual to EN 1090-1 in conjunction with EN ISO 3834 – delivered as an editable Word document that belongs to you, not to a subscription.

• All 29 sections – from company scope and welding coordination (ISO 14731) through WPS/WPQR management, traceability and CE marking to management review.
• Your data, filled in automatically – welder, WPS and WPQR tables come straight from your WeldSuite export; missing details are highlighted for you to complete.
• AI-assisted company-specific wording – tailored to your processes and products; every standard reference comes from a curated, maintained register, never invented.
• Free preview – generate a watermarked preview with your own data before you decide.
• A draft you review and release – it supports your welding coordinator; it does not replace professional or legal advice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What IT managers and welding coordinators often want to know.

Do we have to re-enter our existing WPS-Maker 2 data?

No. WeldSuite can import .wpsx files from WPS-Maker 2 directly. Weld geometries, layer build-ups, base materials and filler metals are transferred automatically. This lets you migrate gradually without losing the WPS collection you have maintained over the years.

Do we need a cloud, or does WeldSuite also run locally?

WeldSuite runs entirely on your infrastructure – as a desktop installation on a single computer, as a Windows service on an internal server, or as a Docker container in your data center. Your data stays with you.

How does license activation work?

WeldSuite uses cloud-based license activation via the Soraco QLM license management system. After entering your license key, the software is activated online. Manual activation is also available for offline environments. Licenses can be transferred when changing hardware.

Can we connect WeldSuite to our ERP/QM/MES?

Yes. WeldSuite provides documented REST API modules (WPS, WPQR, ASME-WPS, ASME-PQR, welders, base materials, shielding gases, statistics, etc.). This allows welding data to be passed to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, MES systems, Power BI or your own QM tools. The OpenAPI specification is included with every installation.

Which welding processes does WeldSuite support?

Arc welding processes per ISO 4063 are fully covered: SMAW (111), TIG (141-147), MIG/MAG (131-138), submerged arc (121-125), gas welding (311-313), plasma (151-155), electroslag (72) and self-shielded flux-cored (114). For each process the standard-compliant parameters are enforced.

How secure is our data?

The database can optionally be encrypted with AES-256 (via SQLCipher) – even retroactively, without data loss. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, sessions are managed server-side. Backups are created automatically on start, on exit and at configurable intervals. Role-based access control ensures that employees only see what they are meant to see.

Can WeldSuite also be run on a cloud server (AWS, Hetzner, Azure)?

Yes. WeldSuite runs as a Docker container and can be deployed on any Linux VM – whether in your own data center, on AWS EC2, Hetzner Cloud, Azure or Google Cloud. This is particularly useful for multi-site operations and companies without their own server infrastructure. Important: it remains your cloud, your data – no vendor-hosted multi-tenant system. A VM with 2 GB RAM or more is sufficient for small teams; among German industrial customers, Hetzner (EU data center, GDPR-compliant) is a popular choice. HTTPS (Let's Encrypt), backups (EBS snapshots or S3) and license binding to the data volume are already handled in the standard package. A detailed AWS guide is included with every installation.

Does the knowledge test replace the welder qualification test?

No. The knowledge test covers the theoretical knowledge as recommended by DIN EN ISO 9606-1 and described in DVS Guideline 1111. The practical test and the formal acceptance remain the responsibility of the examination body or welding coordinator – the test should be taken under supervision, as before. WeldSuite digitalizes the preparation, administration and documentation.

What does the knowledge test cost?

Nothing extra – it is part of every WeldSuite license. The welding coordinator simply logs into the portal with the existing license key.

Does the welder need an app or an account?

No. The QR code is all it takes: scan, practice, take the test. It works with any current smartphone browser.

Can the questions be viewed or copied?

The question catalog resides exclusively on the server. Questions are delivered one at a time and without the answer, and evaluation takes place server-side. In the freely accessible demo mode, only the practice mode is active.
