Smart Scan starts the log for you
When a drawing is uploaded, Piping.Tools pulls the weld pins off the isometric and creates one weld row per pin — already linked to the drawing, ready for the welder, WPS, and heat number to be filled in.
Weld Log module
A weld log that writes itself from your drawings
Smart Scan reads weld pins off your isometrics so the log starts populated. Welders, WPS, heat numbers, and NDE status complete the row through the workflow — not through retyping.
- Auto-extracted welds from isometric pins
- WPS, welder, heat number, NDE status per weld
- Status pills (Complete, In Progress, Hold) at a glance
- Excel and PDF exports for client delivery
Traceable end-to-end
Every weld carries the full chain — drawing rev, WPS, welder ID, material heats, NDE method, inspector, acceptance. Open a weld; you can rebuild its history in seconds, not hours.
What you get
Status pills
Color-coded NDE and weld status make a 1,000-row log scannable at fabrication speed.
Excel + PDF export
Issue the log to clients in the format they ask for, without rebuilding it from scratch each time.
Field-friendly
Optimized for shop floor entry on a tablet, not just for office review on a laptop.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is weld extraction from PDFs?
Smart Scan works on standard piping isometrics with weld pins drawn at junctions. You can review and edit the extracted welds before committing them to the log; nothing is auto-saved blindly.
Can I export to Excel?
Yes. The weld log exports to Excel and PDF on demand, in formats that match common client and inspector expectations.
Is it ASME B31.3 compatible?
The default field set covers what B31.3 fabrication and turnover normally require: weld ID, drawing rev, WPS, welder, material heats, NDE method, inspector, acceptance.
