Compare manual and digital weld-log work
A fair comparison uses the same drawings, the same finish line, and the same review rules. Use this guide to measure both methods with your team.
Run a fair comparison
Choose a fixed set of drawings
Include typical drawings, difficult cases, and revisions. Use the same set for both methods.
Time the way you work today
Record the full process, including checking, corrections, and preparing the finished file.
Repeat it in Piping.Tools
Use the same drawings and finish line. Include scanning, review, corrections, and export time.
Compare the full result
Look at time, correction effort, missed fields, difficult cases, and whether the final output was usable.
How to read the result
Include review and correction time in both totals. Look at the middle result and the range, not just the fastest drawing. Difficult cases matter because they show where the process still needs attention.
