Monitor welder continuity limits and initiate requalification testing before qualifications lapse

Support welding consumable procurement — verifying filler metal classifications against WPS requirements and keeping certifications on file

Track weld repair and rejection rates, report trends, and help drive root cause analysis and targeted retraining
