Welding value with digitalization

No matter who you are, what you do or where you are in the world, you are never far from a weld. People might not always realize it when they go about their business, but high-quality welding has a daily role in our built environments. Welds hold buildings, ships and steel frames hidden within walls securely together.

Digitalization

When it comes to demanding welding tasks, quality matters more than quantity. Furthermore, the current standards – especially the norms applied to subsea welding – require that quality is constantly observed, measured, and reported. Without digital quality control systems, this task may prove to be overly costly and time-consuming. Kemppi’s WeldEye Quality Control is a universal software solution for verifying compliance of welding quality with welding procedure specifications. When integrated into the customer’s operating systems, WeldEye Quality Control brings considerable savings. Let’s listen to some user experiences from Norway.

Innovation

As the digital transformation marches onward, the question of how to succeed in the changing world is on the agenda of every company. The answer standing out from a plethora of opinions is Connected Business – as well described in the HBR. Companies are enhancing cross-team collaboration, focusing on user experience, taking advantage of new technology and breaking down organization silos to reap the full benefits of connectivity. Connected Business is an effective combination of business and IT driving transformation together.

Digitalization

Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.

Safety, Welding ABC

Eurosatory 2026 highlighted a clear shift in modern defence manufacturing. While defence systems are becoming more digital, networked, and autonomous, their foundation remains physical. From armoured vehicles and artillery to industrial resilience, welding quality, steel structures, and production discipline remain paramount to defence readiness.

Digitalization, Innovation

The AITOOLS1 webinar explored how AI-assisted process control, machine vision, synchronized data, and machine learning models are advancing robotic welding automation, improving quality management, traceability, and production flexibility for demanding industrial production.
