Software for Welding
Industry Pain 1 - Quoting Challenges in the Welding Industry
When preparing a quotation (RFQ) for a weldment, manufacturers need to determine several key factors:
-
Total weld length (linear distance)
-
Consumables required
-
Cycle time (manual or robotic)
-
Weight of the weldment, including weld beads
Today, this information is often gathered by carefully reviewing drawings and relying on manual calculations or spreadsheets—an approach that is time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale.
Industry Pain 2 - Welding Deformation
In the welding industry, one of the biggest challenges is welding deformation. When heat is applied unevenly during welding, the metal expands and contracts in unpredictable ways.
This leads to distortions such as bending, warping, twisting, or even misalignment of the welded parts. The result? Higher rework costs, wasted material, longer production times, and compromised quality in the final product. For manufacturers, these issues can translate into lost profits and delayed deliveries.
Welding Sequence Optimizer
Welding Sequence Optimizer (WSO) is a pioneering digital toolset based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms that will help you minimize the inherent welding deformations.
It works in two ways:
-
As standalone solution without the need of additional softwares and without running FEA welding simulations.
-
Acting as a plugin for commercial FEA welding simulation software. (CAE Version) For example: Simufact Welding
What is a Best Welding Sequence?
As general definition, the best welding sequence is a proper order of placement and welding direction for each bead that minimizes an objective function such as deformations, residual stress, cycle time, robot collisions, etc.
