Welding coordination with Seamtrail

Every certificate in its place.

Seamtrail matches orders, weld lists and components against your WPS, WPQR and welder qualifications, explains every gap with its rule and builds the quality dossier – with ISO 3834 and EN 1090 in view. On the tablet, for coordinators, welders and inspectors.

Seamtrail warns and documents. The decision stays with the welding coordinator.

Matching with reasons

Every component is checked against its WPS and the welders’ qualifications – required, actual, status and the rule behind it.

A self-maintaining matrix

Who may weld what is calculated from confirmed qualifications. One tap shows the certificate behind each cell.

Missing data never looks green.

Every status in Seamtrail uses the same four states – in the matrix, matching, personnel records, equipment and releases. Always with symbol and text, never by colour alone.

  • Valid

    Covered by confirmed evidence.

  • Expiring

    Still valid, but a deadline is close – reminders are already running.

  • Invalid

    Not covered or expired, with the concrete reason.

  • Not assessable

    Data is missing or not yet confirmed. Seamtrail says what is needed.

How it works

  1. Import

    Upload WPS, WPQR and certificates as PDF or by tablet camera – confirmed by a person.

  2. Match

    The weld list of a position – or the coordinator per component – sets the required WPS. Seamtrail checks and explains.

  3. Inspect & record

    Inspectors document VT, PT and MT – offline on the shop floor, released with four eyes.

  4. Dossier

    Certificates, order documentation, WPS used and NDT reports as one PDF package.

One app, three roles

Frequently asked questions

Does Seamtrail certify conformity?

No. Seamtrail warns and documents, with rule and source. The decision always stays with the responsible welding coordinator.

Do we need internet in the workshop?

The NDT protocol wizard works offline: drafts and photos stay on the tablet and are synchronised and released once online. The rest of the app runs online.

Where is our data stored?

On your own server with Docker Compose – or operated by us with hosting in the EU. Every company’s data is separated in the database.

Does Seamtrail cover ISO 3834 and EN 1090?

Seamtrail records application standard, execution class and quality level per order, derives the order checklist, keeps the workshop review, certificates and the appointed welding coordinator, and warns when an order asks for more than they cover. It does not handle factory production control or CE marking.

Do we have to enter all certificates by hand?

No. Upload PDFs or photos; an optional AI scan suggests the fields. Data counts only after a person has confirmed it, the original stays with its hash.

What does Seamtrail cost?

We are currently working with pilot companies and set prices together with them. Ask us about the pilot programme.
