Having used Kemppi welding equipment in its production facilities for years, Premekon began implementing WeldEye welding management software in its welding production. The system has been especially helpful in removing the need for using separate Excel sheets or similar software for production management and allowing real-time monitoring.

As the work orders are printed directly from the system and Smart Readers collect and record everything from manufacturing times, welding parameters, and welder information, both production and quality management have become much faster and easier. Universal compatibility has guaranteed smooth system integration with the company's current welding fleet.

With 30 welders and many different types of steel in production, personnel qualification management has been a challenge for Premekon. The company has now imported all welder qualification and WPS information into the system, and uses it for managing them in a more convenient way. The automatic e-mail notifications from the system have removed the risk of expired qualifications, and give the welders a chance to prepare for the tests in advance.

Satisfied with the way welding management software has transformed its operations, Premekon plans to extend the system in the future to cover other production stages like surface treatment and packaging.
