SOLUTIONS · MATERIAL TRACEABILITY
Material traceability software, from receiving to weld.
Veriweld traces every joint of pipe from the mill cert to the weld. Print your own barcode tags, bind them at receiving, and follow each heat through its BOM line, its cuts, and the welds it ends up in.
Your own barcode tags, no vendor required
Veriweld includes a contractor-printed barcode tag system. Generate Code 128 + QR tags with a built-in check digit that catches a mis-scan before it becomes a bad record, print them in batches on standard label stock, and bind them to joints as material is received. Scanning a tag in the field resolves straight to the heat behind it.
Heat-to-BOM, automatic
Every weld traces back to its heats, every heat to its BOM line, every BOM line to its purchase order. When material is received with heat numbers, those heats are in the QC record the same minute, with no inspector typing heat numbers off mill certs at the end of the day, which is the single most common source of a bad traceability record.
Joint and pup-joint lineage
Pipe gets cut, and that’s where most traceability breaks. Veriweld records every cut and keeps the lineage: a pup inherits its parent joint’s heat, and the chain of cuts is explicit. A short piece welded three tie-ins down the line still traces back to the original mill certificate.
MTR capture and receiving
Material Test Reports are captured and kept as the provenance behind every heat: chemistry and mechanicals pulled from the mill cert, the document one click from any weld. The receiving workflow feeds heat numbers directly into QC, and a live SAP Ariba integration can sync goods receipts in automatically. It all rolls up into the Part 192 turnover package at closeout.
Frequently asked questions
What is material traceability software?
Material traceability software follows every piece of pipe and fitting from its mill certificate to the weld it ends up in: heat numbers, BOM line, purchase order, and the cuts in between. On pipeline construction it’s what lets you prove, at audit or turnover, that the right material went into the right joint.
Do we need a vendor to provide barcoded material?
No. Veriweld includes an in-house barcode tag system. Print your own Code 128 + QR tags (with a check-digit guard against mis-scans), bind them to joints at receiving, and scan them in the field on the mobile app. If a vendor does provide barcoded tags you can use those too, but you’re not dependent on it.
How does it handle pipe that gets cut into pups?
Through joint and pup-joint lineage. When a joint is cut, the cut is recorded and each pup inherits its parent’s heat, so a short piece welded in three runs down the line still traces back to the original mill cert. This is where legacy weld-log spreadsheets lose the chain.
Where do heat numbers come from?
From receiving and from Material Test Reports (MTRs). The receiving workflow drops heat numbers straight into the QC record, MTR capture pulls chemistry and mechanicals off the mill cert, and a live SAP Ariba integration can sync goods receipts in automatically.
Does it tie material to the welds and the turnover package?
Yes. Every weld traces to its heats, every heat to its BOM line and PO, and the MTR behind each heat is one click away, and all of it feeds the 49 CFR Part 192 turnover package at closeout.
