Digitize Job Travelers, Welding Procedures, and Inspection for Complex Metalwork
Quality You Can Stamp, Weld, and Prove
Structural and precision fabrication depends on procedures, WPS/PQR alignment, and NDT evidence. Apprentice structures travelers, hold points, and signoffs so inspections are predictable — and documentation is ready when customers or regulators ask.
Every Job Is a Little Different
Custom cuts, weldments, and finishing steps change by customer and drawing revision. Apprentice lets you publish updated travelers instantly and enforce the right checks for each job. Reduce rework from ambiguous work orders and missed prerequisites.
Connect the Shop to Scheduling and Materials
Fabrication stalls when material, drawings, and floor status disagree. Apprentice integrates with ERP and nesting systems so operators execute against the latest revision with confidence. Supervisors see WIP and bottlenecks in real time to protect ship dates.
