Organize welding procedure and certification records

Keep WPS, PQR and welder cert records in a searchable, expiring list.

The problem

Welder certifications and procedure records sit in binders, and expired certs get noticed during an audit.

Step by step

1. 1List each welder, process, position, cert date and continuity date in a sheet.
2. 2Use ChatGPT to pull fields from scanned cert forms into that table.
3. 3Set Power Automate or Zapier to email the QC lead 30 days before a continuity or cert date.
4. 4QC verifies every record against the original document.

Copy-paste prompt

Extract these fields from this welder certification document into a table: welder name, ID, process, base metal, thickness range, position, test date, code/standard. Use null for anything not shown.
