SOLUTION OF PRACTICAL WELDING TASKS BY ADAPTED INTERFACES FOR DIFFERENT SOFTWARE AND WELDING ADISORY SYSTEMS A.?Scharff, H.?Rudert, C.?K?the and H.?Benedix, Rostock For one example in the field of shipbuilding (weldment rudder pintle - rudder) it is shown, how a continuous quality management at large and small enterprises can be supported with the help of coupled software components. The separate interfaces capture modules for management and calculation of welding information like qualification of personnel, welding specifications, data of non-destructive material testing, filler materials, material data as well as welding parameters. 1. Introduction ”Welding joins”, because everybody knows, that the slogan “all the weld seems away” (jocular expressed) will bring all our modern technics into the breakdown: ships sink, bridges collapse, the telecommunikation lose their funktional ability, computers failure (its, what they anyway do now and again...), radio does not play and houses crash. The responsibility of welding supervisors for the functional ability during operating stress and with that for the quality assurance of products has to be great correspondingly. As a rule the spectrum of daily tasks grasps questions of planning, designing and calculation, producing and controle down to the selection of filler materials. Often it’s to decided during a very short time. Support the responsible persons can get by using modern software systems for welding applications. The Welding, Training and Reseach Institute Mecklenburg-Westpomerania (SLV?M-V) in Rostock, Germany, had integrated most of its own software (like: WELDWARE, NIROWARE, NAHTWARE, QMWARE, EN287, EN288, catalogue of base material, Distribution of Hydrogen) into one system under a common surface (working title “Enterprise”). Further it’s shown, how different modules of this system are interlocked and used at a german ship yard (KVAERNER in Rostock). 2. Weldment and Quality Demands The joint betwee
