WeldEye alternative
WeldEye is a powerful, equipment-connected welding-procedure suite. Field PM takes a different angle: drawing-linked weld maps, WPS/PQR, welder qualifications, NDE, reject/repair, and turnover data books — connected to daily reports, costing, RFIs, QAQC, and safety, and included free in the base platform.
WeldEye — Lincoln Electric's cloud welding-management suite — deep WPS/PQR/WPQR authoring with a prequalified-procedure library, personnel qualifications, and real-time machine-parameter monitoring on compatible equipment.

It depends on what you need most. If your priority is weld traceability tied to the rest of the job — weld maps, qualifications, NDE, repairs, and turnover data books alongside daily reports, costing, QAQC, and safety — Field PM covers that and includes it free. If your priority is deep WPS/PQR authoring with a large prequalified-procedure library and live machine monitoring, WeldEye is purpose-built for that.
No. WeldEye, on compatible Lincoln Electric equipment, captures real-time welding parameters. Field PM tracks the weld record — joint, welder, WPS, NDE, repairs — not live amperage/voltage telemetry. If equipment-level monitoring is essential, that's a genuine reason to choose WeldEye or pair Field PM with a machine-data tool.
Field PM maintains a WPS/PQR library and links procedures to welds and welder qualifications, but WeldEye's authoring depth and prequalified-procedure library are greater. Many contractors keep their existing procedures and use Field PM for mapping, qualifications, NDE, and turnover.
WeldEye is quote-based as a dedicated weld suite. Field PM starts at $99/mo with weld mapping included in the base plan and unlimited free field seats. Confirm current WeldEye pricing with Lincoln Electric.
