PPAP elements that matter for welding
Most friction in welding PPAPs comes from proving stability and appearance. With the HeatCore QMS workflow, inline sensor data feeds your control plan and initial process studies, while appearance checks link to photos or thermal frames.
Control plan tied to live data
Define characteristics (e.g., bead width, heat input proxy, cooldown slope) and sample rates. Link each to a data source and acceptance rule; the QMS generates results for the submission package.
Capability (Cp/Cpk) with inline measurements
Below is a simple capability picture for bead width. Your targets and specs differ, but the idea is the same: compute from your live measurements and include the plot in the pack.
Sharing evidence with customers
Use customer‑scoped portals or signed report packs that link back to traceable records. This reduces questions and speeds approvals.
