Welding management system

27 February 2015

Peikko Group and Kemppi have agreed on deploying the Kemppi ARC System 3 quality management system for welding at Peikko production units in Finland, Lithuania, and Slovakia. This is the first multi-site commissioning of the Kemppi system.


Kemppi ARC System is a comprehensive welding system for project planning, management, and monitoring. It enables fully automated welding control and collection of documentation. Also, the welders’ qualifications, welding instructions, and information on NDT inspections are readily available via a single service with reliable off-site storage. 

In the first stage of implementation, all main users of the system will be trained at the Kemppi factory in Lahti. System installations will then be carried out at the Peikko production units that manufacture composite structures in Lahti; in Kaunas, Lithuania; and in Kráľová nad Váhom, Slovakia.  

Production director Tuomas Mantere, also from Peikko, says: "The real-time monitoring of the welding process enables us to detect faults and quality deviations in our production. Correct and timely measures ensure consistent quality of welding output, improve our productivity, and enable us to assess the effects of the changes implemented. At the same time, we facilitate the work of welding coordinators by using system management tools in, for example, the maintenance of welding qualifications. Kemppi’s slogan ‘Stop Guessing – Start Knowing’ matches our way of thinking very well.”
