OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR

The craft of welding has withstood the test of time but that doesn’t mean innovation has stopped within
the field. There are always going to be new ways to join metals – and in this avenue, we’ll look for the
new innovations in the field of welding technology, and how it is shaping the Future Welding
Technology.

Digital integration is now a need of the industry and not an alternative process. The industries are now
focusing on AI (Artificial Intelligence) & ML (Machine Learning) based automated welding applications
followed by predictive and prescriptive analytical reports to achieve targeted Productivity through ZERO
Defects, enhanced MTBF (Meantime between failures) and reduced human error. Further, Government
of India’s “Digital India” initiative has attracted Next Generation Technologies with a specific focus on
manufacturing from all over the country and also to support the “Make in India” campaign. Through this
initiative, there will certainly be an increase in the contribution from the manufacturing sector substantially
to the country’s GDP. Hence, it is evident that the Welding Professionals and the Welding Technology at
large is perfectly poised to benefit from this opportunity.

This platform will also offer opportunities for the aspirant welding engineers, who are students and / or on
the verge of completion of their curriculum, to express their innovation / ideas in the field of welding
through presenting papers and also gathers knowledge through active participation.

Keeping in mind the need of the hour, The Indian Institute of Welding, Kolkata Branch will hold its Annual
Branch Seminar WELD-2022 on the auspicious Foundation Day of The Indian Institute of Welding on
the theme “Recent Trends & Innovations in Welding” on Friday, the 22nd of April 2022 at the
