Method for a welding sequencer

A method of welding in a welding work cell, comprising:

• receiving an input from an operator prior to the operator performing one or more welds;
• verifying an identity of the operator by comparing the input to a system authenticated input for the operator;
• identifying both welding equipment that the operator is authorized to use and a welding sequence that the operator is authorized to perform, wherein the welding sequence defines one or more welding procedures that include one or more parameters to create said one or more welds on a workpiece using the welding equipment;
• and
• employing the welding sequence for the welding work cell to perform said one or more welds to assemble the workpiece by automatically adjusting a setting on the welding equipment within the welding work cell.

A method of welding in a welding work cell, comprising:

• receiving an input from an operator prior to the operator performing one or more welds;
• verifying an identity of the operator by comparing the input to a system authenticated input for the operator;
• identifying a plurality of welding sequences that the operator is authorized to perform;
• receiving a welding sequence selection by the operator and selected from said plurality of welding sequences that the operator is authorized to perform, and wherein the selected welding sequence defines one or more welding procedures that include one or more parameters to create said one or more welds on a workpiece;
• and
• employing the selected welding sequence for the welding work cell to perform said one or more welds to assemble the workpiece by automatically adjusting a setting on a welding equipment within the welding work cell.
