A system and method for managing welding information is provided. The invention includes a remote system, a client system and/or a welder. The invention further provides for establishment of a secure connection for transmission of information between the remote system and the client system and/or the welder and/or establishment of access rights of a user/client system/welder. The invention further provides for formulating of a query based upon a request for welding information from a user/welder/client system and searching of data store(s) based at least in part upon the request and/or access rights. The invention further includes filtering of search results and a design of experiment(s) component to facilitate creation of welding procedure(s). The invention further includes calculation of weld costs for potentially suitable welding procedure(s) and communication with a customer's resource planning system in order to facilitate further automation in the industrial environment.

1. A system for communicating welding information, comprising: a welder comprising physical hardware that produces a weld, a user interface configured to receive an input of a wire diameter and a welding process comprising at least one of gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and flux cored arc welding, and a communication interface configured to initiate a request for a welding procedure based on the wire diameter and the welding process via the Internet; anda remote system that communicates with the welder across the Internet, the remote system comprising: a query component that identifies the wire diameter and the at least one of gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and flux cored arc welding and formulates a query for welding procedures using the wire diameter and the at least one of gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and flux cored arc welding;a search component that searches a database according to the query and finds a plurality of different welding procedures;a design of experiments component that initiates generation of a further welding procedure based on welding parameters received from the query component; anda cost calculation component that determines costs of employing at least one of the plurality of different welding procedures at different geographic locations based on different labor and overhead costs at the different geographic locations;wherein the remote system communicates the plurality of different welding procedures and the further welding procedure to the welder. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the database is a relational database, or a hierarchical database. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the welder further comprises an input configured to receive a user-selected welding procedure from the remote system. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the welder further comprises an output device that presents the plurality of different welding procedure to a user. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote system further comprises a security component that establishes a secure network connection between the welder and the remote system. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the security component employs a secure sockets layer to establish the secure network connection. 7. The system of claim 5, wherein the security component employs at least one of authentication, authorization, or encryption to establish the secure network connection. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the search component searches the database using one of a Bayesian model, a probability tree network, an artificial intelligence model, a fuzzy logic model, or a neural network. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote system further comprises a filter component that filters results from the search component. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the remote system further comprises a resource planning component that communicates the at least one of the plurality of different welding procedures to a customer system, wherein the customer system comprises an inventory management system or a materials management system. 11. A method, comprising: receiving a request, from a welder, for a welding procedure comprising a wire diameter and a welding process comprising at least one of gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and flux cored arc welding, based on information input by a user through a user interface of the welder, at a location remote from the welder via the Internet;formulating a query at the location remote from the welder using the wire diameter and the at least one of gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and flux cored arc welding;searching a database at the location remote from the welder according to the query and discovering a plurality of different welding procedures satisfying the query;communicating results of the step of searching from the location remote from the welder to the welder via the Internet;generating a further welding procedure based on welding parameters from the welder that are received at the location remote from the welder; anddetermining costs of employing at least one of the plurality of different welding procedures at different geographic locations based on different labor and overhead costs at the different geographic locations. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the query is based on an access right of a user. 13. The method of claim 11, further comprising ranking the plurality of different welding procedures. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the ranking further comprises ranking the plurality of different welding procedures based on a plurality of weld cost associated with the plurality of different weld procedures.
