Abstract
In some examples, weld monitoring systems may use position tracking systems to track the positions, orientations, and/or movements of an (e.g., expert) operator performing a welding-type operation using a welding-type tool. An instruction generation process may then be used to automatically generate welding instructions based on the tracked positions, orientations, and/or movements. The welding instructions may be associated with a particular job, part, and/or welding position, and thereafter used to help guide future operators through similar welding-type operations when the future (e.g., less experienced operator) is working on a similar job/part and/or at a similar welding position.
