A system and method for managing welding information is provided. The invention includes a remote system (120, 832), a client system (816) and/or a welder (104, 804). The invention further provides for establishment of a secure connection for transmission of information between the remote system (120, 832) and the client system (816) and/or the welder (104, 804) 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 (132, 844, 950) to facilitate creation of welding procedure(s). Th e invention further includes calculation of weld costs for potentially suitabl e welding procedure(s) and communication with a customer's resource planning system (124, 836, 980) in order to facilitate further automation in the industrial environment.
