 The "WeldPrint" software received the "Brother business software of the year award" (2001); in 2003, the technology received the A$100,000 inaugural "Australasian Peter Doherty Prize for Innovation";
and WTi, the University of Sydney's original spin-off company, received an AusIndustry Certificate of Achievement in recognition of the development.SIP has opened opportunities for researchers to use it as a measurement tool both in welding
and in related disciplines, such as structural engineering.Research opportunities have opened up in the application of biomonitoring of external EEGs, where SIP offers advantages in interpreting the complex signals

Weld mapping is the process of assigning information to a weld joint to enable easy identification of its design (WPS), production (welders, their qualifications, date welded), quality (visual inspection, NDT) and traceability (heat numbers of materials joined & welding consumables).
