# Distributed weld monitoring system with job tracking

## Abstract

Systems and methods for distributed weld monitoring using jobs and job sessions are described. In some examples, a distributed monitoring system comprises a central monitoring station in communication with a user device and a local monitoring station. A user may use the user device to enter weld monitoring data that is subsequently received by the central monitoring station and stored in a central data repository. The central data repository may associate the weld monitoring data with welding data received from a welding device, as well as with a job session that is, in turn, associated with a job.
