guideWELD LIVE Real Welding Guidance System Named Edison Award Finalist

    EAU CLAIRE, WI, February 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Realityworks' RealCareer Welding Solution, the guideWELD LIVE real welding guidance system, has been named a 2015 Award Finalist by the internationally recognized Edison Awards . These distinguished awards, inspired by Thomas Edison's persistence and inventiveness, recognize innovation, creativity and ingenuity in the global economy.

guideWELD LIVE is real-time, heads-up corrective feedback display for use during live welding. Guidance occurs inside the helmet, allowing users to make immediate corrections on core aspects of welding technique. Created to provide individual instruction for users learning the skill of welding, this system includes a 30-hour curriculum and is the only in-helmet display tool on the market.

The Edison Awards continue Thomas Edison's legacy of challenging conventional thinking; they recognize game-changing products and services, and the teams that bring such products to consumers. Edison Award nominees are judged by more than 3,000 senior business executives and academics from across the nation, whose votes acknowledge finalists' success in meeting the award's stringent criteria. Award winners will be announced April 23, 2015 at the Edison Awards Annual Gala, which will be held in New York's historic Capitale ballroom.

"Being named an Edison Award winner for our innovative product, guideWELD LIVE, is a great reward for our company and all of our employees," said Timm Boettcher, Realityworks CEO.
