Currently, “humanity uses the equivalent of 1.7 Earths to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste”1. So, we want to share how you can do your part by making your welding processes more environmentally friendly through **scrap and** **waste reduction**.   Implementing c[amera systems for inspection and monitoring](https://www.xiris.com/weld-monitoring-cameras/) can help you reduce waste in your welding processes. Camera systems give you instantaneous feedback, allowing operators to immediately adjust their process before defects or scrap is created. Our customers are often our best cheerleaders: Brian Dobben, from Flowserve, credits Xiris’ dual-camera weld monitoring system with roughly an 80-95% reduction in [weld defects](https://blog.xiris.com/welding-defects-guide) long-term. The monitoring feedback helps reduce the scrap from welding processes that are not in control, helping operators to weld with better precision, making better, stronger welds. The end result? Final products that last longer, with less frequent replacements in the field, contributing to less waste.  | ![Enviro Blog XVC](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Blog%202019/Enviro%20Blog%20XVC.jpg?width=240&name=Enviro%20Blog%20XVC.jpg) | ![Enviro Blog - Tennaco WI](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Blog%202019/Enviro%20Blog%20-%20Tennaco%20WI.jpg?width=240&name=Enviro%20Blog%20-%20Tennaco%20WI.jpg) | | --- | --- | | Weld Camera System** | Weld Inspection System |   Other examples exist, such as use of cameras in the classroom. By using weld cameras at schools, weld instructors can drastically reduce the weld coupons, energy and consumable materials they use by recording some of their welding lessons using a weld camera. By recording some welding lessons, the instructor doesn’t have to waste energy and materials by continuously repeating their demonstrations.   Cameras for monitoring and inspection can be used in a variety of different welding applications to help operators improve their quality and therefore reduce their scrap. Every step counts towards helping the environment, so take that first step by implementing a camera system with that automated welding process.     **Better Images. Better Decisions. Better Process Control.** Follow Xiris on social media for regular updates and [welding videos](https://www.xiris.com/resources/welding-video-library/)!
