[MW:4338] Robot - WOPQ?

Dear All

We have a typical situation.
We want to do overlay by FCAW and want to deploy robot for this i.e by automatic welding.
The construction code is ASME Sec VIII Div.1

Now as per ASME Sec VIII Div1, UW29(b)(2)-- "when welding is done by any automatic welding process, performance qualification testing is not required".
So do we need not do any WOPQ ?? Is performance qualification required or not ??
Pls.. advise..

Regards
