Digital application simplifies weld traceability

ESAB InduSuite WeldCloud Assembly

ESAB has introduced InduSuite WeldCloud Assembly, a cloud-based digital application that provides welding professionals with a new level of production traceability. Key functions include the ability to record weld session data directly from a welding power source and immediately compare the weld to the weld procedure specification. If a weld is outside the WPS, the system can send an alert so that users can repair the weld right away and begin identifying the root cause of problems.

The app offers supervisors and managers a global dashboard that provides insight into four areas of project management: current production state of a project, percentage of welds completed, repair rate, and welds waiting. The app complements the current products in the InduSuite platform, including WeldCloud Notes and WeldCloud Productivity.

Instead of manually recording welding data, the app digitizes the process for speed and accuracy. With the universal connector or WeldCloud-enabled power source, welding data for nearly any brand of welding machine can be recorded and analyzed.

The app also identifies production bottlenecks by tracking weld stages and allows customers to track all projects with each subcontractor; print weld reports with NDT requirements; and get statistical measurements of assemblies, parts, welds, repair rates, audit logs, and full counts of all types of documents.
