Kemppi, SSAB join forces in digitalizing steel material information in welding production

Welding digitalization provider Kemppi and global steel company SSAB have integrated their cloud-based WeldEye and SmartSteel platforms to streamline base material information handling in welding production. The results of the pilot now are available for all companies that currently are using both digital platforms.

SSAB SmartSteel is a cloud-based platform that stores all the data related to steel, from its manufacturing to delivery, processing, use, and recycling. When the user scans a unique identity code on the steel plate, base material information and material certificates become available in digital format.

Kemppi has been working with SSAB’s API in automating SmartSteel data transfer directly to welding equipment through its WeldEye cloud-based software for welding management. The integration of the two systems streamlines the welding process even further, as the necessary base material information will be available to the welders quickly and easily.
