Digitizing data, the downloading, sharing, and analyzing of it is a cornerstone of Industry 4.0. So what does that mean for welding workshops in the manufacturing and fabrication industries?
“What gets measured, can be managed.”
Consider if you had real-time figures from the shop floor such as arc on times, operating duty cycles, the parameters used on an individual weld; you can use this data to target and drive improvements in productivity and quality control. Drill down to individual machines or combine data from a number of machines in a section to identify inefficiencies, or look at total costs across the workshop and use this information to assist quotes for the next job.
LORCH of Germany developed LORCH CONNECT with two essential prerequisites:
- to be simple
- of immediate practical benefit to the customer.
LORCH Connect is also the most cost-effective welding data digitalisation network system available in NZ today, with a low upfront hardware investment and access through your own customer portal is free for the first year and then a small monthly fee per machine applies.
