Production Monitoring software from The Lincoln Electric Co enables personnel to monitor weld data for any networked Power Wave power source at the touch

Production Monitoring software from The Lincoln Electric Co enables personnel to monitor weld data for any networked Power Wave power source at the touch of a button.

This software also permits storing and sharing files, monitoring production tasks, setting weld limits and tolerances, and tracking consumable inventory. With the software, welding machine faults can also be logged and e-mailed, while diagnostic troubleshooting can be performed remotely. By integrating digital technology to network welding equipment, these functions can be performed from anywhere:

  • Easily set welding limits based on sampling with the Installation/Set-up Wizard.

  • View the status of multiple networked Power Wave welding power sources at the push of button.

  • Collect and store long- and short-term weld history.

  • Execute actions or develop communication alerts when out of limit.

  • Pinpoint work shift problems and evaluate production cycle and output using work shift timers and production reports.

  • Manage and set tolerance data for each of 32 unique weld profiles.

  • E-mail data to multiple users to provide information on specific events, or potential or real-time problems.

  • Automatic wire usage tracking and notification to minimize downtime for consumable replacement.

  • Generate power source performance reports.
