Gas-Monitoring Software for Welding
August 28, 2024Comments
InduSuite, Esab’s platform of software applications for welding, cutting and robotics, has introduced FloCloud gas-monitoring software that enables the industry to track gas process parameters, analyze gas consumption and identify gas leaks and over-consumption.
FloCloud features a simple-to-use analytics dashboard (pictured) and reporting system that tracks every end-user point and sends notifications if gas pressure drops or if gas flow is outside of WPS (Weld Procedure Specification) parameters, improving real-time data and reducing the need for manual checks, according to company officials.
Also, FloCloud tracks complete gas consumption per welding job, per welding operator and per overall project—valuable information for cost analysis and job estimating. The software allocates gas cost to a specific job/project to enable increased competitiveness in quotes and increased project profitability. And, knowing exactly how much gas is used within the gas-supply system also helps regulate preventive maintenance to replace seals and other consumables.
“Fabricators and manufacturers struggle with high gas consumption and have limited knowledge on how much gas is wasted in leaks and overuse,” says Jon Hofmann, director of product management digital solutions for InduSuite. “Additionally, our customers asked for a tool that provides cost analysis on gas consumption so that they accurately can bid jobs. FloCloud can solve these issues and provide an immediate ROI.”
