Refining welding data into measurable units
The Kemppi Arc System, KAS, is a comprehensive solution for welding data collection and analysis, offered by Kemppi, which helps to improve quality and productivity in the welding industry.
KAS supplies real facts about welding as well as analyses based on those facts to be used in development of production processes.
It's purpose is to replace welding related illusions with true facts. The facts can then be used as the basis for reliable production development plans via increased cost-awareness and implementing measures based on actual welding data.
KAS is a service utilising high technology
Kemppi Arc System represents the state of the art in systematic methods for welding data collection.
Welding data is collected from welding devices in a digital format, and sent via base stations to the Kemppi Arc System server. The data are analysed on the server, and a report based on that analysis is sent to the customer.
The KAS system produces exact data on welding currents, voltages, wire feed speed, machine maintenance needs and many other details. Data collected in this manner can be complemented with customer specific reference data.
The reports are useful to the welders as well as to the executive level
The Kemppi Arc System solution incorporates a reporting option that can be utilised in all areas of welding work from actual welding to the top executive level in a company.
The produced and refined welding data can be viewed for instance by the welders, production supervisors, and corporate managers. All users have their individual views for the collected data, and all the levels can utilise the information to develop their own role or to boost production.
The finished reports are sent to the client by e-mail according to the desired schedule. Thus, the system enables easy monitoring of the development of productivity, as well as the measures that should be taken when preset limit values are exceeded.
KAS is a comprehensive full service solution
The Kemppi Arc System is a comprehensive full service solution which is tailored according to customer specific needs. In addition to the data transfer hardware, it includes the device architecture specification, consultancy and target specification, design of data analysis, implementation of the system and the required hosting services.
All these items are specifically designed, partly in co-operation with the customer. That is why the delivery chain of the Kemppi Arc System solution essentially differs from the traditional way of purchasing a welding device. The system is always delivered as a turnkey solution where the customer receives the key to developing and managing its own operations.
Productivity of work has traditionally been studied using work analysis methods, but the Kemppi Arc System offers the first productivity monitoring system in the world that is based on high technology. It is also an excellent method for machine fleet management, maintaining quality, and measuring production operations.
The Kemppi Arc System is the latest, revolutionary phase in the evolution of welding device manufacturing.
Productivity and cost-efficiency are important in the welding industry
Productivity monitoring is particularly important in companies that use welding, as the majority of welding costs are caused by labour. Filler wires and shielding gases, welding machine costs and electricity form only a quarter of the costs at the most. The remaining costs come from labour.
The problem with monitoring productivity in welding is, however, that it has to be evaluated on the basis of individual observations that are often ambiguous and uncertain.
The systematic way for data collection offered by the Kemppi Arc System can remove these uncertainties, and the development of productivity and operations can be evaluated in a reliable manner.
When there are precise facts instead of assumptions to base your decisions on, things may suddenly start looking surprisingly different.
