Industry 4.0 in welding – myth or reality?

No matter who you are, what you do or where you are in the world, you are never far from a weld. People might not always realize it when they go about their business, but high-quality welding has a daily role in our built environments. Welds hold buildings, ships and steel frames hidden within walls securely together.

Digitalization

The steel industry is without a doubt one of the highest CO2-emitting industries and its effects on the environment raise concerns. High-strength and “green” steel can offer both environmental and financial benefits for manufacturers that contribute to sustainable development. But how ready are we to commit to it?

Innovation

Managing welding production with a cloud-based software solution has considerable advantages. For one, it gives work supervisors or quality assurance teams the convenience of working remotely from home. It increases transparency, quality and efficiency, thanks to improved information flow and traceability. The welders also receive immediate feedback on their work.

Digitalization

One of the most important elements in developing welding equipment has long been improving welding processes and creating new process variations. Modern measurement and arc control methods have made a wide range of variations in the arc welding process possible. These advanced welding processes significantly improve welding production efficiency and weld quality. This article presents the special processes and operations developed by Kemppi for MIG/MAG welding.

Welding ABC, Manual welding

Welding traceability is becoming an increasingly essential requirement in industries where safety, quality, and compliance are paramount.

Digitalization

Cobot welding integrates collaborative robots (cobots) into welding processes to enhance productivity, quality, and safety.
