1 Welding Production Analysis MODULE OF WELDEYE WELDING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 1(7)

2 Welding Production Analysis THE BEST WAY FOR MONITORING ARC-ON TIME IN WELDING Knowing your welding production inside-out is an advantage any manager would love to have. However, even a simple solution for tracking production efficiency can bring significant benefits for most companies. The universal WeldEye for Welding Production Analysis is a light and cost-efficient software that tracks and measures the arc-on time of welding stations and standard times in serial production. Furthermore, it provides information on the time spent on non-welding activities with reason codes. The software gathers data with a reading device that is compatible with any brand's welding equipment, giving you the possibility to monitor your entire welding fleet with one solution. To support analysis, WeldEye arranges the data into user-friendly visualizations, and provides comparison views for managers to identify improvement potential in processes or working methods. In the end, there's only one question - when can we start? KEY BENEFITS INCREASE IN ARC-ON TIME UNIVERSAL SOLUTION IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY Due to continuous production monitoring Connectivity available with your entire welding fleet With better insight and planning KEY APPLICATIONS MECHANICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING STEEL FRAMES MACHINES 2(7)

3 BENEFITS Improved workflow planning due to constant arc-on time monitoring with timeline graphs grouped by welding station, work shifts or projects Interactive production layout view available to overcome bottlenecks Possibility to compare planned work schedule against actual activities Reason codes available for the time spent on non-welding activities, e.g. grinding, gouging or moving the work piece Suitable for use with any brand s welding equipment Cloud-based software requires no extra installations and is always up-to-date as welding production progresses Enables third party data connections via cloud APIs FUNCTIONS MONITORING AND ANALYTICS Includes the measuring and tracking of arc-on time and the time spent on non-welding activities with basic data visualizations 3(7)

4 IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH INCREASED INSIGHT A wise man once said that in order to know, you must first measure. In our experience, only by applying continuous production monitoring it is possible to increase arc-on time by even 40%. In practice, this means shorter production lead times, which is especially great in the times of large projects and tight schedules. With improved insight, managers also have the possibility to identify improvement potential in welding related processes and organize the production in a smarter way. UNIVERSAL SOLUTION WeldEye is a universal solution that is compatible with any brand's welding equipment. This means that your entire welding fleet can be connected to the software to monitor arc-on time via wlan-connected hardware. The cloud-based and web browser operated software requires no extra installations and can be accessed anywhere with any computer, laptop or mobile device with an internet connection. COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY CONTROL When operating in a heavily standardized industry, companies are under constant pressure to meet strict welding quality and documentation requirements. In addition to the functionalities for monitoring welding productivity, WeldEye for Welding Quality Management enables comprehensive welding quality control by verifying 100% compliance with WPSs, reporting non-conformances, and offering weld-specific traceability. 4(7)
