WeldEye enables remote work in welding production
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.

Industry 4.0 in welding – myth or reality?
Industry 4.0 refers to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. What does it mean, and how does it fit into the conservative world of welding? Can the intelligence of a welding machine truly bring additional value to an organization and benefit welders as well?

Stop the hassle and just get to work
Imagine 40 welders in a workshop. Each of them has 4–5 different welding qualifications which put the total at around a hefty 200 qualification certificates. As usual, these documents have to be prolonged every six months.

Internet of Welding – reaching for the top of competitiveness
Internet of Things has been a buzz word among industry representatives for a few years now. It is discussed in various seminars and workshops every week. However, the topics covered have changed over time. In the beginning, the focus was on connecting devices to data networks. The next phase was adding sensors for various events and phenomena.

Eine Multiprozess-Schweißmaschine ist der beste Freund des Schweißers für anspruchsvolle Anwendungen
Ein geübter und erfahrener Schweißer kann mit verschiedenen Materialien, Schweißanwendungen und Positionen umgehen – auch unter schwierigen Bedingungen. Doch es kommt nicht nur auf die Fähigkeiten an: ohne die richtige hochwertige Schweißausrüstung sind hervorragende Schweißnähte nur ein Traum. Die Leistung einer Schweißmaschine wirkt sich auch direkt auf den Zeitaufwand für Schweißaufgaben aus. Erhebliche Kosteneinsparungen sind nur möglich, wenn die Arbeit in minimaler Zeit mit maximalen Ergebnissen erledigt wird.

70 years of arc welding excellence
Over the span of the past 70 years, Finnish arc welding equipment manufacturer and software developer Kemppi has grown from a small family company to a global welding technology leader and a pioneer in its industry. In addition to the 70th anniversary of the company's founding, 2019 marks the 100th birthday of its late founder, Martti Kemppi.

Accurate welding data monitoring and cost-savings that count
When it comes to demanding welding tasks, quality matters more than quantity. Furthermore, the current standards – especially the norms applied to subsea welding – require that quality is constantly observed, measured, and reported. Without digital quality control systems, this task may prove to be overly costly and time-consuming. Kemppi’s WeldEye Quality Control is a universal software solution for verifying compliance of welding quality with welding procedure specifications. When integrated into the customer’s operating systems, WeldEye Quality Control brings considerable savings. Let’s listen to some user experiences from Norway.

Say bye-bye to costly weld repairs with 100% WPS compliance
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.

Can you afford to ignore the value of welding knowledge?
The welding production chain is complex. Besides the actual welding work, one has to consider resource planning, welding procedure and qualification management, documentation, WPS compliance, standardization and requirements.

What could you save by digitalizing your WPS?
The increasing complexity of welded products has made the development of welding procedure specifications (WPS) more time-consuming. As industries move to subcontractor and multi-site based operating models, WPS management also becomes more demanding.

Die digitale Karriere von Kari Kemppi
Kari Kemppi, der sich in diesem Sommer aus dem Geschäftsleben zurückgezogen hat, konnte in den 40 Jahren seiner beruflichen Tätigkeit miterleben, wie das von seinem Onkel Martti Kemppi gegründete Unternehmen für Lichtbogen-Schweißausrüstung zu einem internationalen Pionier in der Schweißbranche geworden ist.

Pionierarbeit ist eine Geisteshaltung – jetzt und vor 25 Jahren
Mit unterschiedlichen Ideen experimentieren, schnell und in Modellgröße, dann im großen Maßstab und noch schneller umsetzen – das ist meine Erfahrung mit Pionierarbeit nach einigen Monaten als Chief Digital Officer bei Kemppi. Experimentieren stand schon vor 25 Jahren bei Kemppi auf der Tagesordnung, als wir eine neue, numerische Möglichkeit zur Steuerung von Lichtbogeneigenschaften entwickelten und die weltweit erste digitale Schweißstromquelle auf den Markt brachten.
