Easy entry into the world of digitized welding
WeldCube Air is the elegant Fronius solution to what would otherwise be a complex welding challenge. This cloud-based software solution brings transparency to welding operations and grants a clear overview of welding certificates and welding procedure specifications (WPS) at all times. It is a quick and straightforward way for companies to start benefitting from digitalization and helps with quality assurance and resource efficiency.
Small and medium-sized companies are under more pressure than ever to deliver quality that they can prove complies with the applicable standards, while still being able to work economically and efficiently. “Compliance with standards usually involves a lot of bureaucracy. In addition, any potential for optimization should be identified and quickly implemented without disrupting day-to-day operations in order to remain competitive,” says Joachim Böck, Strategic Product Manager at Fronius International. “Our WeldCube Air platform takes the strain off welding specialists, freeing up their time, and providing them with a well-structured and particularly user-friendly tool.”
No more paperwork and Excel lists
WeldCube Air assists welding supervisors with managing and updating welding certificates. Everything is brought together in one place and managed digitally, allowing supervisors to call up the current qualification status of individual welders at any time. Certifications that are soon to expire are flagged so that they can be renewed in a timely manner.
WPS-compliant welding—verifiably ensuring quality
It is not easy to keep track of all the welding procedure specifications, continuously update them, and ensure that they are applied correctly. However, this is the only way to fulfill all the verification obligations. Thanks to its search function, WeldCube Air provides welding supervisors with clarity and an overview of this slew of documents. Standard-compliant parameter sets (jobs) can be prepared with ease and rolled out to the entire welding machine fleet at the click of a button. This allows welders to quickly find the correct settings for the WPS-compliant welding task, reducing the risk of errors. The valuable time saved overall can be invested in activities like optimizing processes.
Data transparency makes welding companies fit for the future
The WeldCube Air platform is much more than a digital store for WPS documents, operating instructions, and spare parts lists. It also enables all intelligent Fronius welding machines to be managed centrally, such as by conveniently rolling out regular updates with a single click.
What’s more, the software provides a clear overview of all relevant welding-related key figures retrospectively for 30 days, making it easy to keep an eye on production productivity at all times. Optimization potential can then be derived from this data.
Time, energy, and material efficiency are particularly important in this respect, which is why it is worth taking a closer look at parameters like the average wire consumption or the arc switch-on time.
The evaluations can be defined as required, such as for an individual welding machine, a shift, or the entire machine fleet.
Easy to install, secure, and available anywhere
Thanks to innovative cloud technology, the digital solution does not require complex installation and is ready for immediate use. All you need to do is connect the Fronius welding system to WeldCube Air via the Internet. No extra software is required. An overview of the welding performance of individual devices or the entire welding machine fleet is created in an instant—on whatever device you prefer, from a PC to a tablet or smartphone. Fronius ensures certified security (ISO/IEC 27001) and protects the stored data in accordance with strict European data protection directives.
Minimal effort for full transparency
“We have looked closely at the needs of our customers and focused on what is essential for their day-to-day work. The effort required to go digital should be as low as possible, but the benefits should be all the greater to allow them to fully exploit the potential of our high-end welding machines, without any major investment or risk,” concludes Böck. Small and medium-sized companies in particular—and especially their welding supervisors, production managers, and quality controllers—will benefit from the rapidly available and user-friendly WeldCube Air. It can currently be purchased for all TPS/i and iWave models and will also be compatible with future digital Fronius series.
