Abstract
An adaptive welding system including a plurality of welding machines, an edge computing system configured to gather weld data from a first welding machine from the plurality of welding machines, and a weld analytics system configured to build an optimized operational model for the first welding machine based at least upon the weld data. The weld analytics system is further configured to transmit the optimized operational model to the first welding machine as a firmware image.
Claims20
An adaptive welding system comprising:
- a first welding machine;
- an edge computing system configured to gather weld data from the first welding machine;
- and
- a weld analytics system configured to build an optimized operational model for the first welding machine based at least upon the weld data,
- wherein the weld analytics system is further configured to transmit the optimized operational model to the first welding machine as a firmware image.
An adaptive welding system comprising:
- a first welding machine;
- a weld analytics system configured to receive weld data from the first welding machine and to optimize an operational model for the first welding machine based at least upon weld data received from other welding machines via a cloud computing service,
- wherein the weld analytics system is further configured to transmit the optimized operational model to the first welding machine as a firmware image.
A method of tracking weld quality for a group of sequential welds comprising:
- receiving, via a weld analytics system, weld data from a first welding machine,
- building, via the weld analytics system, an optimized operational model for the first welding machine based at least upon the weld data, and
- transmitting, via the weld analytics system, the optimized operational model to the first welding machine as a firmware image.
