    Abstract: An example welding interface device, includes: a user interface device; a processor; and a machine readable storage device comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine, via the user interface device, information describing physical characteristics of a workpiece for a weld to be performed; based on the physical characteristics, determining at least one of a thermal characteristic of the workpiece, an electrical characteristic of the workpiece, or a chemical characteristic of the workpiece; determine a boundary condition associated with the workpiece based on the at least one of the thermal characteristic, the electrical characteristic, or the chemical characteristic; and output a welding process based on the boundary condition.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for welding asset tracking are disclosed. In some examples, a welding asset tracking system may comprise an asset tracking network of tags, hubs, and/or gateways retained by welding assets within a welding area. The asset tracking network may obtain and/or communicate to an asset tracking server welding data related to one or more of the welding assets, as well as position data obtained via an internal and/or external positioning system. In this way, the welding asset tracking server may continually receive updated information regarding each welding assets identity, location, and/or use. The asset tracking server may additionally send a command to a selected welding asset that causes an interface of the selected welding asset to emit an output that enables an operator to physically identify the welding asset.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for welding asset tracking with heartbeat monitoring are disclosed. In some examples, a welding asset tracking system may comprise an asset tracking network of tags, hubs, and/or gateways retained by welding assets within a welding area. The welding asset tracking system may generate heartbeat signals that certain welding assets may require for normal operation, so as to ensure the welding assets are used in appropriate welding contexts and/or welding areas. In some examples, information obtained from the asset tracking network may be used to determine whether one or more heartbeat signals should be discontinued.

In this way, the welding asset tracking server may continually receive updated information regarding each welding assets identity, location, and/or use. This updated information may be used by a welding asset manager to locate welding assets, allocate assets to different welding jobs, as well as determine whether assets should be brought in for maintenance and/or whether new assets should be acquired.
