    摘要: Systems and methods for distributed weld monitoring using jobs and job sessions are described. In some examples, a distributed monitoring system comprises a central monitoring station in communication with a user device and a local monitoring station. A user may use the user device to enter weld monitoring data that is subsequently received by the central monitoring station and stored in a central data repository. The central data repository may associate the weld monitoring data with welding data received from a welding device, as well as with a job session that is, in turn, associated with a job.

    摘要: Systems and methods for welding are described. The welding system can include, for example, a welding power source, a welding torch, and a computer. The computer and the welding torch can be operatively coupled to the power source. A first weld is performed and its signature is saved by the computer. It is considered a high quality weld and is selected as a weld reference. A second weld is performed and its signature is saved by the computer. The computer then computes a single weld confidence result for the second weld based on a comparison between the signature data of the second weld and the signature data of the reference weld. A weld fault condition is triggered based on the single weld confidence result which causes the welding system to stop or to modify the welding operation, and/or which causes the welding system to send out communications relating to the triggering of the weld fault condition.

    摘要: Systems and methods for part quality confidence are described. In some examples a part quality confidence system may receive inputs (e.g., via sensor measurements, operator input(s), etc.) related to one or more stages of a part assembly process. The inputs may be representative of certain feature characteristics of the part and/or one or more of the assembly stages. A computational engine of the system may determine one or more quality characteristics of the part based on the feature characteristics, and assign a quality metric to the part (and/or part assembly process) based on the quality characteristics. In some examples, a quality rating may be assigned to the part based on the quality metric, so as to provide an even simpler abstraction.

    摘要: Systems and methods for weld monitoring systems with unknown downtime disabling are described. In some examples, a local monitoring station may perform activity tracking as part of a larger weld monitoring system. A welding device may send welding data to the local monitoring system, which may be used to determine a current activity. A user may also manually input an activity to use as the current activity. If the local monitoring station is unable to determine a current activity from the welding data or user input, then the local monitoring station determines that an unknown downtime has occurred. If the local monitoring station cannot determine a reason for the unknown downtime, the welding device may be disabled until the user provides a reason for the unknown downtime.
