Simple object tracking is much easier than…
Data is what makes much of the modern world run. Data analysis is increasingly being used in industries to refine designs, develop more efficient procedures, and improve the quality of work overall. Welding is no different. Weld process data capture enables the storage of in-depth information about how welds are…
The welding process balances heat, electricity, and metallurgy in a complex interplay. The result is a nearly contiguous extension of the metal substrate across the joint. The welding process is a marvel that has made much of what we take for granted possible: goods delivered to us via ships, electric…
Analytics is a hot topic in every industry these days. Advances in networking have made it possible to capture data of all kinds, such as customer interactions with websites and their buying behavior as well as data concerning workers’ habits and their productivity. This data, in turn, is used to…
One of the most exciting new developments in technology is the Internet of Things (IoT), or the connection of smart devices to the global network of the internet.
