Welding data collection: identifier database

X8 MIG Welder can provide 100 % traceability for every weld. For this, enter various identifiers in the system before welding, for example, the welder's identity, WPS, and the number of the weld.

This identification data resides in the WeldEye cloud service, from where the device takes the data and matches it with the identifiers that the welder has entered either manually or using barcodes.

The identification database is synchronized from WeldEye to the device every 15 minutes when the welding system is online. A local database is stored in the power source's internal memory to ensure reliable WeldEye functionality also in poor connectivity situations.

If you enter a new barcode in Control Pad, for example, a new filler batch number, it appears also in the WeldEye cloud service, and is available for use by all welding systems connected to the service.

The 15-minute delay in updating the identifier database means that it takes up to 15 minutes for the device to recognize any new identifiers added to the WeldEye database.
