By combining PC based technology with real-time control, weld schedule related quality control work instructions and visual checking methods can be distributed and updated to the shop floor to close the quality control loop in corporate level mass manufacturing applications.

Compared with present modular/distributed technology welding systems on the market, these units provide a standalone, self-contained closed loop weld capability directly linked to weld validation media in a single unit platform, thereby simplifying the process and quality engineering steps in setup, monitoring and maintenance.
