NORTH BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–To enable industry to track gas process parameters, analyze gas consumption, and identify leaks and excess gas consumption, InduSuite trademarkESAB’s software application platform for welding, cutting and robotics has launched FloCloud, a gas monitoring software solution. FloCloud combines the trusted GCE® brand of gas control products with InduSuite’s proven WeldCloud software application platform to build gas manifolds with mesh WiFi-enabled pressure and flow sensors that transmit data to FloCloud applications in the production line.
FloCloud features an easy-to-use analytics dashboard and reporting system that tracks every end-user point and sends notifications when gas pressure drops or airflow exceeds the WPS welding procedure, improving real-time data and reducing the need for manual inspections.
In addition, FloCloud provides comprehensive tracking of gas consumption for each welding job, each welding operator, and each entire project. This information is extremely valuable for cost analysis and job estimating, making it easy to allocate gas costs to specific jobs/projects, allowing you to be more competitive on budgets and more profitable on projects. Knowing exactly how much gas is used in the gas supply system also helps regulate preventive maintenance to replace gaskets and other consumables.
“Manufacturers have long struggled with high gas consumption and had limited visibility into how much gas was wasted through leaks and overuse,” said Jon Hofmann, director of product management for digital solutions at InduSuite, an ESAB brand. “In addition, our customers needed a tool that provided cost analysis of gas consumption so they could accurately bid jobs. FloCloud solves these problems and provides an immediate return on investment.”
InduSuite customers who have early access to FloCloud are seeing the following benefits:
-
Stopping leaks and overconsumption saved the major petroleum gas consumer more than €1 million in gas bills and more than 240,000 liters (8,475 cubic feet) of welding gas usage.
-
Another customer was losing €6,000 per day by stopping to line up for cylinder changes. With FloCloud’s tracking mechanism and knowing exactly how much gas is needed for each job, users no longer run out of gas during a shift and can change bottles during scheduled breaks or shift changes.
FloCloud is designed to withstand the harsh environments of medium to high volume natural gas users including gas distribution companies, welding in oil, gas and petrochemical operations, shipyards and offshore applications, transportation equipment manufacturers, construction, mining and agriculture, and in the future, specialty gases in food and beverage, hospital and laboratory applications.
