ESAB & Wipro Digital Case Study by PAC Innovation

The PAC Innovation Register Case Studies for the Internet of Things (IoT) present cases implemented in the IoT space.

The Customer: ESAB, Manufacturer Of Welding Goods

ESAB is a world leader in the production of welding and cutting equipment and consumables. The company offers a world of products and solutions for virtually every welding and cutting process and application. ESAB serves industries including among others automotive, power generation, ship building and offshore, transport and mobility machinery. Sales and support is established in 80 countries and there are 26 manufacturing plants across four continents. ESAB has more than 8,700 employees. Project background: ESAB aimed at a technological transformation of their entire global operations. Prior to the project, machines that left production for client supply had not been connected. The status and parameters of equipment and the types of consumable used in processes were manually recorded. Below the line, neither ESAB nor its clients had a central overview of the current machine condition.

The Project: Connect ESAB Products With Weld Cloud

ESAB partnered with Wipro Digital to implement a connected vision. Connectivity technologies like 3G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connect ESAB products with the company’s Weld Cloud. The solution allows enterprises and welding services companies to better track, monitor and optimize the performance of their welding equipment and the welding process. The solution can also push settings to machines. The project helped ESAB reach the main digital goals, such as: providing a platform to connect distributed ESAB products to a central portal and building a foundation for data-driven decision-making.

“Paramount to success in IoT is building and leveraging a leading eco-system of partners. Wipro has been a valuable and symbiotic partner for ESAB – from shaping the strategy to driving fast execution. I see ESAB’s deep partnership with Wipro as a competitive advantage which will drive significant value for both parties going forward." - Anders Lindh – Director of Corporate Strategy, Head of Data Driven Services, at ESAB
