What’s next for welding and fabrication? At ESAB, we’ve been asking that question every day, and now we’re ready to share the answer. ESAB Next isn’t just a campaign; it’s a movement toward smarter, faster, and more connected solutions that transform the way you work.
We know the challenges you face tight deadlines, complex projects, and the constant pressure to deliver quality without compromise. That’s why ESAB Next is all about giving you tools that make life easier, production smoother, and results better. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming your way:
InduSuite is the backbone of connected fabrication bringing together data, automation, and insights to keep your shop floor running at peak performance.
WeldCloud: AI Part Validator
This isn’t just a tool, it’s a game-changer. Train your parts to capture their unique parameter signature, and the AI will automatically identify them during production. It counts completed parts, flags potential missing welds, and reduces the need for visual inspections. The result? Higher quality scores and fewer surprises during audits.

WeldCloud Assembly
Automatic Data Log
Traceability is critical, and now it’s effortless. With automatic data logging, scanned filler metals and operator details flow directly from your welding equipment into WeldCloud Assembly. Filler metal lots, flux lots, and operator IDs are registered instantly saving hours for QA teams and ensuring bulletproof project records.
NDT Dashboard
Inspections can slow everything down but not anymore. The NDT Dashboard in WeldCloud Assembly gives you real-time visibility into non-destructive testing progress. See what’s planned, what’s completed, and keep projects moving toward shipment without bottlenecks.
WeldCloud Fleet: Checklists v2
Maintenance compliance just got an upgrade. The new version of checklists in WeldCloud Fleet lets you monitor completion rates in real time and sends alerts when tasks are missed. This means fewer gaps, better accountability, and a shop floor that runs like a well-oiled machine.
WeldCloud Productivity: Custom Tags
Your data, your way. Add custom tags for welding positions, weld types, or any other critical detail. Later, filter and analyze in WeldCloud Productivity to uncover trends and optimize processes. With text, numeric, and fixed list options, flexibility is the name of the game.
FloCloud: Gas Management Made Simple
Gas systems are the lifeblood of your operation, and FloCloud makes managing them easier than ever.
CSV Imports
Adding sensors and gas sources used to be a chore. Now, with CSV import functionality, you can onboard multiple devices in bulk using a simple template. It’s fast, accurate, and eliminates manual entry headaches.
Customized Reports
Data is only as good as the insights you draw from it. FloCloud now lets you build tailored reports that combine multiple graphs and filter settings into one comprehensive view. Whether you’re tracking consumption trends or optimizing costs, these reports give you the big picture.
OCTOPUZ: Smarter Robot Programming
Robotics should simplify your workflow not complicate it. OCTOPUZ delivers tools that make programming intuitive and efficient.
Improved CAD Modeling Tools
Preparing CAD models for robotic programming can be time-consuming. Our enhanced tools let you explode assemblies, combine bodies, and modify colors with ease creating cleaner, more usable models that speed up programming.
Create Parametric Components
Need fences, tables, or pedestals? Create them in seconds with parametric components. This feature accelerates cell layout creation and ensures consistency across all your projects perfect for rapid prototyping.
Automation is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. That’s why we’ve developed solutions that meet the real demands of modern fabrication.
ROBBI Mobile
Compact, versatile, and engineered for high-mix, low- to medium-volume production environments. ROBBI Mobile boosts output and efficiency without adding headcount all within a small footprint.
ROBBI 360
An enclosed cobot welding cell with a manual turntable for maximum safety and productivity. ROBBI 360 delivers consistent weld quality and accelerates throughput, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments.
