North Bethesda, Md – InduSuite has introduced its newest application, FloCloud, to its line of welding and cutting digital software solutions. FloCloud includes a combination pressure and flow sensor system that digitally tracks the pressure, temperature, consumption and complete flow of gas from the manifold start to the welding operator’s arc, and automatically communicates this data. FloCloud’s easy-to-use dashboard and reporting system tracks every end user point and sends notifications if gas pressure drops (potential leak) or if the flow is outside the process parameters and preset WPS (weld procedure specification). Between overconsumption and several leakages, a large gas consumer in the oil and gas industry saved over $1 million in its gas spend and over 240,000 l (8,475 cu. ft.) of gas within one-year using FloCloud. See FloCloud in action in booth W3801 at FABTECH, October 15 – 17 in Orlando, Florida.
“Our customers are struggling with high gas consumption and have limited knowledge on how much gas is wasted in leaks and overuse,” says Jon Hofmann, Director of Product Management Digital Solutions, ESAB InduSuite. “Additionally, our customers asked for a tool that provides cost analysis on gas consumption, to bid jobs accurately. FloCloud can solve these issues and provide an immediate ROI.”
FloCloud tracks complete gas consumption per welding job, per welding operator and per overall project. This information is valuable for cost analysis and job estimating by easily allocating gas cost to a specific job/project to be more competitive in quotes and more profitable in projects. The robust, battery-powered sensors capture the data, and the software sends all the information directly to the cloud, which can then be accessed via a computer, tablet or other mobile device. Because the information is transmitted directly from the end points, there is no chance for misinformation. This also reduces administration of manually checking flowrates and gas levels. The FloCloud dashboard is created on the same platform as InduSuite’s WeldCloud applications in an easy-to-use format for traceability measures in graphic, chart and customizable reporting.
By knowing exactly what the gas consumption is in real-time, cylinder swap-out can be planned and uptime is improved. One customer was losing €6,000 per day by shutting the line down to swap a gas cylinder. With FloCloud’s tracking mechanism and knowing exactly how much gas is needed per job, they never run out of gas and these cylinder swaps are now done during scheduled breaks or shift changes. Knowing exactly how much gas is used within the gas supply system also helps regulate preventative maintenance to replace sealings and other consumables.
FloCloud allows a user to set parameters for gas consumption and when that consumption goes over or under this specification, the user is notified immediately. This is critical when identifying leakages, not just for gas and money waste, but for safety when using gases in enclosed areas. This also ensures the operators are staying within the project’s WPS for gas usage to eliminate secondary contamination from overuse and achieve necessary weld quality. Just like with WeldCloud, “event” monitoring and reporting can be identified and customized to meet specific needs.
By having an accurate report of gas consumption, predictive ordering patterns can be achieved. This saves money in inventory and assures that a project is never delayed due to a gas or cylinder shortage. This is also beneficial for gas distributors to plan their deliveries and customer needs.
FloCloud is beneficial to any construction site, manufacturer or fabrication company that is using gas at a mid- to high-consumption rate. For large consumers of gas, incredible savings can be discovered via overuse and leakage. For companies with multiple locations and installations, monitoring gas usage via parameter and WPS guidelines are essential for achieving quality weldments. Future expanded functionality of FloCloud will provide customers working with specialty gases, in food and beverage industries, hospitals and labs – accurate gas flow monitoring and tracking as well. Integrating FloCloud with current WeldCloud and CutCloud enabled devices and ESAB’s Aristo® and Warrior® Edge TrueFlow™ gas meters, will provide complete control, monitoring and reporting functionality. This increased functionality is expected throughout 2024-25 and will occur seamlessly within customer’s FloCloud systems.
