To provide a direct interface from all ESAB cutting and marking process and provide real time monitoring, controlling and reporting of the processes, ESAB Cutting Systems has instructed PDM (Production Data Mangement) software. It will assist users in realising lower operational costs and reduced cycle times whilst giving total transparency to all cutting and marking activities.

Designed as a modular package, basic PDM embraces a number of software tools covering functions and as the fully automated recording of all machine and process data of ESAB cutting machines, which allows analysis of their performance. The PDM Database module provides data storage for planned production tasks and also monitors reported data. The Workshop View provides automatically updated visualiation of all machines and workplace connected to the PDM system. The Maintenance Module records the wear and use of consumables and documentation of maintenance measures.

All the modules combine to provide the user with real time visulisation of the performance of the cutting processes and the facility to take immediate action to correct or adjust machine operator or planned production schedule.
