Abstract: A metal fabrication resource performance monitoring method includes collecting data representative of a parameter sampled during one or more metal fabrication operations of one or more metal fabrication resources, the one or more resources being selectable by a user from a listing of individual and groups of resources, receiving event data comprising a time that an event occurred, via at least one computer processor, determining a first analyzed system parameter from the collected data, via the at least one computer processor, populating a dashboard page with graphical indicia representative of the first analyzed system parameter before and after the event, and transmitting the dashboard page to a user-viewable display.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for utilizing re-usable and re-configurable reporter modules in welding-type setups. A hardware-based reporting module may be used to handle reporting function. The hardware-based reporting module being configured to interface with a welding-type setup, to obtain welding-type data associated with the welding-type setup; and to interface with a remote central repository for communicating the obtained welding-type data, based on a predefined reporting format. The hardware-based reporting module is configured to process the welding-type data for communication to the remote central repository.
