Abstract: A weld analytics system and method of tracking weld quality for a group of sequential welds. In one example, a weld analytics system receives a welding plan for a plurality of welds being performed by at least one welding machine. The weld analytics system determines an overall weld quality for the plurality of welds, based at least upon weld data from the at least one welding machine; and transmits a signal indicative of the overall weld quality of the plurality of welds to an interactive user terminal.

Abstract: An adaptive welding system including a plurality of welding machines, an edge computing system configured to gather weld data from a first welding machine from the plurality of welding machines, and a weld analytics system configured to build an optimized operational model for the first welding machine based at least upon the weld data. The weld analytics system is further configured to transmit the optimized operational model to the first welding machine as a firmware image.

Abstract: A system for detecting material caught between a chuck and a removable tool. The system includes a sensor mounted on a surface that experiences a vibration caused by a rotating of the removable tool in the chuck. The system also includes an electronic processor configured to receive raw vibration data from the sensor, generate transformed vibration data by transforming the raw vibration data, and using a machine learning model, analyze the raw vibration data and transformed vibration data to determine whether there is a piece of material caught between the removable tool and the chuck.
