Redefining Automation in Welding: The Implications of ESAB's New Cobot for Job Shops Nationwide

The future of welding in job shops across the nation has received an innovative boost with the introduction of ESAB's first collaborative robot (cobot) for MIG and pulsed MIG welding applications. The ESAB Cobot, designed to work with steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys, stands as a testament to the transformative power of automation and its benefits to the fabrication industry. What sets this cobot apart is not just its capabilities, but its intuitive operation, rapid deployment, and suitability for high-mix, low- to medium-volume applications—all without the need for complex programming.

For fabricators, this technology offers an empowering solution to long-standing industry challenges: improving productivity and addressing worker shortages. However, to fully appreciate the benefits of the ESAB Cobot, one must first grasp the broader context of the problems it solves.

Automation has long been hailed as the future of manufacturing, promising increased efficiency and production rates while reducing costs. However, its adoption in welding, especially in job shops, has been relatively slow. A significant reason for this lag has been the inherent complexities associated with traditional automation systems: high initial costs, a need for specialist programmers, and the lengthy deployment time of robot cells.

The arrival of ESAB's Cobot mitigates these challenges. By leveraging smart technology and intuitive software applications, ESAB empowers operators to teach welding paths using a standard smartphone or tablet and a 'Smart Puck.' This approach simplifies the programming process, making it as easy as creating a song playlist. This simplicity is a radical departure from the intricate programming of other cobots, making the ESAB Cobot a more accessible, user-friendly automation solution. Furthermore, its rapid

deployment time and comparatively low cost also make it an attractive option for small to medium-sized job shops looking to stay competitive.

But, what exactly does this mean for job shops?

First, the cobot presents a unique solution for improving productivity. ESAB's President, Fabrication Technology, Olivier Biebuyck, claims that the cobot can enhance productivity by 200 to 400%. By automating high-mix, low-volume applications, the ESAB Cobot enables job shops to significantly increase the number of parts welded without the need for additional staff. This efficiency translates into higher output and revenue, with the existing workforce freed up to focus on more value-driven tasks.

Moreover, the cobot's ability to improve quality and repeatability addresses another pressing issue in the industry. With the cobot, job shops can maintain a consistent quality of output, a critical factor in client satisfaction and repeat business. It eliminates human error and fatigue, ensuring each weld meets the highest standards, thereby reducing rework and wastage.

In the context of worker shortages, a critical issue facing the welding industry, the cobot also offers a potential solution. It allows businesses to meet increasing production demands without the need to hire additional skilled welders—a notable advantage given the current skills gap in the manufacturing sector.

Furthermore, the ESAB Cobot features a Universal Robots UR10e industrial robot arm and includes ESAB's premiere heavy industrial welding system, the Aristo 500ix pulse power source, providing a reliable and robust solution to job shops. The Siegmund 32- x 48-in. welding table allows the cobot to be moved around the shop with ease, ensuring versatility in its application.

In the era of Industry 4.0, the ESAB Cobot, with its cloud-connected software app, stands out as a smart,

intuitive tool. The app offers real-time support, access to knowledge articles, tutorials, and automated storage of weld sequences. This feature not only streamlines operations but also creates an effective communication channel for resolving issues promptly, thereby minimizing downtime. A basic plan is available for free, but users also have the option to subscribe to a "pro plan," extending chart visibility from seven to 30 days, among other features, enhancing the cobot's usability.

Of course, no solution would be complete without a proven welding platform. The ESAB Cobot has incorporated the tried-and-tested Aristo 500ix power source with a maximum welding output of 500A, and the RobustFeed U82 wire feeder, known for its reliable operation in harsh environments. This robustness, combined with advanced features like stable arc in all transfer modes, reduced spatter with short circuit MIG, and the benefits associated with pulsed MIG, makes the cobot a formidable addition to the welding arsenal of job shops.

The cobot's wire feeder is also unique in its design. With a completely sealed wire feed compartment, it offers unprecedented protection against external contaminants such as grinding dust, preserving wire integrity and further ensuring the quality of welds. Moreover, an internal heater in the wire feed compartment prevents moisture buildup, reducing the risk of defects related to porosity or hydrogen inclusion, and thus minimizing the potential for rework.

The control of these welding functions lies in the hands of the user through the U82 control panel, a core product of ESAB's industrial lineup for nearly two decades. This interface boasts pre-programmed synergic lines, helping fabricators to begin welding faster and reduce change-over time between parts—a critical factor in increasing operational efficiency in high-mix, low-volume environments.

In conclusion, ESAB's introduction of the Cobot into the market marks a significant advancement in welding automation, addressing critical problems in the industry while unlocking new opportunities for job shops nationwide. By simplifying the programming process and making automation more accessible and user-friendly, ESAB has democratized welding automation. The Cobot stands as a symbol of the future of welding, where advanced technology, accessibility, and practicality coalesce into a powerful tool that empowers job shops to operate more efficiently and competitively.

As we move further into the era of Industry 4.0, such advancements are critical for job shops striving to remain competitive in the face of rapidly changing market dynamics. The ESAB Cobot, with its emphasis on simplicity, flexibility, and productivity, represents a substantial step forward, not just for individual job shops, but for the broader welding and fabrication industry as a whole. It offers a clear demonstration of how technology and innovation can effectively address industry challenges, redefine operational norms, and create a brighter future for welding.

Precision Engineering Firm Takes Quality Control to the Next Level

Much of subcontractor Driven Engineering's turnover comes from F1, although the cost cap imposed on teams over the past couple of years has reduced it somewhat, leading to a greater focus on aerospace, automotive and general engineering work. Owner Ray Harris has historically machined mainly jigs, fixtures and molds for F1 teams, which were telling him that to break into the supply of parts for race cars, he would have to improve his component inspection procedures and quality reports.

British coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology was a beneficiary of those conversations, as Mr Harris placed an order for one of the company's AlteraC 10.7.7 CMMs. During its build at the Castle Donington factory, the machine was reduced in height by about 100 mm so that it would fit through

the entrance to Driven Engineering's latest factory unit in Havant and sit comfortably within a new quality room that was being added. As part of the deal, a single licence of PolyWorks Inspector software was supplied, which is swappable between the CMM and an articulated arm bought in 2020 when Mr Harris worked in a previous location in Portsmouth.

He said, "LK seems to be one of the metrology industry's best-kept secrets. I had not come across them before, but our local calibration company and inspection equipment supplier Mech Metrology & Power Tools introduced me. Although LK is a sizeable operation that is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, with a factory in Derbyshire and a worldwide customer base, it has a smallcompany feel. I got the impression that I would receive good support and back-up, which so far has been the case.

In addition, the CMM is well-built and the software provided is easy to use, including on the portable arm."

The step up to CMM metrology immediately brought in extra F1 work, mainly prismatic machining on three Hermle 5-axis, high-speed machining centres, two of which are fitted with automatic pallet storage and retrieval systems for automated, 24/7 operation. Parts produced are typically for hydraulic manifolds as well as the race car front and rear wings and floor. A lot of titanium is processed, plus stainless steel, aluminium and some engineering plastics. Unlike jigs and fixtures, which have fairly open tolerances, the latest parts have drawing tolerances down to 25 µm true position, which is impossible to check using the portable arm. The CMM on the other hand is able to measure features an order of magnitude smaller, so is easily capable of completing the inspection tasks.

During programming in PolyWorks, Mr Harris simply picks the features and profiles he wants to inspect. The software then automatically sequences the points for the most efficient inspection routine, including all axis movements, head rotations and collision avoidance strategies. He describes the software is particularly easy to use and ideal for someone new to CNC CMM operation. Data is captured both by touch-probing discrete points and tactile scanning using a Renishaw SP25M probe. Vastly more data is generated in a shorter time compared with touch-trigger probing only, enabling faster inspection and hence improved quality control. It also allows more comprehensive reports to be populated with richer information on the accuracy of freeform areas on components as well as dimensions. The PolyWorks software is able to present this data flexibly in a form that the customer prefers and is able to understand easily.

The pre-existing arm was supplied with a touch probe and a laser scanner, but now is used exclusively with the latter sensor for speed

of operation when inspecting, for example, one in five of a batch of 920 aluminium mold tool halves having a complex profile, machined for the aerospace industry. The CMM, on the other hand, was supplied with tactile probing capability only, although it was prepared for laser scanning with a view to adding that capability in the future. Before he invested in the machine, Mr Harris was invited to visit the Castle Donington factory to see a demonstration of an Altera 10.7.7 inspecting one of his components. It was fortuitous, as he was due to race at the Donington Park motorsport circuit nearby, having recently re-entered the sport by driving a GT car in the British Endurance Championship in early 2022. Unfortunately the Donington fixture was cancelled, so to save him the 350 mile round trip, he sent a water system for an F1 car together with the CAD model to the factory by courier and opted to view the demonstration online. LK showed two ways of inspecting the component, first by touch-probing to orientate it on the granite and then laser scanning, and

secondly using an SP25M to probe and touch-scan the part.

Suitably impressed with the latter metrology process, he decided to make the investment in the CMM and PolyWorks, whose ease-of-use is greatly helping his inspection productivity. Programming, due to the level of automation provided by the software, can be carried out in as little as 10 minutes, depending on component complexity and, unlike when using an arm, can be done in advance from the CAD model.

Installation of the CMM has opened up a number of different avenues, as availability of advanced metrology makes new business is easier to win, especially tight-tolerance work. Additionally, Mr Harris has now bought a Ginetta GT race car to hire out for events and intends to start manufacturing a proprietary range of parts for it, such as uprights, bearing supports, axle extensions and drive shafts. The ability to control their quality on the LK CMM to a higher level than would previously have been possible will also enhance this new enterprise.

Automate Medical Device Manufacturing with Tri-Mation Industries

Medical device manufacturers face a clear imperative to automate, yet they also have many unique requirements that can make choosing an automation partner challenging. Manual processes are increasingly difficult to justify in the face of growing demands for manufacturing traceability and the accompanying explosion in the amount of data, among other considerations. Even so, choosing a partner to help in the successful automation of manufacturing processes must be done carefully. Producers need a partner who can help accomplish their revenue objectives while making safe and effective products that comply with all the relevant safety standards.

This article examines some of the special needs of medical device manufacturers and reviews Tri-Mation Industries qualifications to meet those needs.

The Need for Flexibility and Adaptability

The increasing focus by health care agencies on early diagnosis and treatment are leading to a rising number of diagnostic, testing, and surgical procedures. In addition, personalized medicine continues to grow, further increasing the need for testing and corresponding medical devices.

Some automation vendors prefer jobs that allow them to concentrate on high volume without regard to flexibility. While Tri-Mation understands the need to ramp up a production process and the benefits that come from the economies of scale, they also have the skill to design systems that can be easily reconfigured. Such flexibility enables a manufacturer to run different medical devices through the same production system, thereby vastly improving the ROI and quickening the pace of benefits from the automation.

Traceability to Satisfy FDA Requirements

The Food and Drug Administration has stringent

requirements for tracing medical devices back to their origin. Data required may include a lot number, production date, sterilization date and certificate number, among other pieces of information. All of this data must be generated and managed, including the labeling of the medical devices as part of the manufacturing process.

Tri-Mation Industries, located in southwest Michigan, has the expertise and experience to meet these requirements.

Higher Standards of Cleanliness and Accuracy Compared to Other Consumer Products

Medical devices are usually part of life-and-death situations, so there is no tolerance for malfunction or inaccuracy. Especially high-standards for cleanliness are also a standard part of the manufacturing landscape for medical devices, even for something as simple as a tongue depressor.

Founded in 1995, Tri-Mation Industries understands these requirements and knows how to implement systems to comply with these standards. Part of that picture can involve controlling or eliminating direct employee contact with the products being produced.

Products Can Have a Limited Shelf Life and May Require Special Storage Conditions

The suitability for use of a medical device can be affected by numerous factors. And environmental events can

influence how long a manufactured device sustains its fitness for use.

Some of those factors include:

» Storage Conditions - Visible light, air pressure, air-born contamination, humidity, ambient radiation and temperature can all impact the shelf life of a medical device.

» Components - Certain components, such as batteries, may have expiration dates.

» Manufacturing Method - Processes used during manufacturing may affect the storage life of the device.

» Intended Use - The intended use of some medical devices may justify the use of materials that degrade over time.

This is not an exhaustive list, yet it begins to convey the complexity of the automation challenges that must be addressed.

Benefits of Automation

Tri-Mation designs automated assembly systems that integrate handling systems, calibrate components, and improve medical device production capabilities. The advantages to such automated systems include improving both quality and throughput. Working with Tri-Mation Industries enables medical device manufacturers to increase productivity and enhance accuracy and consistency.

Steps Toward Lights-Out Manufacturing

Although the complete manufacturing of a product that no human hands need to touch remains an unattained goal at the time of this writing, some production processes can indeed be completely automated. And as technology improves, it is clear that lights-out manufacturing will become a reality in the not-too-distant future. Medical device makers must keep pace with that technology or face the certainty of being left behind.

Conclusion

Tri-Mation Industries was founded in 1995. With over twenty five years of experience, Tri-Mation has deep experience taking on the complex challenge of automating medical device manufacturing processes and possesses a depth of engineering and technological expertise to continue to innovate and improve as technology advances. Their automation systems can produce a wide range of safe and effective products within the strict requirements and regulations of the medical industry. Medical device assembly automation can be integrated as standalone work cells or fully automated assembly lines.

Nextlabs provides implementation details for their offering.

Zero Trust Data Security

Organizations adopt Zero Trust security models because traditional security models that rely on a perimeter-based approach are no longer sufficient to protect against the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber attacks. Zero Trust is designed to address the limitations of traditional security models by assuming that all access attempts are potentially malicious, even if they are from within the organization’s network. The following are the key drivers for organizations adopting Zero Trust:

» Protect against data breaches: Data breaches can have significant financial and reputational consequences for organizations. Zero Trust helps to reduce the risk of data breaches by limiting access to sensitive data and continuously monitoring all access attempts for signs of suspicious activity.

» Secure access: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote work, which has increased the attack surface for organizations. Zero Trust helps to secure remote access by ensuring that all devices and users are verified and authenticated before being granted access to data or other resources.

» Compliance: Many industries are subject to strict regulatory compliance requirements, such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Zero Trust can help organizations to meet these compliance requirements by ensuring that only authorized users have access to sensitive data.

» Prevention of lateral movement: Once a cyber attacker gains access to a secure network, system, or application, they can move laterally within that resource to find valuable data. Zero Trust can help prevent lateral movement by segmenting a network, system, application, or database into smaller, isolated zones and limiting access to only authorized users and devices.

» Evolving threat landscape: Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and traditional security models may not be able to keep up with the latest threats. Zero Trust is designed to be adaptive and able to evolve with the changing threat landscape, ensuring that organizations are better protected against the latest threats.

By adopting Zero Trust, organizations can better protect their systems, data, and resources from cyber threats. Zero Trust helps organizations to reduce their attack surface,

minimize the impact of a breach, and improve their overall security posture by continuously verifying the identity of users and devices and evaluating the risk profile of access requests.

Zero Trust Principles

Zero Trust principles are a set of security concepts that aim to protect an organization’s systems, data, and resources by assuming that all access attempts are potentially malicious, even if they are from within a secure network, resource, or application. The following are the key principles of Zero Trust:

» Continuous monitoring: All access attempts must be continuously monitored for signs of suspicious behavior, and appropriate action must be taken in response to any suspicious activity.

» Contextual awareness: Security policies and access controls must be based on contextual awareness, such as the user’s role, device location, and sensitivity of the data being accessed.

By following these principles, organizations can better protect their systems, data, and resources from cyber threats. Zero Trust principles help organizations to reduce their attack surface, minimize the impact of a breach, and improve their overall security posture by continuously verifying the identity of users and devices and evaluating the risk profile of access requests.

Data-Centric Security Principles

Data-centric security principles are a set of principles that are focused on protecting an organization’s sensitive data at the data level, as opposed to simply relying on traditional perimeter-based security measures. These principles aim to ensure that the organization’s sensitive data is secured at all times, regardless of its location or how it is being accessed. The following are some of the key principles of data-centric security:

» Data Classification: All data must be classified according

» Never trust, always verify: All users, devices, and applications must be verified and authenticated before being granted access to any resources.

» Least privilege access: Access should be granted on a need-to-know basis, and users should only be granted the minimum level of access required to perform their job functions.

» Assume breach: Assume that an attacker has already compromised a secure resource and act accordingly to limit the attacker’s access and ability to move laterally within the network, system, application, or database.

» Micro-segmentation: Segment resources into small, isolated zones to limit the spread of a breach and prevent attackers from moving laterally.

to its sensitivity, and access must be granted on a need-to-know basis.

» Persistent Data Encryption: Sensitive data must be encrypted both in transit and at rest to protect it from unauthorized access.

» Data Obfuscation: Sensitive data must be masked or redacted, or replaced with a token, which can be used for certain processes without exposing the underlying data to unauthorized access.

» Data Segregation: Data should be segmented as fine-grained as possible, so that access to data can be limited to the minimum necessary for each access request.

» Data Authorization and Entitlement: User entitlements to data must be granted on a need-to-know basis and only after the identity of the user and device has been verified and the risk profile of the access request has been evaluated.

» Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Measures must be taken to prevent data loss, such as preventing unauthorized copying, printing, or emailing of sensitive data.

Data-centric security principles help organizations to better protect their sensitive data by focusing on securing the data itself, rather than just the perimeter around it. By following these principles, organizations can reduce their attack surface, minimize the impact of a breach, and improve their overall security posture by continuously verifying the identity of users and devices and evaluating the risk profile of access requests.

Applying Zero Trust Principles to Data-Centric Security

Zero Trust and Data Centric security can be complementary approaches to security. Zero Trust can help to limit access to sensitive data, while Data Centric security can help to

protect the data itself. By combining the two approaches, organizations can create a comprehensive security strategy that provides both network-level and data-level protection, helping to improve their overall security posture. A Zero Trust Data Security approach allows organizations to do the following.

» Implement Least Privileged Access and Need-to-Know by defining and enforcing security policies that provide fine-grained data access and authorizations to allow users to view and user all of the data they should be able to access and nothing more.

» Segregate Data for export and regulatory compliance by virtually segmenting shared resources.

» Secure Collaboration with Persistent Data Protection that stays with the data and protects it at rest in databases, in use within applications, and on the move when it is shared.

» Unify Access Control with Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), eliminating the need for large numbers of groups or roles and replacing then with a small number of policies where user, data, and environmental attributes are evaluated dynamically at the time of the access request.

» Externalize Access Management and Eliminate Security Silos so that security policies are enforced consistently across the entire organization.

With Zero Trust Data Security, organizations can better protect their sensitive data from cyber threats and ensure that access remains in compliance with security policies. The combination of Zero Trust and Data-Centric Security principles help organizations to reduce their attack surface, minimize the impact of a breach, and improve their overall security posture by continuously verifying the identity of users and devices and evaluating the risk profile of access requests.

Zero Trust Data Security Solution Use Cases

The following are some of the common business applications of Zero Trust Data Security.

» Modernization – With Zero Trust Data Security enterprises can keep data secure during system modernization projects by providing centralized authorization for legacy and new applications.

» Segregation of Duties (SoD) and Compliance – Global enterprises often have many different and overlapping regulations that they need to comply with. Zero Trust Data Security allows organizations to enforce segregation of duties to ensure no violations of applicable regulations, including GDPR, SOX, ITAR, FDA, etc while automating controls and the audit process.

» ERP Consolidation – Enterprises are driven to consolidate multiple existing ERP instances into a single global instance for all of the efficiencies this brings. Zero Trust Data Security allows organizations to protect critical data while consolidating those existing ERPs into a single global instance.

» M&A, JVs, Divestitures – Enterprises in the process of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or joint ventures can keep sensitive data safe while integrating new businesses or splitting off businesses from parent companies. This allows them to comply with M&A, JV, or divestiture agreements while having quicker implementation and lowering the security risk by segregating and partitioning data on existing systems.

» Cybersecurity – Cybersecurity threats are always evolving and organizations must continually adapt their defenses to counter the latest threats. Zero Trust Data Security allows enterprises to reduce cybersecurity risks and implement the best practices as defined in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. This helps facilitate data and system consolidation and migration to the cloud.

» Trade Secret Protection – There are high costs to enterprises when data breaches result in unauthorized access to trade secrets. Zero Trust Data Security makes sure only the right people have access to the right data and reduces the threat of unauthorized disclosure due to insider or outsider threats.

» Automation – Enterprises can have more consistent enforcement of segregation of duties and internal control policies while cutting implementation and maintenance costs by automating business processes and internal controls.

“Since our YuMi cobot hit the market in 2015, we have built up an unparalleled cobot portfolio meeting growing demand for safe and easy-to-use automation solutions to plug gaps in skilled labor,” said Marc Segura President, ABB Robotics. “Addressing the need for collaborative robots with higher payloads and longer reach, our GoFa 10 and 12 cobots extend the benefits of automation to new industrial applications, even for first time users.”

In addition to their enhanced payloads, the GoFa 10 and GoFa 12 cobots offer class-beating tool center point (TCP) speeds of up to two meters per second with 0.02-millimeter repeatability – a two-fold improvement over comparable solutions. IP67-certified against moisture and dust ingress,

they extend the benefits of fast and accurate collaborative robotics to new industrial applications, automating demanding tasks such as machine tending, welding, parts handling, polishing, and assembly. The GoFa 10’s 1.62-meter reach – 14 percent more than others in its class and enough to cover US pallets – makes it ideal for palletizing applications.

Lowering barriers to automation for first-time users and SMEs

The GoFa 10 and GoFa 12 cobots are straightforward to program, deploy, and use, lowering barriers to automation

for first-time users and SMEs. Set-up is made easy with lead-through programming and ABB’s Wizard easy programming software, allowing even non-specialists to quickly automate their applications by manipulating simple graphical command blocks rather than writing complex programming code.

Pre-installed on the cobots’ ABB’s FlexPendant robot controller, the ABB SafeMove robot safety monitoring app’s cutting-edge safety features, including safe speed limits, standstill monitoring, and orientation supervision, enable close collaboration between robots and factory workers without requiring bulky protective barriers or fencing.

The GoFa 10 and GoFa 12 cobots are powered by ABB’s OmniCoreTM controller. The combination of OmniCore’s class-leading motion control provided by ABB’s TrueMove and QuickMove motion control technologies and GoFa’s intelligent torque and position sensors ensures the smooth movements needed for high precision surface finishing, fastening, assembly, and testing tasks. Energy saving features including power re-generation and brake energy recovery reduce power requirements by up to 20 percent, enhancing sustainability.

From The Smart Factory To The Smart Manufacturing Enterprise

https://blog.lumen.com/from-the-smart-factory-to-the-smart-manufacturing-enterprise/

By Andy Chabbasol

What is a smart factory? The manufacturing industry has been asking that question for several years and largely settled on an answer, and it goes something like this:

A smart factory uses advanced technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT, sometimes called the Industrial IoT or IIoT), to optimize production processes within a single manufacturing facility. Advanced technology is deployed to gain data about, and increase control of, manufacturing operations to enhance productivity. Vibration or thermal sensors in the equipment? Check. Measurable reductions in unscheduled downtime? Check.

Many consider the smart factory project done once the IoT devices are installed and are producing data and measuring productivity improvements. There is nothing wrong with that answer, and this is the type of smart factory approach that many manufacturers implement today. I also talk with some firms that operate on the old

“if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” maxim. These companies will acknowledge the potential advantages of how technology enables the smart factory, but they are focused on other issues they think are more strategic in nature, such as supply chain management.

They are just components of the same journey that will eventually be taken. That journey that takes the manufacturer from the smart factory to the smart manufacturing enterprise.

Point Solutions Vs Comprehensive Plans

The smart factory approach solves specific challenges in operating the factory: for example, monitoring machine health. These point solutions generally stop at the factory’s doors. In contrast, the smart manufacturing enterprise connects the advanced technologies used in the production process (smart factory) to other parts of the business, such as supply chain management and product development. For

the smart manufacturing enterprise, advanced technologies are building blocks of a larger strategy that weaves together operating technology (OT) with information technology (IT). Rather than viewing the factory as a unique island of operations, manufacturers can see it as part of a larger digital infrastructure.

Let’s look at an example, one that is becoming more common in an age of hybrid workforces: remote access to data. Plant managers and technicians need access to their plant’s operating data, but they may be at home, in a satellite office, in an airport or walking down the street. The data is incredibly valuable to the manufacturer, but also to bad actors looking to steal the data itself or find an avenue to penetrate the enterprise at large. Access to this data must be secured.

Manufacturers often use multiple layers of security to protect their data and their OT systems, which may not have been designed for today’s modern networking and security standards. Within the factory, data is often replicated from OT systems to IT systems as means to lower any potential surface areas of attack.

Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) is a set of integrated technologies that provides a framework for securing remote data access. SASE builds profiles for users, devices and access channels to properly authenticate both the user, the particular data that the user is permitted or restricted to use, and the security of the connection being used. For example, SASE could protect against data breaches that often occur over public Wi-Fi connections, most notably at airports.

SASE can also be configured for devices (such as certain IoT devices) that need access to data from other remote devices. SASE helps isolate components of your network to contain worst-case security scenarios. Those IoT devices expand the attack footprint for attackers and have to be secured. The IoT is already pushing a lot of computing out to the edge. You can secure the smart factory at the edge as well.

Integrating Across The Enterprise

The scenarios where IoT is a building block of a smart manufacturing enterprise are limited only by imagination. With the right connections, IoT can help manage the supply chain through inventory tracking, warehouse integration and other automated functions. Some factories have even built digital twins of the factory for long-range management and planning. Digital twins require large amounts of compute and storage capability, but they can’t exist in a vacuum. They need the data coming off the machines to be accurate models of the enterprise’s needs. Likewise, sustainability reporting is an increasingly onerous compliance requirement. Once again, IoT can produce the data, but it needs to be integrated with other systems to process and present it properly.

The smart manufacturing enterprise involves the integration of various systems and technologies, such as IIoT, advanced analytics, and flexible manufacturing

systems, to optimize the entire manufacturing value chain. Smart manufacturing allows for real-time decision-making and optimization throughout the entire manufacturing process, leading to increased efficiency, productivity, and agility.

How integrated is your factory? Let’s map your journey to the smart manufacturing enterprise today.

No Programming – New Esab Cobot Simplifies Automated Welding with App-Based Software

Cobot offers intuitive operation, fast deployment, suitability for high-mix and low- to mediumvolume applications and the confidence of an ESAB welding system and a Universal Robots arm.

The ESAB Cobot for MIG and pulsed MIG welding enables intuitive operation so that fabricators of all sizes have the freedom to automate high-mix, low-volume applications and improve productivity with their existing workforce.

ESAB has introduced its first cobot, or collaborative robot, for MIG and pulsed MIG welding applications on steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloys. Unlike the complex programming pendants of other cobots, the ESAB Cobot enables operators to teach welding paths using a software app that runs on a standard smart phone or tablet (Apple iOS or Android) and a “Smart Puck” to hand-guide the torch and record its position with the push of a button. Creating a weld sequence is as simple as creating a song playlist. The ESAB Cobot costs a fraction of a pre-engineered robot cell, does not require a programmer and deploys in a matter of hours.

“The ESAB Cobot gives small- and medium-sized fabricators the freedom to automate high-mix, low-volume

says Olivier Biebuyck, President, Fabrication Technology, ESAB Corporation. “With its intuitive operation, we have revolutionized automated welding while addressing the industry’s foremost issues: improving productivity and finding more workers. Using an ESAB Cobot, fabricators can weld more parts without adding staff, improve quality and free their skilled welders to concentrate on other value-driven tasks.”

The ESAB Cobot features a Universal Robots UR10e industrial robot arm. UR is the automation industry’s leading provider of cobots and has an installed base of more than 50,000 cobots. Welding components include ESAB’s

pulse power source, the RobustFeed U82 wire feeder, an air- or water-cooled torch and accessories.

A Siegmund 32- x 48-in. welding table organizes components and enables moving the cobot around a shop. The entire package ships on a pallet typically within two to three weeks of ordering from a distributor. Set up takes a few hours following step-by-step instructions accessed with a QR code. If a user has the skills to set-up an industrial MIG system, they have the skills start automated welding with the ESAB Cobot.

“The ESAB Cobot is a game-changer because it enables fabricators to enjoy the benefits of automation without any of the historical complexity or costs associated with automation, including competitive cobots,” says Dan Colvin, Vice President of Sales – Automated Systems, ESAB. “The ESAB Cobot deploys rapidly to address immediate needs, such as bidding on new projects, reducing delivery time to existing customers and improving repeatability.”

Powerful App

The cloud-connected ESAB software app offers free and fast in-app support from a team of experts that responds to inquiries in two-minutes or less, as well as access to knowledge articles and extensive list of tutorials. The app automatically stores weld sequences, enabling them to be recalled even if they are deleted from a device. Users can add charts to track production data and consumables use, as well as share part programs between cobots.

The software app’s basic plan is free. A “pro plan” extends chart visibility from seven to 30 days and enables users to export chart data. It also enables additional features, such as requiring a password login and attaching photos and files to a part (such as photos showing part location on the table or a PDF of welding procedures).

Proven Welding Platform

The ESAB Aristo 500ix power source has a maximum welding output of 500A and offers premium MIG and pulsed MIG welding performance and proven reliability in harsh environments. It features stable arc in all transfer modes, including reduced spatter with short circuit MIG, as well as all the benefits associated with pulsed MIG (little to no spatter, reduced heat input to prevent burn through and preserve mechanical properties, all-position welding, and using the next size larger wire diameter).

The RobustFeed wire feeder has a completely sealed wire feed compartment to protect the internal components and the wire against grinding dust, something no other feeder can claim. To further ensure wire integrity, a heater inside the wire feed compartment prevents moisture and reduces the risk of defects related to porosity or hydrogen inclusion, helping to avoid potential rework.

Users control welding functions with the U82 control panel, a core product of ESAB’s industrial line up for nearly two decades. The U82 offers pre-programmed synergic lines, which enable fabricators to begin welding faster and reduce change-over time between parts.
