The DATA LEAP™ modules
Unlike systems designed with a fixed structure, DATA LEAP™ is made up of clearly-defined modules.
These can be combined to the customer’s specifications, depending on how production is organised. These self-contained
functional modules open up the data world behind machines and processes, enabling you to produce more quickly.
In the process, the module acts as a window on your production system. The following aspects can be viewed in the modules, either in real time or as a summary:
• control,
• tracking,
• recording,
• reporting.
Our modules:
DATA LEAP™ DDE/OPC Client
(Data collection)
Fully-automated database-supported acquisition of all production-related data from ESAB machines (log file, XML, CSV file).
DATA LEAP™ DataAccess
(Third-party machine connection)
Visualisation of production data from third-party machine connections and feedback of product-related data for working process optimisation, integrated operator interface on all machines/workstations, job-related product information displayed directly on the unit.
DATA LEAP™ Customer
Requirements Specification
DATA LEAP™ Database
All of the data required for the specific production process from work planning and production are provided in a structured form in an open database (job shop, steel construction, shipbuilding).
DATA LEAP™ Nesting Interface
(Nesting system connection)
Interface for manufacturer-independent connection of DATA LEAP™ to COLUMBUS™ and other nesting systems.
DATA LEAP™ ERP Interface
(Planning system connection)
Connection to customers’ ERP systems. Allows bi-directional data exchange, for example with the Jobs, Parts or Materials elements.
DATA LEAP™ WorkshopView
(Visualisation of operating processes)
Automatically updated visualisation of all machines/workstations connected to DATA LEAP™ with detailed display including process data, operating conditions and job/production schedules.
DATA LEAP™ Statistics
(Statistical evaluation)
Standardised software for the evaluation-aiding display and statistical analysis of the customer-specific production database as a foundation for quality optimisation in reporting.
DATA LEAP™ EventControl
(Malfunction database)
The malfunction database is where all the non job-related standing times and downtimes of the connected workstations are recorded and prepared for the reporting system.
DATA LEAP™ Maintenance
The collection of wear and consumption data and the documentation of maintenance measures make it possible to plan for maintenance management.
DATA LEAP™ JobCycle
(Detailed job planning)
Flexible tool for sequencing in production and automatic execution control on ESAB machines prepared for the purpose.
DATA LEAP™AutoControl
(Production automation)
Modern control station technology for the optimised, synchronous production process with direct implementation of all planning data and integration of different controls, machines and peripheral units into a continuous production chain.
