The DataLeap™ Modules
Unlike systems designed with a fixed structure, DataLeap™ is made up of clearly-defined modules.
These can be combined to the customer’s specifications, depending on how production is organized. 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.
DataLeap Modules:
DataLeap™ DDE/OPC Client
(Data collection)
Fully-automated database-supported acquisition of all production-related data from ESAB machines (log file, XML, CSV file).
DataLeap™ DataAccess
(Third-party machine connection)
Visualization of production data from third-party machine connections and feedback of product-related data for working process optimization, integrated operator interface on all machines/workstations, job-related product information displayed directly on the unit.
DataLeap™ Customer
Requirements Specification
DataLeap™ 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).
DataLeap™ Nesting Interface
(Nesting system connection)
Interface for manufacturer-independent connection of DATA LEAP™ to COLUMBUS™ and other nesting systems.
DataLeap™ ERP Interface
(Planning system connection)
Connection to customers’ ERP systems. Allows bi-directional data exchange, for example with the Jobs, Parts or Materials elements.
DataLeap™ WorkshopView
(Visualization of operating processes)
Automatically updated visualization of all machines/workstations connected to DataLeap™ with detailed display including process data, operating conditions and job/production schedules.
DataLeap™ Statistics
(Statistical Evaluation)
Standardized software for the evaluation-aiding display and statistical analysis of the customer-specific production database as a foundation for quality optimization in reporting.
DataLeap™ EventControl
(Malfunction Database)
The malfunction database is where all the non job-related standing times and down times of the connected workstations are recorded and prepared for the reporting system.
DataLeap™ Maintenance
The collection of wear and consumption data and the documentation of maintenance measures make it possible to plan for maintenance management.
DataLeap™ JobCycle
(Detailed job planning)
Flexible tool for sequencing in production and automatic execution control on ESAB machines prepared for the purpose.
DataLeap™AutoControl
(Production Automation)
Modern control station technology for the optimized, synchronous production process with direct implementation of all planning data and integration of different controls, machines and peripheral units into a continuous production chain.
