Data collection and data analytics have become the new norm in most industries. Collecting and utilizing data can improve efficiency, ensure quality control, and increase overall productivity. Although the tube and pipe industry has undergone significant evolution and development from its initial manual processes phase, it has yet to fully embrace data-driven HF welding operations.
This article covers the aspects of data-driven HF welding operations: setup, process control, condition-based monitoring, and preventive maintenance and troubleshooting. The article discusses the importance of data collection during high frequency welding and how it can be related to the quality of the final product. It also explores how the use of data can reduce human error and increase overall product yield. Additionally, this paper offers suggestions for incorporating IIoT-enabled equipment and preparing for upcoming advances in automation.
