Its solutions are scalable, highly secure and robust that helps improve machine utilization, efficiency, operator productivity, and safety. The platform employs the latest in converging technologies like Mobility, Cloud, AI/ML, Data Science, and Sensors.
Genesis towards Industry 4.0
LivNSense commenced its journey in 2018 in the most conventional manufacturing process – welding. The welding industry has experienced a tectonic shift in technology trends from analog-based power sources to an inverter to digital technology to intelligent equipment and now moving towards Industry 4.0 or Weld 4.0. The company has leveraged IoT technology to make the welding process more intuitive and highly reliable with improved productivity, efficiency, and stabilization of processes.
LivNSense has launched a smart welding management solution, called WELDSENSE™, to target productivity, efficiency, and quality for one of the most convenient equipment in the Industries – Weld Equipment. WELDSENSE™ is aimed at helping the industries move from an ‘automation centric production’ to a ‘knowledge-centric production’. WELDSENSE ™ creates value through machine learning insights – insight into WPS compliant welding quality, production/efficiency, personnel qualifications, consumables, and much more. A balanced combination of hardware, software and platform for a sensor to outcome journey (led by iSense4i™ – a cloud-agnostic Industrial IoT Platform with on-premises, hybrid and cloud deployment options).
