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.
