Using Production Monitoring™
Welcome to Production Monitoring™. Production Monitoring™ is an internal web-based application that
the administrator configured to connect to the Welding Power Sources in your company. You can generate
a number of reports on the welding data collected.
Launching Production Monitoring™
To open the Production Monitoring™ application, you simply visit a web site address. Your Production
Monitoring™ administrator most likely sent you an e-mail containing the link to the application. Open that
e-mail and click the link. (If the link doesn’t work, copy and paste the address into the address bar of your
browser.)
TIP | To make it easy to launch Production Monitoring™, create a
shortcut on your computer Desktop or a bookmark in your
Internet browser.
Overview of the Application
The Production Monitoring™ application has several active areas where you can click the mouse. This
section explains how to use each one in detail.
ƒ On the left is the Asset Tree (page 5.2) where you select the individual Welding Power Source or
the Group of power sources on which you want to report.
ƒ Across the top of the right side are the Report Tabs (page 5.2). Each tab contains several
individual reports or graphs.
ƒ Directly below each Report Tab are the Individual Reports (page 5.3).
ƒ To the right of the Asset Tree and under the Reports are the Panel Resize bars (page 5.3).
ƒ Most reports allow you to filter the data by certain Report Criteria. This criteria appears under
the Individual Reports. The way you select criteria is the same for each report (page 5.4).
However, each report contains different criteria.
