Kemppi releases
ARC System 3
THE Kemppi ARC System 3 is a new
modular software solution for improved
welding management. The tailored
toolbox enables the customer to choose
modules for developing any part of the
production process – quality, project
management or productivity. Kemppi
ARC System 3 is part of Kemppi’s new
TWXM solution concept. The offering has
recently been completed with WeldEye®,
welding quality and documentation
software by Norwegian Weldindustry AS,
acquired by Kemppi in December 2013.
The acquisition is an important step
in Kemppi’s strategy for the future.
Weldindustry is one of the pioneers in
the development of welding management
software and its WeldEye solution is a
leading industry brand. The Norwegian
market has a strong focus on the offshore
industry, which has provided an excellent
platform for developing high-tech solutions
for welding quality management.
“We are delighted to announce the
launch of the new Kemppi ARC System
3 and the acquisition of WeldindustryAS.
Kemppi has been impressed by the
accomplishments of the Weldindustry
team and the Weldeye solution, being
the most advanced of its kind. Kemppi
ARC System 3, on the other hand, is the
most advanced solution for combining
equipment technology and online data
for welding management. With these two
state-of-the-art solutions, we are looking
forward to an exciting future together for
the benefit of our customers,” said Anssi
Rantasalo, CEO of Kemppi.
“It is exciting that my company
has found a new home in one of the
globally leading groups of the welding
industry,” said Tore Haukanes, founder of
Weldindustry AS.
