Flowstate Industrial
Calculator
Built for Fabrication Shops

Know Your Stations Are Performing
Before Quality Slips.

Weld quality, arc-on time, and consumable tracking across every station. Data flowing in 7 days.

One caught weld quality drift saves $2,000-$10,000 in rework.

Fabrication Shop Problems We Solve

Every fab shop owner knows these costs. Flowstate turns quality surprises into data-driven consistency.

Weld Quality Surprises

$2,000-$10,000

Bad welds found in inspection, not during welding. Rework and scrap pile up.

Gas flow, wire feed, and voltage monitoring catches drift mid-shift.

Consumable Waste

$500-$2,000/mo

Wire, gas, and tips consumed faster than expected with no visibility into why.

Consumption tracking per station, per shift, per operator.

Arc-On Time Unknown

20-40% Hidden Idle

Stations sit idle between jobs but there's no data to optimize scheduling.

Real-time arc-on tracking shows true station utilization.

No Station-Level Data

5-15% Hidden Loss

Can't compare station performance or identify training gaps.

Per-station dashboards with shift-to-shift comparison.

How It Works

Step 1

We Install

Edge gateway connects to your welders via Modbus or analog signals. Current clamps on power feeds for station-level monitoring.

Step 2

Data Flows

Arc-on time, gas flow, wire feed, and power consumption stream to your dashboards within 7 days.

Step 3

Drift Caught Early

Parameter alerts flag quality drift mid-shift. Consumable tracking prevents waste. Weekly station performance reports.

All-Inclusive Station Monitoring

Hardware + installation + platform + support. One per-machine price.

90-Day ROI Guarantee

The Fabrication Visibility Package

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
