Kemppi, the world's leading manufacturer of arc welding equipment and related products, leads the way in the development of application software for online welding quality and productivity management. The company once again has taken again a bold step by offering universal solutions compatible with all welding equipment brands.

The unique Kemppi total welding management concept, TWXM, allows welding quality, safety and productivity management according to customer specific needs. An essential part of TWXM is Kemppi ARC System 3, the modular software toolbox for management of all welding process data with one total solution, including for example online welding parameter control, fleet and welder qualification management, welding procedure specification management and production flow control. The system can be installed in arc welding machines of any make or brand. Access to all relevant welding data, now available online anywhere in the world, is a real revolution resulting in better decision making and remarkable improvements in quality and productivity.

"We do not believe in forcing our customers to behave in a certain way. Kemppi has always promoted open standards and freedom of choice," says Anssi Rantasalo, CEO of Kemppi.

Kemppi offers wide portfolio of universal solutions - available anywhere in the world for any industry or welding method, enabling top welding production performance, cost competitiveness and reduction in lead time.
