Pro-Data is a data acquisition technology that enables a Pro-Wedge welder to capture and preserve welder performance and GPS location data for all seaming operations. A library of seam history is automatically captured and retained in the Pro-Data enabled Pro-Wedge. The Pro-Data mobile app allows the technician to monitor Pro-Wedge welder performance in real-time. All seam history is automatically synchronized with the Pro-Data mobile app and presented in a simple combination graph that allows easy evaluation of any recorded seam.
