TARDIS Ignis MP200 Achieves Over 1,000 Sales—Tardis Unveils the “Welding Data Acquisition and Monitoring Control System”

Tardis, a company dedicated to machine sensing and automation, continues to redefine precision, efficiency, intelligence, and flexibility in industrial measurement and control. In May 2024, the company introduced the groundbreaking TARDIS IGNIS MP200 molten pool camera. With its exceptional performance and remarkably competitive pricing, the device quickly gained widespread market recognition, surpassing 1,000 units in sales within just six months and securing a leading position in the industry.

On March 5, 2025, Panda3dp.com reported that Tardis has launched a new industrial intelligent control system—the WLSCADA Welding Data Acquisition and Monitoring Control System. Designed to enhance efficiency and precision in welding process monitoring and data analysis, this innovation empowers industrial manufacturers in their journey toward intelligent automation.

Addressing Challenges in Welding Under Industry 4.0, as a cornerstone of manufacturing, welding faces dual challenges of efficiency and quality. Traditional welding relies heavily on manual parameter adjustments based on operator experience—fluctuations in current, voltage, and welding speed can lead to inconsistencies, making it difficult to ensure uniform welding quality.

Introducing WLSCADA: An Open, High-Speed, and Cost-Effective Solution. The WLSCADA Welding Data Acquisition and Monitoring Control System is an open, high-speed, cost-efficient, and user-friendly solution. Integrating high-speed data acquisition, real-time monitoring, and data transmission, it enables precise observation of the welding process. Additionally, an optional gas-saving module allows automatic reverse control of gas flow based on welding current parameters, reducing gas consumption. This system is widely applicable to welding-related industrial production and intelligent manufacturing.

Utilizing advanced sensors and signal processing technology, WLSCADA rapidly collects key welding parameters such as current, voltage, wire feed speed, and gas flow in real-time, converting them into electrical signals for transmission. The system features an intuitive visual interface that enables users to monitor real-time fluctuations, gain immediate insights into welding conditions, and optimize operational control. Furthermore, the collected data can be seamlessly integrated into third-party software for data analysis, intelligent control, and AI model development.

Key Features of WLSCADA

Real-Time High-Speed Data Acquisition and Monitoring

Supporting an acquisition frequency of up to 25kHz, WLSCADA captures critical parameters such as current, voltage, wire feed speed, and gas flow in real-time. Users can intuitively track dynamic data changes through the built-in visualization interface, allowing for early detection of potential defects caused by parameter deviations. This ensures intelligent equipment management and quality control in the production process.

Data Storage and Export Capabilities

WLSCADA stores historical data and supports both import and export functions, enabling real-time data retrieval. This feature facilitates precise analysis of data trends, allowing users to optimize welding processes, fine-tune parameter settings, and enhance production efficiency and welding quality.

Real-Time Data Interface for Seamless Integration and Precision Control

The system offers a highly efficient real-time data interface, supporting HTTP API and WebSocket protocols to ensure instant data updates and accuracy. Whether retrieving data from external systems or actively pushing data, WLSCADA provides flexible integration options. Users can monitor current, voltage, wire feed speed, and gas flow in real-time, while also setting predefined intervals to obtain averaged parameter values over specific time periods. The system seamlessly integrates with third-party web and mobile applications, offering a user-friendly and highly adaptable solution.

Advanced Data Visualization for Cross-Platform Real-Time Monitoring

Equipped with a powerful data visualization dashboard, WLSCADA allows users to view key welding parameters—including dynamic waveforms of current, voltage, wire feed speed, and gas flow—directly through a browser. The system supports customizable time-averaging for more detailed data analysis. Designed for cross-platform compatibility, it ensures a seamless user experience on both PCs and tablets, providing clear, intuitive, and fast-response data monitoring.

Reverse Gas Flow Control for Cost Savings (Optional Feature)

Traditional welding equipment maintains a fixed gas flow rate, typically set at the highest level required for all welding processes. The optional reverse gas flow control module in WLSCADA dynamically adjusts gas flow based on real-time welding current values, ensuring optimal gas usage while significantly reducing operational costs.
