Power Wave® Connectivity Hubs

Simple Connectivity. Powerful Insights. Flexible Integration.

The Power Wave® Connectivity Hub provides a simple, secure, and scalable way to connect Power Wave® welding systems to your plant network. Designed for modern manufacturing environments, the Connectivity Hub gives organizations the flexibility to deploy wired or wireless connectivity while supporting access to valuable welding data and connected production technologies.

Whether connecting a single power source or an entire fleet of welding systems, the Connectivity Hub helps manufacturers centralize machine connectivity, streamline network integration, and expand visibility across welding operations. Support for both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity allows facilities to choose the deployment approach that best aligns with their network infrastructure and production environment.

The modular architecture enables fast installation with minimal disruption to production, allowing existing Power Wave® systems to be connected quickly and efficiently. As wireless technologies evolve, users can simply update compatible USB Wi-Fi adapters to take advantage of new networking capabilities without replacing the entire connectivity solution.

For advanced data-driven manufacturing initiatives, the Connectivity Hub provides access to raw welding data through a standard MQTT protocol connection, helping manufacturers integrate welding information into enterprise systems, analytics platforms, dashboards, and Industry 4.0 applications.

From shop-floor connectivity to enterprise-level data integration, the Power Wave® Connectivity Hub provides the flexibility and scalability needed to support today's connected welding operations.
