Smart Current Monitoring for Welding Machines
At Inurum Technologies, we developed a smart current detection sensor system for industrial welding machines. The system monitors welding current in real time without modifying existing machine wiring.
The client needed a reliable system to detect and record current flow during welding operations. Traditional manual inspection was insufficient to verify every welding pulse, and there was no centralized way to collect current data from machines across the factory floor.
We designed a non-invasive solution using a split-core Hall Effect sensor installed around the welding output cable. The sensor captures current data during every welding cycle — the hardware processes it and transmits wirelessly to the server for monitoring, reporting, and analysis.
No Visibility Into Welding Performance
Industrial welding machines require accurate current monitoring to ensure consistent weld quality. Without real-time data, quality issues go undetected until inspection — by which point rework costs are already high.

ISSUE_07
Existing machine wiring could not be modified for safety reasons
Non-Invasive. Wireless. Always On.
We built a current detection sensor system that installs without cutting or changing machine wiring. The split-core Hall Effect sensor clamps around the welding output cable and detects current inductively — no electrical contact required.
The acquisition hardware captures the sensor signal and calculates key parameters for every welding pulse: peak current, average current, pulse duration, residual current, and current variation.
All data is transmitted to the server using Wi-Fi in JSON format via HTTP POST. If connectivity is unavailable, data is stored locally and automatically uploaded when the connection is restored.
What the System Delivers
Core capabilities of the IoT current detection sensor — from non-invasive installation to real-time cloud data transmission.
From Cable to Cloud
7 automated steps — no operator input required during production.
