How It Works - Arc Monitor Pro

Mount the Sensor

The Arc Monitor Pro sensor mounts near your welder and detects arc activity non-invasively — no modifications to the welding machine, no cutting wires, no voiding warranties.

Works with any arc welder — MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-Core. If it strikes an arc, Arc Monitor Pro can monitor it.

No electrician required

Connect to WiFi

The sensor connects to your existing shop WiFi network and immediately begins transmitting weld activity data securely to the Arc Monitor Pro cloud platform.

The device syncs its clock automatically, handles brief network outages gracefully, and backfills any missed data when connectivity is restored.

Monitor, Report, and Improve

From the moment your device comes online, Arc Monitor Pro is collecting data. View live activity, generate reports by day, week, or month, and set up alerts so you're notified when something needs attention.

Connect your weld data to Power BI, Excel, or any other tool via the built-in REST API. Shift-based reports classify every record automatically — no manual tracking needed.

Compatibility

Works on Any Arc Welder

If it uses an electric arc to weld, we can monitor it.

MIG / GMAW

Gas Metal Arc Welding — the most common process in production environments.

TIG / GTAW

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding — precision work, still fully monitored.

Stick / SMAW

Shielded Metal Arc Welding — works indoors, outdoors, any environment.

Flux-Core / FCAW

Flux-Cored Arc Welding — high deposition, heavy fabrication, fully supported.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to modify my welding machine?

No. The sensor is completely non-invasive. It mounts near the welder and detects arc activity without any connection to the machine's electrical system.

What WiFi does it need?

Standard 2.4GHz WiFi. The sensor works with virtually any business or industrial WiFi network with no special configuration required.

What happens if the WiFi goes down?

The sensor stores data locally and automatically backfills any missed records when the connection is restored. No data is lost during brief outages.

How many welders can I monitor?

There's no limit. Monitor one welder or hundreds across multiple facilities — all from the same account and dashboard.

Can multiple people access the account?

Yes. Invite your entire team. Administrators manage everything, while standard users have read-only access to reports and dashboards.

Can I connect my data to other tools?

Yes. Arc Monitor Pro includes a full REST API. Connect directly to Power BI, Excel, Tableau, or any custom application with timezone-aware responses.
