Abstract
The integration of FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding) welding machine with IOT (Internet of Things) uses several components including ESP32-32S as a microcontroller, voltage sensor (voltage), HSTS023R current sensor (amperes), speed sensor Infrared Optocoupler LM393 (travel speed), MySQL database management system (database management system), ThingSpeak website application media and Blynk software application to monitor welding data variables via the internet in real time (real time). The testing result of the 600 data shows that the tool can read and wirelessly transfer the welding parameter values (voltage, current, welding wire speed and heat input) properly through ThingSpeak, Blynk media and stored data via MySQL database storage media. These data can be evaluated by interested parties such as welding department, quality department and management representative and then they can assess and conclude the welding quality acceptance based on those data analysis. Based on the WPS (welding procedure specification) used, the Heat Input acceptance is 0.2 KJ/mm – 1.2 KJ/mm. It was found that the 21 welding data were not acceptable and corrective action shall be made by interested parties.
