Logout on Disconnect Feature in the WeldCloud Link App: Enhanced Welding Traceability

The Logout on Disconnect option in the WeldCloud Link app offers users full control over welding traceability, ensuring flexibility and accountability in managing operator details. This feature empowers WeldCloud users to decide whether welder or welding operator information should remain stored when the WeldCloud Link app disconnects from WeldCloud-enabled welding equipment.

Understanding Bluetooth Disconnections

Bluetooth connections between the WeldCloud Link app and a WeldCloud-enabled system may be interrupted for various reasons. Below are common scenarios where such disconnections occur:

• Sleep Mode Activation: The WeldCloud Universal Connector enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity.
• Out of Bluetooth Range: The Android device running the WeldCloud Link app moves beyond the Bluetooth communication range.
• Manual Disconnection: A user intentionally disconnects the WeldCloud Link app from the equipment.

Impact of the Logout on Disconnect Setting

When the Logout on Disconnect option is disabled in the WeldCloud Link settings, the login details of the welder or welding operator are retained even if Bluetooth connectivity is lost. This ensures that the Operator ID remains tagged to weld sessions, maintaining consistent traceability, which is critical for quality assurance and compliance.

Why This Matters

By keeping operator details linked to the weld sessions despite disconnections, this feature enhances traceability, supports accurate data collection, and aligns with industry best practices for welding documentation. Whether due to environmental factors or operational needs, this flexible functionality ensures that welding projects remain reliable and traceable.

Please have a look at following guide for more details.

1. Access WeldCloud Link app settings clicking on hamburger menu icon

2. Click Settings

3. Default: Logout on disconnect is ON

4. Go back to WeldCloud Link main screen

5. Click Connect and select WeldCloud enabled device you want to connect to

6. Click BEGIN SCANNING and login with your operator ID

7. WeldCloud Link identifies you as an operator and will start to tag your operator details to welding sessions performed on the machine you are connected to

8. Let's see what happens when you disconnect WeldCloud Link from the WeldCloud enabled equipment

9. Since Logout on disconnect setting is on, operator will be logged out from the welding unit and following welding sessions performed on that welding equipment will not be tagged with operator details

10. If you want operator to be tagged even when WeldCloud Link is disconnected from WeldCloud enabled equipment, set Logout on disconnect to OFF in WeldCloud Link settings

11. This way, when a manual or an automatic disconnection happens, operator will continue to be tagged on following welding sessions performed on the welding equipment

12. This is also reflected in WeldCloud Link not showing operator logout message as before
