FACE TO FACE enough to do this, and we see this as another potential area of growth,” Cauchi explained.
A holistic view
“ The industry is currently undergoing profound change. Welding technology is becoming increasingly intelligent through automated processes, digital networking and the integration of AI. This is no longer just about robotics, but about the systemic development of the entire process,” outlined Thomas Häusle.
Both men see the drive towards sustainability as a key differentiator.
“ Sustainability is becoming increasingly important. We are embedding this into our overall solutions, becoming more energyefficient and using resources in a more responsible way. We also practice sustainability in our operations; we are ISO-certified for manufacturing sites and in our branches. We continuously strive to identify more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing methods in production using the most up to date components. We have also embedded sustainability into our product design e. g. our Tetrix XQ 300 SiC,” said Thomas Häusle.
Energy efficiency and emission reduction, especially for welding fumes, are key factors in modern welding technology. They not only influence the environmental balance, but

economic efficiency and occupational safety. With its BlueEvolution ® sustainability initiative, EWM has combined ecological responsibility with technical performance.
“ EWM takes a holistic approach here. Our modern inverter power sources are particularly energy-efficient and significantly reduce power consumption compared to conventional devices— without compromising welding quality or process stability. This is complemented by sophisticated cooling systems that minimise heat loss and extend the service life of the devices,” explained Häusle.
“ But sustainable technology does not end with the device: it begins with the
right process selection, continues with intelligent control and is expressed in the digital networking of the entire welding infrastructure. Systems such as ewm Xnet create transparency regarding consumption and enable targeted optimisation. Integrated welding fume extraction systems are also part of our standard equipment, because sustainable welding always means health protection,” he continued.
Artficial intelligence( AI) was also a key topic for both men. AI, said Häusle, is intended to make work easier, not replace it. EWM’ s goal remains to achieve the highest quality efficiently and safely for every material and every application, both men told ISMR.
“ We use AI in our daily business practices and processes. Our teams are using AI tools to work more efficiently. We are just starting, in a meaningful way, to implement artificial intelligence in our products. But it must be meaningful. We are very careful to have data protection in place too. Basically, we are following two routes: AI for daily business where our teams use different AI tools to make them more efficient, and our employees are also encouraged to explore the use of new AI tools, as we start to introduce AI into our products step by step,” concluded Thomas Häusle. n
