Systems and methods for configuring a cutting or welding delivery device
First Claim
1. A system for configuring a delivery device of a cutting or welding apparatus, the system comprising:
- a determination module for determining at least one desired component of the delivery device or a value for at least one operating parameter of the cutting or welding apparatus;
a mobile computing device comprising;
a receiver for receiving information from the determination module including at least one of i) identification of the desired component or ii) the value of the operating parameter and (iii) a desired operation of the cutting or welding apparatus;
a reader for reading an element associated with a selected component, wherein the element provides indicia of at least one characteristic of the selected component; and
a processor for approving the selected component for assembly into the delivery device if the indicia matches the identification of the desired component or satisfies the value for the at least one operating parameter,wherein the mobile device is configured to present a percentage usage remaining for the selected component normalized with respect to the desired operation.

Abstract
A system is provided for configuring a delivery device of a cutting or welding apparatus. The system includes a determination module and a mobile computing device. The determination module is configured to determine at least one desired component of the delivery device or a value for at least one operating parameter of the cutting or welding apparatus. The mobile computing device includes a receiver, a reader and a processor. The receiver is configured to receive information from the determination module including at least one of i) identification of the desired component or ii) the value of the operating parameter. The reader is configured to read an element associated with a selected component, where the element provides indicia of at least one characteristic of the selected component. The processor is configure to approve the selected component for assembly into the delivery device.

8. A computer-implemented method for configuring a cutting or welding system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a portable device, at least one of i) identification of at least one desired component for a delivery device of the cutting or welding system or ii) at least one operation requirement of the cutting or welding system, and (iii) a desired operation of the cutting or welding system; reading, by the portable device, a tag associated with a selected component, wherein the tag provides indicia of at least one characteristic of the selected component; verifying, by the portable device, the suitability of the selected component for assembly into the delivery device by determining if the indicia matches the identification of the desired component or meets the operation requirement; and presenting, by the portable device, a percentage usage remaining for the selected component normalized with respect to the desired operation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer readable product, tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium or a machine-readable storage device and operable on a digital signal processor for a system to configure a delivery device of a cutting or welding apparatus, the computer readable product including instructions operable to cause the digital signal processor to:
-
receive, by the non-transitory computer readable medium or the machine-readable storage device, at least one of i) identification of at least one desired component for assembly into the delivery device or ii) at least one operation requirement of the cutting or welding apparatus, and (iii) a desired operation of the cutting or welding system; scan, by the non-transitory computer readable medium or the machine-readable storage device, a tag associated with a selected component, wherein the tag provides indicia of at least one characteristic of the selected component; verify, by the non-transitory computer readable medium or the machine-readable storage device, the suitability of the selected component for assembly into the delivery device based on comparing the indicia with at least one of the identification of the desired component or the operation requirement; and present, by the non-transitory computer readable medium or machine-readable storage device, a percentage usage remaining for the selected component normalized with respect to the desired operation. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)

25. A computer-implemented method for configuring a cutting or welding device, the method comprising:
-
providing a component for the cutting or welding device, the component having a tag attached thereto that is readable and writable; scanning, by a portable device, the tag to read data stored on the tag; determining, based on the data stored on the tag, life expectancy information of the component; confirming, based on the life expectancy information, that the component has sufficient usable life remaining to complete a desired operation of the cutting or welding device; and presenting, by the portable device, a percentage usage remaining for the component, wherein the percentage usage is normalized with respect to the desired operation. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
