How nexAir Helps Businesses Forge Forward by Combining Tools, Gas, and Automation Technology

In modern manufacturing, gases, tools, and automation can no longer be treated as separate entities, each working in their respective corners. To succeed in today’s cutthroat landscape, businesses need to ensure everything works together. 

When combined, tools, gas, and automation can transform factory floors — boosting efficiency, quality, safety, and even sustainability. This message is at the core of what nexAir stands for. In this guide, learn how our decades of KnowHow is helping businesses succeed with more integrated solutions.

Automation and Gas Management

One of the big ways nexAir helps is by automating gas supply and monitoring. Instead of waiting until cylinders run low or manually checking gauges, our automated systems monitor gas levels in real time, predict usage patterns, and trigger resupply before disruptions happen. This kind of predictive or usage‑based system reduces downtime, saves labor, and keeps operations more consistent.

Our gas‑management systems also include safety and quality controls: monitoring purity, flow, and pressure, so that gases delivered are always suitable for the job. Any issue like a leak or drop in quality is caught early. That helps avoid weld defects or worse, safety hazards.

Precision Tools and Welding Automation

The best welder is only as good as their tool — this is the motto we live to live by, especially for critical industries that rely on consistency. 

In this sense, using automated tools means deploying robotic systems and sensors that keep track of several parameters — from wire feed rates to arc stability. When all of this is held steady by a machine, the result is better weld quality, fewer errors, less rework.

This level of integration also helps synchronize and coordinate workflows. When facilities have access to detailed data about the material, positioning of parts, or safe handling practices, quality is a given. Plus, rather than wait for one step to finish manually, which introduces delays and variability, you can rely on automated cells to keep things flowing all through the day, night — and weekends. 

Tailored Gas Mixtures and Equipment 

Beyond just supplying standard gases, nexAir offers specialized gas mixtures and delivery systems that match the tool and process being used. Whether a welding cell demands certain purity, or a laser/robotic welding setup needs specific shielding gas blends, nexAir can provide what’s needed. Our team of chemists is always ready with the right blend to ensure welds are clean and defects are minimized. nexAir+1

Equally important is the hardware. On the nexAir NOW store, you’ll find a wide range of welding tools and accessories — from bigger items like collaborative robots to small tools like pressure regulators. 

The Bottom Line: More Safety, Sustainability, and Uptime

At the end of the day, combining the right tools with the right gas and automation system can be a gamechanger for your facility. Automated systems catch leaks, and conduct quality checks without requiring breaks; gas mixtures notify you when they’re running low, and tools ensure you’re never left lacking when working with a different material. The result? More safety, more sustainability, and increased uptime.

For over 80 years, nexAir has helped industries across the Southeast understand the problem and reap these benefits. Learn how we can Forge Forward together by visiting the nexAir NOW platform.
