SORPAS® Digital Optimizations of Spot Welding honored as Gold Winner of the IF Digital Award 2025, powered by SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN and IndustryFusion Foundation, at Essen Welding Show 2025.
SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN 2025, 15-19 September 2025, Messe Essen, Germany
For the 6th time, SWANTEC once again participated as an exhibitor in the world’s largest quadrennial welding fair, SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN, the Essen Welding Show 2025, at Messe Essen in Germany.
We showcased the cutting-edge innovations and industrial applications of SORPAS®:
- Simulations of resistance welding and mechanical joining.
- Powerful digital optimizations of spot welding.
- Real-world case studies and hands-on exercises.
Dr. Wenqi ZHANG, CEO of SWANTEC, also presented at the Future Hub:
“Transforming Spot Welding from Planning to Production with Simulation, Optimization and Digital Twins”.
Building on the widespread industrial adoption of SORPAS® welding simulations and our commitment to digital transformation of the welding production toward Smart Factory, we are continuously advancing the integration of digital optimizations into spot welding production:
- For planning new production lines: Saving up to 80% time and costs through digital optimizations before launching serial production.
- For optimizing existing production lines: Elevating production stability and quality consistency through digital optimizations to eliminate defects like spatter/expulsions and bad welds, thereby achieving robust production of high-quality welded joints.

We sincerely thank the many visitors from around the world who met us during the Essen Welding Show 2025.
This year, we welcomed a record-breaking number of people to our booth. It was a pleasure to see long-time customers and partners, some of whom have supported us for more than 20 years, as well as to meet many new friends and potential collaborators.
Your interest and support mean everything to us and continue to drive us forward.
