Being the world’s first IoT soldering station, the Ersa i-CON TRACE revolutionizes the high-end soldering station market. With i-CON TRACE, Ersa relies on smart operation via both smartphone app and web application that can be installed on a customer server. If the i-CON TRACE is to be operated like a conventional soldering station, the smartphone/tablet replaces the built-in display and the temperature is shown on a smartphone or tablet, as are familiar controls for temperature setting, etc.. For users, this opens up the possibility of smart operation in line with their needs. Using the web application "Ersa TRACE Cockpit" and the associated extensive traceability functions, a soldering station can be integrated into a WLAN network with the help of the smartphone app and then controlled via the web application. FEATURES: β€’ Real-time temperature display via graphical user interface β€’ Setting the target temperature, for one or several soldering stations β€’ Setting of all other soldering parameters, also for multiple soldering stations β€’ Menu navigation in different languages
