Miller

Miller® is about building things that matter. We lead the welding industry in building advanced, solution-focused products and meeting crucial needs for welding safety and health.

We’re about the partnership and the work. Our products are designed with our users for manufacturing, fabrication, construction, aviation, motorsports, education, agriculture and marine applications.

Miller Electric Mfg. Co., is headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, and wholly owned by Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW). The company maintains its industry leadership by setting the standard for reliability, quality and responsiveness. Our tagline, “The Power of Blue®,” is inspired by the blue color of Miller equipment.

This company began with an innovation that responded to customer needs, growing from a one-man operation in 1929, to the world’s largest manufacturer of arc welding products. Miller keeps the tradition alive by focusing on its top priority: people.

Employees The Power of the People
Miller is organized into product-focused business units, focused on a philosophy of continuous improvement. As a result, no other welding company matches Miller’s responsiveness when it comes to fast delivery, product quality or after-sale support.

Miller people “bleed blue” with their dedication, and it shows through their community involvement. They annually donate thousands of personal hours for community improvement projects, and the company also gives them paid time off for these efforts as well.

The management team recognizes that the real Power of Blue isn’t in the products. It’s the power of Miller people, working together with customers and distributor partners, to build a bigger, better, brighter world.

Products

AugmentedArc - Augmented Reality Welding System

The AugmentedArc system improves the efficiency and economy of classroom education with "augmented reality" technology. Users wear a specially designed helmet that shows them images of the real world, augmented with computer-generated images of metal workpieces, weld arcs and weld beads. The result is a simulation that closely resembles live-arc welding — without using an actual arc or consuming wire, shielding gas or coupons.

The system provides an engaging and immersive student experience and allows instructors to make more effective use of their time. Users of any skill level can start working with the system almost immediately. AugmentedArc offers intuitive, easy-to-understand setup assistance and objective, post-weld feedback to help users quickly gain experience and develop proper welding techniques in SMAW, GMAW, FCAW and GTAW processes.

LiveArc - Welding Performance Management System

A reality-based recruiting, screening and training solution.

The Miller® LiveArc™ welding performance management system is a new and innovative reality-based training system that utilizes a live welding arc, unlike other virtual training solutions. It’s designed to recruit, screen, train, re-qualify and manage the performance of weld operators—better, faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods.

Advanced motion-tracking technology provides the critical feedback required for improvement of baseline welding skills. With an easy-to-use touch screen interface, users can guide themselves through assignment selection and pre-weld feedback to acquire desired techniques before moving to actual live arc training experiences.

The system also gives welding instructors the ability to configure assignments and technique parameters. It stores the detailed performance history of each operator. LiveArc is a powerful teaching tool that allows instructors to better manage their time, reduces the cost of teaching materials and accelerates student progress.
