Abstract: Modern challenges in industrial production require the integration of energy-efficient solutions without compromising the quality of technological processes. This article discusses the application of adaptive control schemes for energy optimization in arc welding. Methods for dynamic regulation of welding arc parameters in real time, including current, voltage, and frequency, using intelligent control algorithms, are analyzed. Feedback models and self-tuning systems are presented, which allow minimizing energy losses, stabilizing the process, and extending the service life of the equipment. Simulation results and experimental data demonstrate that adaptive schemes significantly improve the efficiency, especially under variable production conditions. The study highlights the potential of this approach for integration within Industry 4.0 and sustainable production development.
