AI Weld inspection

move beyond manual checks

Smarter weld inspection with AI: Move beyond manual checks. AWL’s AI weld inspection solution delivers faster, more consistent, and fully traceable results and always tailored to your production process.

Manual weld inspection is reaching its limits

In automotive and metal-processing industries, quality control still relies heavily on human operators. But with fewer skilled inspectors available, manual checks are:

Time-consuming and error-prone
Hard to scale in growing production environments
Difficult to track in ERP or MES systems

Meanwhile, customers demand consistent quality and complete traceability. The question is: how do you achieve both?

AI weld inspection — the smart alternative

AWL’s solution bridges the gap between manual inspection and expensive 3D systems. Using 2D camera technology combined with AI software, you can:

Verify weld presence, position, and dimensions
Detect defects such as burn-throughs, pores, discontinuities, spatters, spatter-free zones, cracks, or craters.
Add functions like weld barcode reading

“The strength lies in the combination of simplicity, flexibility, and intelligence. It’s easy to integrate into existing production lines, adapts quickly to different products, and applies smart algorithms to deliver reliable inspection results.”

Wilbert van de Ridder – Innovation leader AWL
