AI-enabled robots for quality inspection.

We build robotic cells that use AI to catch defects and quality-standard violations in the parts coming off your line — no manual inspection, and ROI from day one.

They read the part surface and deep below it — the subsurface cracks and porosity a camera can't see — and trace recurring defects back to the machine making them.

See inside the part

The costliest defects sit beneath the surface.

A camera reads the surface well, and we run one. But the crack or lack of fusion sitting a couple of millimetres down — the kind that comes back as a field failure or a warranty claim — never reaches it. So on the same arm we pair the camera with phased-array ultrasound, then add thermal and eddy current, reading the surface and everything under it — and fold it all into one accept-or-reject call.

  1. Surfacefusing

    Camera (vision)

    High-resolution imaging for surface-breaking cracks, geometry, and undercut. You need it — but on its own it only ever sees the outside.

  2. Surface / just belowon roadmap

    Eddy current

    Picks up surface and just-below-surface cracks in metal parts — a fourth read that confirms or overrules the others.

  3. Near-surfaceon roadmap

    Thermography

    Heat response reveals near-surface flaws and weak bonds — the layer that sits just under what the camera can see.

  4. Subsurfacelive

    Ultrasonic (PAUT)

    Phased-array ultrasound sees inside the weld — cracks, lack of fusion, and porosity below the surface that no camera can reach. This is the one running today.

Any single sensor lets some defects through. Reading several at once — and forcing them to agree on one pass-or-reject — is what catches the flaw each of them, alone, would have missed.

Three kinds of part where a missed defect gets expensive.

We go deep on metal fabrication, where the costly defects are subsurface and a single escape can become a field failure. If you make any of these, you're in the right place.

01Welds

Structural & heavy-fab welds

Porosity, lack of fusion, and cracks in energy, heavy-equipment, and industrial weldments — high-consequence, below the surface, and invisible to a camera.

02Castings

Foundry castings

Surface and near-surface porosity, cracks, and inclusions checked against your ASTM or ISO acceptance class — without the fatigue and drift of all-manual inspection.

03Forged & machined

Forged & machined critical parts

Cracks and grinding burn in automotive-tier and industrial components, where one escape turns into a field failure downstream.

Different part, or not sure it's a match? The 60-second fit check gives you a straight answer either way.

Working from day one

Useful from the first part. Not the six-hundredth.

Most inspection tools make you gather hundreds of sample parts and have your QA team hand-label every defect before they'll give you a single result. They ship knowing nothing about your parts — so you spend months teaching them on your own clock.

Ours already knows what a crack, a void, and lack of fusion look like, so it makes real calls on the first parts you run. Your team's know-how makes it sharper over time — it isn't what makes it work in the first place.

The usual onboarding
  • Gather hundreds of sample parts, good and bad
  • Your QA team hand-labels every defect
  • Write up the SOPs and acceptance rules
  • Wait weeks to months for a first result

How it works

From raw part to a call you can stand behind.

A robotic inspection cell on your floor: an off-the-shelf arm, real sensing, and a decision already written in the language of your quality standard. Here's the loop.

  1. 1

    Set the standard

    You tell us the part, the defect that costs you the most, and the standard it ships to. The accept-or-reject rules are locked in before a sensor ever touches it.

  2. 2

    Scan it

    The arm runs the sensors over the part — ultrasound, camera, thermal — reading the same spots with each one, so no call rides on a single view.

  3. 3

    Get one clear call

    We fuse what the sensors found into a single pass or reject, judged against your standard — and show you what a wrong call would have cost, in dollars.

  4. 4

    Keep the record

    Every inspection is saved as a complete record. You get full traceability; the system gets sharper on exactly the defects your line produces.

Beyond pass / fail

Don't just find the bad part. Find what's making it.

Sorting good from bad leaves the expensive question unanswered: why does this keep happening? We connect what the inspection sees to how your line is built — so the same system that catches the defect also tells you which machine to fix.

PRODUCTION LINE →S1S2S3S4S5defecttraces back to S2change this
Detect

Every part gets one clear pass-or-reject call — surface and subsurface, including the defects inside the part a camera never sees.

Diagnose

Tell us your line — the machines, the components, how each part is built. We trace the defects that keep recurring back to the station, machine, or step producing them. Often it surfaces a problem you didn't know you had.

Prescribe

From the root cause, we tell you what to change to drive the defect rate down — moving you from “this part is bad” to “this station is why, change this.”

Standing up a new line? From day one you get a measurable quality target to optimize toward — instead of discovering your failure modes the slow, expensive way.

The cost of a miss

A 99% accurate inspector can still bankrupt a quality budget.

Accuracy hides the thing that hurts. Two inspectors can sort parts equally well on paper and cost you wildly different money — because one keeps letting defects escape to the field and the other just scraps good parts. Those mistakes aren't worth the same. So every call we make is priced: the dollar cost of an escape versus a scrap, against your real acceptance class.

That's how you decide where to set the line — tighter where an escape is a recall, looser where a reject is just a re-grind. Quality you can put a number on, not a percentage you have to trust.

We go deepest on metal fabrication.

Bring us the defect that keeps escaping.

We're taking on a small number of early partners in weld and casting fabrication — direct access to the engineers building it, and terms that reflect coming in early. Sixty seconds tells you if that's a fit.

We read every reply ourselves — no drip sequence.
