End-of-line acoustic testing, weld monitoring and machine monitoring, from body shop to e-drive assembly.
Automotive is where our methods were first applied, in projects with German OEMs and suppliers, and it is where acoustics is already trusted: powertrain and e-drive plants routinely screen every unit acoustically at the end of the line, and laser weld cells are monitored optically. What plants lack is learning: test limits are still set by hand per variant, and weld monitoring stays on the optical channel. The pressure is the same on an Indian assembly line as in Stuttgart: zero-defect targets, a new e-drive variant every quarter and a supplier audit after each one.
Motors, e-axles, gearboxes, compressors and actuators: anomaly detection that generalises across variants, fewer false rejects, and traceability from an end-of-line signature back to the upstream station that caused it.
Laser and arc welding monitored by airborne acoustic emission as a second channel next to your optical monitor, trained across the process window so it survives recipe changes; the same pattern applies to resistance spot and ultrasonic welding.
Chatter, tool wear and breakage from audible and ultrasonic signatures fused with spindle load; die condition and misfeed detection from vibration and acoustic emission.
Motors, gearboxes and compressors in body shop, machining and assembly, monitored with fused vibration and acoustics, alongside the monitoring system you already run. Paint shops and other explosion-protected areas only with certified hardware, on request.
In service: bearing, rotor and mechanical faults from vibration and sound, fused with drive or PLC data. At the end of the line: acoustic pass/fail testing of new motors, e-axles, gearboxes and compressors with learned limits instead of fixed thresholds.
Laser and arc welds monitored in-process by airborne acoustic emission; the same pattern is proposed for resistance and ultrasonic welding.
Tool condition and process quality as product functions, fused with spindle load.
Almost every engagement begins with a feasibility study or a discovery call, because the cheapest thing to establish first is whether the signature is there at all.
Tell us the asset or the station, what goes wrong and how often. We answer every enquiry within 48 hours on working days.
Start with a free 30 to 45 minute discovery call. Bring the problem, the recordings you already have and your questions. We will tell you honestly whether sensing-based AI is the right tool and what the next step would cost in days, not months.
The asset or process, what goes wrong, and what recordings you already have. We reply within 48 hours on working days. NDAs are standard.
