Feature · AI Weld Inspection

AI-powered weld defect detection — cited to the specific clause

A photo goes in. A formal, standards-cited inspection report comes out — AI-drafted with the specific clause named on every finding, reviewed and signed off by your qualified inspector. No more undocumented judgment calls: every determination carries its citation and its reviewer.

The flow

How it works

  1. 1

    Inspector uploads photo from phone

    Any camera works — JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 10MB.

  2. 2

    AI analyzes against selected standard

    ISO 5817, AWS D1.1, JIS Z 3001, or other supported standards.

  3. 3

    Each finding classified by severity

    Critical, Major, or Minor — driven by the standard's tolerance bands.

  4. 4

    Each finding cited to the specific clause

    Example: ISO 5817:2023 Section 5.2 — Undercut. No ambiguity.

  5. 5

    Corrective action recommended per finding

    Repair grind, re-weld, weld-out, or accept-as-is with justification.

  6. 6

    Overall verdict — Pass, Fail, Conditional

    Conditional verdicts list every remediation needed to reach Pass.

AI sensitivity controls

Standard

Balanced detection — routine inspections.

Strict

Higher sensitivity — critical applications.

Lenient

Reduced sensitivity — preliminary review.

Re-analyze capability: change sensitivity without re-uploading the photos. The original images stay attached to the inspection record while the AI produces a new verdict.

Beyond the photo

As-executed weld verification from the machine's own data

Arc Verification ingests what the welding machine actually recorded — amperage, voltage, wire feed speed, travel speed, and derived heat input — and compares it deterministically against the WPS each weld was supposed to follow. An out-of-parameter weld becomes a finding backed by machine evidence; your team decides what happens next.

  • Deterministic comparison — every captured parameter is checked against the governing WPS ranges, including Flaggity-derived heat input
  • Machine-evidenced findings — an out-of-parameter weld raises a finding with the recorded values attached; a human raises the NCR from it
  • Honest capture gaps — what the machine didn't record shows as not captured, what can't be computed as not derivable; gaps are surfaced, never assumed compliant
  • Published ingest contract — machine data arrives through the flaggity.arc_data.v1 format, by logger-file import or direct ingest
