Vision System
IIOT & ML based Weld Quality
Prediction in Cold Rolling Plant
Unsafe and error-prone hammer test for weld
inspection is replaced with ultrasonic & AI based technique
Challenges & Objective
- Hammer test is performed to
check the quality of the weld
- Error-prone as well as
involves risk of injury or human life
- Any weld failure in the
process causes complete shut down of the mill resulting into heavy losses
Solution
- Hammer test is replaced
with ultrasonic head scanning the complete weld
- real-time analysis of
ultrasonic scan data to assess the metal thickness variation along the length of the
weld
- Machine learning of the
processed scan data for prediction of weld quality
