Weldmetrix provides a plug‑and‑play photodiode sensor that captures laser and optical emissions at up to 1 MHz during welding, streaming the data to its cloud‑native PROMOS analytics platform. The platform applies signal processing and AI to detect defects in real time and delivers dashboards, alerts, and API integration for MES/SCADA systems, enabling operators and quality engineers to intervene instantly.

Problem
Manufacturers often lack real‑time visibility into welding and other joining operations, causing undetected defects, excessive scrap, and costly rework or recalls. Existing monitoring solutions are either too slow, require extensive hardware integration, or cannot be accessed remotely by production stakeholders.
Solution
Weldmetrix delivers a high‑speed photodiode sensor (WLDR) that samples laser and optical emissions at up to 1 MHz, providing granular process data without interrupting the weld. The sensor plugs into the laser source, welding optics, or an external mount via a flexible adapter, enabling seamless retro‑fit on existing lines. Collected data stream into the cloud‑native PROMOS platform, where signal conditioning, feature extraction, and AI‑based defect detection run in real time. Users can view live dashboards, trend analyses, and automated alerts on PCs, tablets, or smartphones, allowing operators and quality engineers to intervene instantly. The software suite supports custom parameter libraries per material or welding method and offers APIs for integrating third‑party sensors or MES systems. By coupling ultra‑fast optical sensing with scalable analytics, Weldmetrix turns every weld into a data‑driven quality checkpoint.
Target Audience
Primary customers are welding engineers, quality‑assurance managers, and production supervisors in automotive, aerospace, medical‑device, energy, and additive‑manufacturing firms that require continuous, data‑driven weld quality control.
