Case study·Automotive Weld Shop

Weld part & lock inspection, before the robot fires.

Advitiix AI-Inspect® verifies every clamp, lock, and part position on the weld fixture in real time - releasing the welding robot only when the assembly is fully locked and correct.

Challenge

One missed clamp ruins the weld

If a single clamp or lock is open when the welding robot starts, the part shifts - leading to scrap, rework, and unplanned downtime on a high-volume line.

Solution

Vision AI confirms every lock

An overhead camera checks every clamp position on the fixture, identifies the loaded model, and only signals the robot to start when all locks are confirmed.

Outcome

Robot starts only when safe

Operators see live lock status on a model-specific dashboard, and the robot interlock releases only on a full PASS - protecting cycle time and weld quality.

Inside the operator dashboard

Pick the model, see every lock.

One screen the operator actually uses - model selection on the left, live fixture status on the right. The robot waits for a green board.

What the system delivers

Every clamp, every cycle, every model.

Per-clamp lock detection

Every clamp on the fixture is detected and tracked individually with a clear locked/unlocked state.

Model-aware checks

Each part model has its own lock map - the system validates against the right pattern automatically.

Robot interlock

The welding robot start signal is released only on a full PASS, preventing welds on an unlocked part.

Cycle-time safe

Inference runs in seconds at line rate, with full history retained for traceability.
