Acoustic Inspection Technology Startup Secures Funding To Revolutionize Quality Control

The system is a breeze to set up: simply position anywhere from one to thirty sensors around a metal part—small or large—for full coverage. users can choose to have the pingers tap sequentially or all at once, while every microphone listens to the acoustic reaction. Adjust the pinging strength and speed to suit the part, ensuring the best quality check. All managed through a user-friendly touchscreen. Simply place the part inside the testbench, and the system takes over, making quality control easier and more reliable for the operator.

Customers can harness the full potential of the in-line system, adding enhanced features for comprehensive end-of-line integration. An industrial PC ensures the algorithm runs seamlessly on-site. Designed for versatility, it supports any industrial field bus or communication protocol. It effortlessly connects with IT ecosystems, including cloud services and enterprise applications, such as ERP, MES, and CAQ systems.

​Embedded at the end of a manufacturing line, it operates autonomously, eliminating the need for operator intervention freeing up a skilled workforce to focus on more critical tasks to elevate productivity.
