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

iiot

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
