Description:
Canada-Germany 3+2 SSQC with IconPro, Aachen University and Ford (Germany) and NRC and the University of Waterloo (Canada). The main focus of this international project will be to develop a set of ultrasound-based monitoring and artificial intelligence (AI) processing systems for each of resistance spot welding (RSW) and laser brazing (LBW). These systems will rely on real-time automated ultrasonic inspection, which requires the design and development of new single-element or phased array probes for monitoring each joining process. An AI system will automatically interpret the ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) data in real time, thus we will develop high-speed high-performance inference models using cutting-edge deep learning techniques. These real-time process monitoring systems represent major steps towards zero-defect manufacturing, NDE 4.0, Ind. 4.0
