Xiris Automation’s Audio AI Tool is an artificial intelligence tool for processing welding audio signals. It allows fabricators to teach an acceptable range of audio signal for a welding process that will then alarm on anomalies, like burnthrough and wire feed skips, in real time that could indicate welding defects. The tool is a result of product development efforts to meet fabricators’ requirements to remotely monitor welding processes and detect process discontinuities. The tool is included with WeldStudio 3 Pro software that provides camera controls, graphical overlays, video recording and playback, and image and audio processing.
