When weld quality drifts, look beyond the robot.

Rework rises at specific seams despite the same program. Teams need evidence spanning torch condition, fixture position and part variation.

Robotic welding

Data connections, decision rules and approved actions are designed for your equipment and operating criteria.

The production flow

Assemble & fixture → Robot weld → Inspect weld quality

01 · NAZARE

Connect data

Connect welding current, voltage, seam segments, cell alarms and fixture state to part IDs, torch service and inspection images.

NAZARERobotic welding · Equipment signal analysis

02 · NAZARE · Ontology

Capture operating criteria

Structure part–fixture–seam relationships, torch consumable checks, fault inspection sequences and cell restart conditions.

03 · NAVIS

Assess causes & actions

NAVIS links defect locations to weld segments and compares torch and fixture evidence. It requests more checks when evidence is insufficient.

  • Execute with approval — When cell inspection is approved, NAVIS requests action through NAZARE. NAZARE sends the permitted stop request to the cell PLC; staff perform inspection.
  • Verify results — Check trial welds and inspection results, then record the work and restart approval.
NAVISRobotic welding · Investigation & approval plan

↶ Keep verified outcomes and actions in NAZARE to inform the next decision.

Machine safety circuits, interlocks and operating procedures remain in place. Control requires approval and verified communication, permissions and equipment state. ML models can be added under a separate scope.

What operators and managers can assess

Operators

Follow checks across robot, fixture and torch.

Management & production leads

Connect rework with the causes of cell stops.

Measures to validate in a pilot

  • Weld rework rate
  • Cell downtime
  • Fault recurrence

Establish a baseline and compare under matching product and operating conditions. Outcomes depend on data quality and site conditions.

What we confirm first

Confirm available signals, product and lot links, operating criteria, approvers and permitted controls. Ingkle experts structure know-how as ontology in NAZARE using field interviews and proprietary tools.
