Rewriting the Macrography Manual: How AI is Transforming Weld Inspection

In the high-stakes world of manufacturing—particularly in the automotive and heavy machinery sectors—precision is not just a goal; it is a requirement. Yet, for decades, weld inspection (macrography) has relied on a process prone to the one variable you cannot control: human interpretation.

Manual measurements, subjective analysis, and slow reporting create bottlenecks that modern production lines can no longer afford. It is time to change the rules.

Enter Digimet DIS (Weld Inspection Solution), the applied artificial intelligence platform that is replacing manual variability with digital certainty. By automating the macrography process, DIS doesn't just improve your workflow; it redefines it, delivering zero interpretation and zero error.

Here is how Digimet DIS is setting a new global standard for quality control:

1. Operational Efficiency: The 80% Productivity Leap

Time is the most expensive currency on the shop floor. Traditional inspection methods are slow, requiring manual caliper measurements and tedious data entry.

DIS eliminates this friction. Designed to maximize manufacturing efficiency, the system delivers a proven 80% gain in productivity.

• Real-Time Measurement: The AI performs automatic, instant measurements. While the operator moves to the next capture, the system has already processed the previous data, creating a seamless, continuous workflow.

• Smart Identification: You do not need to tell the system what it is looking at. DIS automatically identifies the base material and filler material, executing all necessary feature measurements without human intervention.

2. Unmatched Precision and Compliance

In global projects, "close enough" is never enough. Manual inspections often suffer from operator fatigue or varying interpretations of "acceptable."

With DIS, precision becomes the rule.

• 99% Repeatability: By removing the human factor from the measurement itself, DIS guarantees up to 99% repeatability.

• Standard Alignment: Whether you are adhering to internal quality protocols or strict client requirements (such as automotive IATF standards), the system ensures every required measurement line is traced exactly as defined.

• Global Integration: References and characteristics can be configured in any language, making it the perfect tool for multi-national teams.

3. Reporting at the Speed of Production

How long does it take your team to generate a full quality report? Minutes? Hours?

With Digimet DIS, it takes less than 3 seconds.

• One-Click Generation: Select your template, click once, and your report is ready to share or print.

• Rich Detail: Reports are highly customizable, automatically including all measurements, high-resolution images, and the complete process timeline.

• Version Control: The system automatically manages approved/rejected statuses and records new versions for re-issuance, ensuring your documentation audit trail is always pristine.

4. Strategic Control: Management 4.0

DIS transforms technical data into actionable business intelligence. It moves quality control from a "reactive" task to a "proactive" management strategy.

Through the Management Dashboard, managers gain a 24/7 view of the operation:

• Instant Indicators: Access core KPIs like CP (Process Capability) and CPK (Process Capability Index) in real-time.

• SPC (Statistical Process Control): Monitor production stability automatically without complex external spreadsheets.

• The Health Chart: A standout feature that allows you to access the full history of a process—selecting by client or part—without typing a single keyword.

Note: CP measures potential capability, while CPK measures actual capability based on centering. SPC uses statistical tools to monitor process consistency.

5. Modern Infrastructure & ISO Certified Security

In an era of digital manufacturing, your software must be as robust as your hardware. DIS is built on a modern, secure architecture designed for scalability.

• 100% Web-Based: No installation required. Access the platform via any browser, from anywhere in the world.

• Unlimited Scalability: Centralize your global operation with unlimited users and teams working simultaneously.

• ISO 27001 Certified: Your data integrity is protected by the highest international standard for information security (ISO/IEC 27001).

Conclusion: Stop Outsourcing Your Precision

The future of inspection is not about working harder; it is about working smarter. Digimet DIS offers the digital transformation your quality lab needs to reduce scrap, ensure compliance, and maximize throughput.

Don't let manual errors define your product quality. Make Different.
