AIBIZ (CEO Ha Seung-jae), an industrial manufacturing process AI (artificial intelligence) company, said on the 13th that it has registered a patent for an 'anomaly detection method based on laser welding data.' With this, the number of patents held by the company has reached 18 in total. The newly registered patent (anomaly detection method, device, and program based on laser welding data) is an AI technology that analyzes data generated in the laser welding process in real time to detect quality anomalies. Whereas conventional weld quality inspection relied on process sampling, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of all products, the AI solution based on this patent analyzes sensor data generated during welding in real time, enabling immediate anomaly detection. AIBIZ said this allows manufacturers to minimize defect rates and raise productivity. The company has gone through several PoCs (proof-of-concept tests) with major domestic secondary battery manufacturers. By significantly lowering the weld quality defect rate, it demonstrated that the patent is practical at industrial sites. The company expects it to be applicable to various industries such as automobiles, aircraft, and ships as well. AIBIZ CEO Ha Seung-jae said, "This will be an opportunity to establish a new standard for laser and ultrasonic welding processes," adding, "It also proves that AI-based real-time quality inspection technology can accelerate manufacturing innovation." According to AIBIZ, AI-based automated quality inspection is an essential element in accelerating smart factory implementation. The company plans to work with domestic and overseas companies to launch a full-scale entry into the global market.
