Automating a certified trade that is running short of people.
SynSpect is AI software that measures every weld on a manufacturer's existing scanner, checks it against the governing welding code, and returns a traceable recommendation. The customer's inspector keeps sign-off.
- 01Software only
- 02~10 training samples to deploy

Certified inspectors are retiring faster than new ones are entering the trade, while defence spending and reshoring push weld volumes up.
Overview
The case in four points.
01
The problem
Weld inspection is still done visually and with hand gauges. It is slow, it varies between inspectors, and it leaves little evidence behind.
02
Why now
Fewer inspectors and more welds to check. Measuring every weld automatically leaves the inspectors there are to sign off and to look at the welds that need them.
03
The product
Software only, on hardware customers already own. Proprietary in-house AI models, so a deployment needs about 10 training samples.
04
The team
Two founders at Western University, backed by ESI, with a research partnership with Western's D2M Lab.
