In this episode, I dive into the fascinating world of non-destructive material testing with Christian Wagner from Vogt Ultrasonics and Jan Kutnik from Evoptima. Together, we explore how AI is revolutionizing spot weld inspection in the automotive industry, making quality control smarter and more precise than ever before.

We discuss the challenges of processing massive ultrasonic datasets, adapting AI models to real-world manufacturing, and the journey from legacy systems to cutting-edge solutions. If you’re curious about how collaborative robots, vision systems, and robust AI are reshaping factory floors—and what it takes for mid-sized companies to lead the charge—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
