Weldeon is the operations layer for welding and metal fabrication. It cuts, fits, welds, sequences, inspects and paces — closing the loop from perception to robot and parameter control, and hitting the target weld quality, distortion and takt before the arc strikes.
Weldeon is built for the shops that hold the built world together.
Segments served. Named customer references are not yet public — traction is disclosed under NDA to prospective partners and investors.
Bridges, ships, pressure vessels, pipelines, wind towers, rail cars and heavy equipment all rest on the same thing: a joint that must carry stress and pressure for decades without a crack or a pocket of unfused metal. Every one of those joints is a small, unforgiving act of manufacturing.
Fabrication means cutting and forming to exact geometry, fitting up and tacking to a precise gap, welding with exact heat input and travel speed, managing the distortion that heat inevitably creates, and inspecting for the flaws you cannot see. A bad fit-up, a heat-input error, an arc instability or a hidden lack of fusion turns into rework, rejection, or — at worst — a field escape.
And the shop floor is running out of the people who can do it. The welder and fitter shortage is severe and worsening, the work is hazardous and ergonomically punishing, and managers run blind on real-time weld quality, heat input, distortion, yield and weld genealogy across the whole line.
Weldeon senses the joint, decides the pass, and moves the robot — then checks its own work against the code before the part moves downstream.
The weld agent holds heat input, travel speed, wire feed and weave inside the qualified WPS envelope while tracking the seam in real time. When the joint moves — and it always moves — the parameters move with it.
The defect agent reads radiography, phased-array ultrasonic and shop vision to find porosity, cracks, lack of fusion, undercut and slag — and, more usefully, to predict them from the arc signature before the weld is finished.
Before the arc strikes, the twin simulates the weld sequence and predicts distortion, residual stress and takt. Sequences are chosen on the model, not on the assembly — so the expensive lesson happens in software.
“A weld is a decision made a thousand times a shift. Autonomy is simply making it the same way every time.”
Each agent owns a scope of the shop. They share one model of the part, one weld record, and one definition of done.
Controls plasma, laser and oxy cutting, nesting, bending and forming so plate and sections leave the front of the shop at the geometry the joint actually needs.
Senses and controls root gap, alignment, bevel and tack placement — the single largest upstream cause of weld failure and rework.
Runs robotic arc, laser and resistance welding: heat input, travel speed, wire feed, weave and real-time seam tracking, pass by pass.
Plans weld sequence, balances heat, and predicts out-of-plane distortion and residual stress before the assembly leaves tolerance.
Reads X-ray, ultrasonic and vision data to detect and predict porosity, cracks, lack of fusion, undercut and slag — machine-read, engineer-approved.
Optimises first-pass yield, rework hours and line balance across cutting, fitting, welding and finishing stations.
Drives welding robots, positioners, gantries and part handling — including approach, reach and collision-free motion around large weldments.
Holds right-first-time, non-conformance, weld genealogy and code traceability to AWS D1.1, ASME BPVC, ISO 3834 and EN 1090.

Figures on this page describe the pilot scorecard Weldeon underwrites with design partners. They are target outcomes, not audited customer results; customer names and traction are not yet public.
The loop is the product. Everything else — dashboards, reports, genealogy — falls out of it.
The part, the joints and the weld sequence are simulated overnight. Distortion, stress and takt are predicted; the sequence with the best margin wins.
Nesting and cutting run to the geometry the joint needs. Fit-up is measured, not assumed: gap, alignment and bevel are held before a tack is placed.
The robot runs the pass. Seam tracking, heat input and travel speed are adjusted continuously inside the qualified envelope, pass by pass.
Arc signature, vision, RT and UT are read as the weld is made and immediately after. Indications are called with confidence and routed to your inspector.
Every weld leaves a genealogy record — WPS, consumable lot, fit-up, heat input, passes, NDT, distortion. The fleet gets better at the joints you actually build.
The yield-and-takt agent balances cutting, forming, fit-up, tacking, welding, distortion management, NDT and finishing against the line's takt — and shows you the station that is actually costing you rate.
Weldeon is a system of action, not another dashboard. It reads and writes to the equipment, sensors and systems already on your floor.
Pricing follows the wedge: prove the loop on a single cell or line, then expand by cells, modules, shops and sites.
Cell
$15,000per welding or cutting cell / line, per month
For fabricators validating ROI on the wedge.
Factory · Recommended
$95,000per shop, per month
For scaling shops adopting the full loop.
Enterprise
Customtypically $700k–$9M ACV
For fabrication and OEM groups standardising on Weldeon.
Annual prepay carries a 15–20% discount. Outcome-based components are available on the highest-value workflows — yield, rework, defect escapes and first-pass yield.
No. Weldeon takes the passes that are repeatable, hazardous and rate-constrained, and gives your welders and fitters the harder, higher-value work: procedure development, fit-up judgement, repair welding and supervision of more cells per person. Shops adopt Weldeon because they cannot hire enough welders, not because they want fewer.
Enough repeat volume on one cell or line to show ROI; existing robotic welding or cutting equipment with controller access; some inspection capability — X-ray, ultrasonic or vision; and an MES or weld-data system with an API. An executive mandate to raise yield or cut rework matters as much as the equipment.
Weldeon operates inside your qualified WPS envelope, not around it. Parameters are bounded by the qualified range, every deviation is logged, and the platform produces the weld genealogy record your quality engineer needs for AWS D1.1, ASME BPVC, ISO 3834 or EN 1090 review.
Not unless you allow it. The control loop runs on a factory edge appliance and works air-gapped. Cloud sync — fleet learning, benchmarks, long-horizon genealogy — is opt-in per site and per data class.
Book a pilot on one cell or line. We agree the scorecard before we start — first-pass yield, rework hours, defect escapes, takt — and we report against it in the open.
