STAHLWERK supports the Fraunhofer Technology Day
Testing and measurement procedures are of great importance in manufacturing, especially in the metal industry. Therefore, developing new methods for comprehensive quality assurance measures is crucial.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT is dedicated to this topic and will present ideas and results to a large professional audience at a Technology Day on March 5, 2026, in Erfurt.
Acoustics and AI make processes safe and effective
The conference demonstrates in a practical way how acoustic sensors and Artificial Intelligence make production processes more efficient, safer, and resource-friendly – from the early detection of deviations to automated quality assurance.
Research meets Practice
As a manufacturer of welding equipment with a focus on quality and practical suitability, STAHLWERK supports the Technology Day as a partner to promote the transfer of research into industrial application.
Testing and measurement procedures are of great importance in manufacturing, especially in the metal industry. Therefore, developing new methods for comprehensive quality assurance measures is crucial.
Intelligently monitoring welding processes
Especially in industrial welding processes, acoustic monitoring combined with AI methods can ensure process stability and efficiency directly during manufacturing.
Quality and seam integrity can be continuously monitored and directly improved by adjusting parameters. The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT is dedicated to this topic and presents ideas and results to a large professional audience.

Listen Closely, Produce More Competitively
The Fraunhofer IDMT Technology Day combines knowledge transfer and networking. It offers practical demonstrations of how AI and acoustics make production more efficient and robust. Companies can detect deviations or sources of interference earlier. This reduces scrap rates and minimizes time-consuming rework. As a result, throughput times are shortened, and resources are used more effectively. At the same time, automated monitoring relieves the teams. This increases process reliability. In short: listen closely, produce more competitively in the future.
