Applications
Nondestructive evaluation underpins safety-critical industries from energy to healthcare. Sondera brings one AI pipeline, from raw waveform to auditable decision, to all of them.
Sectors
Wind turbine blades, pipeline welds, pressure vessels, and nuclear components are inspected on strict schedules, and a missed defect can shut down an asset for weeks.
Sondera turns recurring inspection campaigns into comparable, versioned datasets: detection with confidence values, growth tracking between campaigns, and reports that satisfy regulators.
Composite airframes, bonded joints, radomes, and protective coatings demand subsurface inspection where cutting a coupon is not an option and paperwork is as audited as the part.
THz-TDS is non-ionizing and sees layer-by-layer into dielectric composites and coatings. Sondera maps delaminations and thickness deviations and keeps the full decision trail for qualification.
EV battery enclosures and welds, lightweight composite bodies, adhesive bonds, and castings run at automotive production rates, where manual evaluation of every scan cannot keep up.
Automated screening handles the volume: the model clears the clear cases, flags the ambiguous ones for an expert, and every accept or reject stays traceable to the underlying signal.
Medical device housings, pharmaceutical tablet and film coatings, and packaging seals are regulated products where contamination or coating faults reach patients directly.
Terahertz measures coating thickness and uniformity without contact or ionizing radiation, and Sondera's audit-ready reporting matches the documentation culture of GMP environments.
Additive parts, castings, and welded assemblies carry porosity, inclusions, and lack-of-fusion defects that decide whether a batch ships or gets scrapped.
Feed existing UT or CT data through one pipeline: consistent defect calls across shifts and sites, statistics per batch and supplier, and fewer good parts scrapped out of caution.
Bridge decks, tendons, concrete covers, and FRP retrofits age in place, and inspection budgets force hard choices about what gets looked at and when.
Decision support ranks indications by severity and growth so limited budgets go to the right structures first, with a defensible record of why each call was made.
Why Sondera
01
Models are built on the wave physics of each modality and validated against simulation and reference measurements. When an inspector asks why, there is an answer.
02
Each detection links back to the raw signal, the model version, and the acceptance criterion applied. Audits stop being archaeology.
03
Sondera processes the data your instruments already produce. No rip-and-replace: value starts with the scans you have on disk today.
04
The scarce resource in NDE is senior interpretation time. Sondera clears routine calls automatically and routes the hard ones to your experts with context.
05
Every call ships with a confidence measure. Borderline indications are flagged as borderline instead of being silently rounded to pass or fail.
If you inspect it with a signal, we are interested. Tell us about your inspection problem and we will say plainly whether Sondera fits.
Describe your caseThe fastest way to evaluate Sondera is a demo on scans from your own parts. Composite materials and THz data get first priority through the pilot program.
