Industrial laser welding process monitored in real time
Customized optical sensors for industrial process monitoring

Your process ran.
We know what happened inside it.

Industrial processes run 24 hours a day. Defects form in milliseconds. CareGlance SS-OCT sensors see inside your process as it happens — so you catch failures in real time, not in the reject bin.

30-day on-site pilot. No commitment required.

The problem

Your process is running. But are you watching it?

Cameras show surfaces. Pyrometers give single numbers. Post-process X-ray finds what already failed. CareGlance SS-OCT sees inside the process — depth, geometry, stability, anomalies — while it is still running. That is the difference between catching a defect and shipping one.

100%
of the process monitored — not sampled, not estimated

Every part. Every joint. No statistical gaps.

Real-time
3D imaging during the process, not after it completes

Corrective action while the cell is still open.

48h
typical installation time — on your existing machine

The Satellite Box mounts directly on your equipment. No line modification. No downtime. No new infrastructure.

How it works

Two boxes. One algorithm. Inside your process.

The CareGlance system has two hardware components and one proprietary algorithm — all engineered in-house, all customized to your machine and your process.

CareGlance SS-OCT sensor system
Step 01

The Satellite Box

Installs directly on your existing machine. Captures the optical signal from inside the process. No downtime. No line modification. No disruption.

Step 02

The Core Box

Processes the signal and sends structured data to your computer in real time. Every measurement. Every anomaly. Continuously.

Step 03

Proprietary Algorithm

Our internally developed algorithm reconstructs high-precision 3D images from the signal — turning invisible process data into actionable quality intelligence.

Applications

One sensor platform. Every industrial process.

The same SS-OCT technology adapts to your specific process. We have worked across seven application fields. Here is where we are active.

Laser welding
Primary application

Laser welding

Inline monitoring of the complete welding process — every pass, every joint, every defect flagged before the part moves downstream.

Additive manufacturing
Primary application

Additive manufacturing

Layer-by-layer quality control for DMLS and SLM metal 3D printing. Detect porosity, delamination, and geometry deviation as the build progresses.

E-mobility & EV batteries
Active development

E-mobility & EV batteries

Copper hairpin welding, busbar connections, cell assembly inspection. Every joint monitored inline, in real time.

Why CareGlance

Not adapted. Built for it.

01

Fully customized

Every CareGlance system is engineered for your specific process, your machine, and your materials. Not a catalogue product. Not a standard configuration adapted to your situation.

02

Entirely in-house

The SS-OCT technology, the Satellite Box hardware, the Core Box, and the proprietary reconstruction algorithm — all developed internally by our team. No black boxes. No licensed components we cannot control.

03

Real-time, in-process

Monitoring during the process — not after it. This is the fundamental difference that makes corrective action possible before a defect becomes a scrapped part, a recall, or a safety failure.
