NovEye™ Autonomy is Novarc’s smart vision and image processing system that integrates state-of-the-art AI algorithms with advanced robotic controls to fully automate the pipe welding process while increasing productivity and delivering X-ray quality welds.
Using years of data collection and machine learning, this game changing software ties into the control system of the cobot and controls the weld pool the same way human welders would, allowing the boring, repetitive welds to be delegated to the robot.
NovEye™ Autonomy At A Glance
Fully Automated Welding
Uninterrupted welding thanks to NovEye’s multi-pass & multi-layer autonomous welding system.
Real-time Vision Processing

X-Ray Quality
Welds
Engineered features and advanced AI to achieve consistent and high-quality welds.
How NovEye™ Works
NovEye™ Autonomy evaluates the temporal and spatial welding parameters in real-time, allowing for immediate changes in the scene and welding process. It contains years of rigorous research, design, and development into a solution capable of observing and measuring the welding process, controlling motion parameters, and fine-tuning welding parameters throughout the entire welding process, from root to cap passes. Some of the selected features include:
Intelligent Multi-Pass Automatic Welding
NovEye™ Autonomy is designed to do level four autonomy with its advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. It delivers:
- Automatic root pass
- Seam tracking for multi-pass, multi-layer welding
- Automatic tack detection
- Fully automated root-to-cap weld to ensure complete penetration and eliminate blow through
Adaptive Welding Process Optimization
With the help of vision-based sensors and artificial intelligence, NovEye™ Autonomy observes and adapts to real-world imperfections to address:
- Part preparation and fit-up variations such as pipe misalignment and gap variations, weld puddle dynamics, and inherent welding process variables
- Real-time measurement and control capability to adjust for optimal welding parameters
Advanced Sensory
System
NovEye™ Autonomy achieves all this with its advanced sensory system,
which consists of:
which consists of:
- Vision-based cameras capturing the arc and weld pool from different angles to ensure fully understanding the welding scene
- Various sensors for accurate measurements of welding parameters
- Sonic sensor listening to the welding process
Continuous Improvement
NovEye™ Autonomy is engineered to be improved over time with the growth in the fleet size and the number of weld tasks. It learns from successful and failed welds and converts those data into better adaptation and less unpredictability during the welding process.
Over-the-air Upgrade
With the over-the-air software upgrade, you can start using NovEye™ Autonomy with zero interruption to your existing production. Upgrades offer features which permanently enhance the overall performance or capabilities of the robot.
Powerful Computing Hardware
All of NovEye™ Autonomy’s features run on best-in-class computing hardware employing powerful processors powered by Intel® and Nvidia®. It is able to run the most computation-intensive tasks today and adapt to new developments years down the road.
