Why Wahtari

Hardware and software from a single source

We develop our AI models, software and industrial hardware in-house – and deliver a fully integrated system instead of individual components.

State-of-the-art AI software

Anomaly detection with heatmap analysis and an intuitive user interface that requires no specialist knowledge.

Precise defect detection

End-to-end integration of AI into your quality assurance – reliable even for the smallest material defects.

High-performance solutions

Latest GPU technology and zero-copy from the camera to the GPU: we process gigabits of raw data in real time – even at high production speeds.

Integrated AI systems

Modular solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing lines and third-party systems.

Software

Spot defects before they become scrap

Our AI learns your product in minutes and highlights deviations with pixel-level precision as a heatmap – right at the line, with no cloud latency.

  • Anomaly detectionCracks, holes, contamination, deformations and much more.
  • Training without programmingTrain new products at the push of a button – detection becomes more accurate over time.
  • Edge processingYour production data stays in your plant.

Process

Five steps to AI-powered quality assurance

We support you from the initial idea through to live operation – and beyond.

  1. Assess your requirements

    We analyze your inspection task and advise you on possible solutions.

  2. Proof of concept

    We develop a tailored solution and present the results on your parts.

  3. Setup and installation

    The hardware is installed – without interrupting your ongoing production.

  4. Integration and commissioning

    We connect the software to your existing line and systems.

  5. AI training and support

    We train your team and continuously optimize the system.

Security

Your data stays in your plant

Our systems run entirely on site – secured and under your control.

Analysis on site

Images and inspection data are processed directly at the line and never leave your plant.

Secured system

Our own read-only operating system with Secure Boot and no open ports.

Updates with approval

No update without your consent – and automatically back to the last version if anything goes wrong.

Support from Germany

Remote maintenance via an encrypted connection, operated on servers in Germany.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Solutions & technology

What does Wahtari do?

Wahtari develops AI-powered optical inspection systems for industry – with mechanics, optics, electronics, AI and software from a single source. Its products include nScan for web and flat materials, nLine for cables, hoses and other extruded products, and nTire for the tire industry.

Can you also solve inspection tasks for which there is no product yet?

Yes. We develop complete inspection systems for tasks where standard solutions fail – from image capture through custom AI pipelines and our own AI models to the operator interface. Examples include the inspection of conveyor belts, logs, FFP2 masks, roof tiles and empty glass.

Which products and materials can be inspected?

Among others tires and wheels, cables and wires, hoses and pipes, textiles and nonwovens, films, sheet metal, batteries, packaging, paper, empty glass and logs. What matters is the inspection task – get in touch with us.

How fast is the analysis?

The analysis happens right at the line in 1 to 25 ms per image, depending on the system. Thanks to the latest GPU technology and zero-copy from the camera to the GPU, our systems process gigabits of raw data in real time.

How long does it take to teach in new products?

With Teach & Go, new products are taught in seconds to minutes. Every product is checked against a stored recipe – a new product needs a new recipe, not a new system.

Do our images and data leave the plant?

No. Images and inspection data are analyzed directly at the line and stay in your plant.

Does the system run on Windows?

No. Our systems run on Wahtari OS, our own operating system: read-only, signed with Secure Boot, without open ports and with updates only after your approval.

How does remote maintenance work, and can it be switched off?

Through the Wahtari Platform your devices can be reached via end-to-end encrypted WireGuard tunnels – only if you want. For maintenance you approve specific devices and a time window. A hardware switch on the machine disables remote access completely. Independent of that, the system can always be operated on your internal network.

How is the system connected to our line?

Via established industrial interfaces such as OPC UA, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, TCP/IP and REST API. Our systems can be integrated into existing lines and system concepts.

Working together

What does a project with Wahtari look like?

It takes five steps: we discuss your inspection task and advise you on possible solutions. In the proof of concept we develop a tailored solution and present the results on your parts. This is followed by setup and installation, integration into your line and systems, and commissioning. Finally, we train your team and keep optimizing the system.

How do we get in touch?

Write to us via the contact form or at info@wahtari.ai, or call us at +49 89 21 54 3000. One of our experts will get back to you shortly to discuss your inspection task.

What is the proof of concept?

In the proof of concept we develop a solution tailored to your inspection task and present the results on your own parts – before you decide on a system.

Does our production have to stop for the installation?

No. The hardware is installed without interrupting your ongoing production. We then connect the software to your existing line and systems.

What happens after commissioning?

We train your team and keep optimizing the system. Detection becomes more accurate over time. Support and updates are provided via the Wahtari Platform if you wish – only with your approval.

What happens when our products change?

A new product needs a new recipe, not a new system. New products are taught in seconds to minutes, and further checks can be added.
