brand: Therness
one_line: AI‑powered welding monitoring cameras and software for real‑time defect detection, automated compliance evidence, and weld quality control.

about:
  Therness builds multi‑sensor welding monitoring systems (thermal, visual, acoustic) with edge AI.
  The platform detects weld defects in real time, stabilizes processes, and auto‑generates ISO 17635/ISO 3834 aligned evidence.
  Products integrate with robotic welding cells and feed traceability into QMS/MES/ERP.
