Award recognition for “InProcess” welding inspection

University of Strathclyde spinout InProcess has been honoured for developing what has been described as the world’s first real-time inspection system for welding using ultrasonic waves to detect defects as they occur. 

The innovation could potentially save manufacturers millions of pounds and reduce rework and delays. 

The solution secured top prize at this year’s Converge Awards, an annual ceremony designed to celebrate and reward the pinnacle of Scottish academic innovation. 

InProcess impressed judges of the Converge Challenge award category, which recognises novel business ideas with solid IP foundations, high commercial potential and scalability, earning a GBP 50,000 cash prize and GBP 20,500 of in-kind business support.
