Voice-Activated Welding: Efficiency And Safety Redefined

Revolutionizing Welding Operations with Voice-Activated Efficiency!

Efficiency. Safety. Throughput. They’re all essential to your manufacturing floor’s productivity. Success isn’t about chance — it’s built on solutions you can count on. VIKI OS helmet

That’s why we’re launching VIKI OS, short for Voice-Initiated Kinetic Intelligence Operating System. Designed to revolutionize welding operations by offering hands-free control, VIKI OS’ innovative features boost productivity and enhance workplace safety. VIKI OS works through a headset inside an operator’s helmet, enabling them to control ALM positioners with simple voice commands. No need to flip up helmets, remove gloves or walk back and forth to a control pendant — VIKI OS listens, processes commands and verifies safety before executing any movement. This game-changing system eliminates unnecessary steps, allowing operators to stay focused on the task at hand.

Advancing Welding Safety and Productivity

VIKI OS was created with two priorities in mind: efficiency and safety. The system streamlines workflow management by eliminating manual interactions with control pendants while maintaining rigorous safety protocols. Before executing any command, VIKI OS implements a precision pause, ensuring each operation is deliberately confirmed and safely executed.

“VIKI OS isn’t just about convenience — it’s about creating a safer and more efficient work environment,” said Kevin Toft, chief revenue officer at ALM Positioners. “By integrating AI-driven voice control, we’re removing barriers that slow down production and create safety risks. This technology helps keep operators in control while making their jobs easier.”

Next-Gen Welding Operations

VIKI OS isn’t about making machines faster or demanding more from operators — it’s about removing inefficiencies and creating a more seamless interaction between humans and machines. Here’s how it delivers real value:

  • Minimizes Risks – Reduces human error by ensuring voice commands are deliberate and movements are safely executed.
  • Streamlined Workflows – Hands-free operation eliminates unnecessary steps, boosting efficiency and allowing welders to focus on their work.
  • Enhanced Safety – Operators maintain control while reducing physical strain and distractions. This results in fewer repetitive stress injuries and a safer, more ergonomic work environment.
  • Increased Productivity – By eliminating the need to stop work to manually adjust settings, VIKI OS helps operators complete tasks more quickly and with greater precision.
  • Scalable Technology – As AI capabilities advance, VIKI OS will continue to receive updates, ensuring customers always have access to the latest features and enhancements.

The future of manufacturing demands innovative solutions that drive both productivity and safety. That’s why ALM continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in welding automation. VIKI OS represents our commitment to developing practical, advanced technologies that deliver real value on your shop floor.
