RESONIKS is a technology company.
RESONIKS develops AI-powered acoustic testing for inline quality control, enabling fast, automated, and non-destructive detection of internal structural defects. Its QC600 product uses acoustic fingerprinting for flaw identification, providing 100% real-time inspection with immediate pass/fail results. This technology integrates precise quality checks efficiently into manufacturing production.
Founded in 2022 by Felix Wassmann, Fabian Oberndorfer, and Isaac Kargar, RESONIKS addresses limitations in traditional quality assurance. Recognizing existing methods missed critical defects, their collective experience led to an innovative approach. They apply artificial intelligence and acoustic analysis to establish a more reliable inspection standard.
RESONIKS serves manufacturers in demanding sectors like automotive, aerospace & defense, and industrial equipment, requiring impeccable quality. The company’s mission is to democratize comprehensive defect detection, integrating thorough quality control into business processes. Its vision aims to establish a new standard for zero-defect manufacturing and eliminating costly product recalls.

RESONIKS is a technology company founded in 2022 that develops AI-powered acoustic testing systems for non-destructive defect detection in metal components. Its core product automates quality control by analyzing acoustic resonance patterns to identify cracks, pores, and structural flaws in seconds, serving manufacturing industries like automotive, aerospace, maritime, and industrial equipment.[1][2][3][5] The system solves critical problems in traditional methods—such as slow, costly ultrasonic or X-ray testing, reliance on scarce skilled labor, and incomplete sampling—by enabling 100% inline testing that's up to 80% cheaper, fully automated, and integrable into production lines without internet or expertise needs.[3][5] With recent €2.65 million funding from EIT Manufacturing and others, RESONIKS shows strong growth momentum, exhibiting at EMO Hannover 2025 and partnering with global manufacturers.[1][4]
RESONIKS was founded in 2022 in The Hague, Netherlands, by Felix Wassmann (CEO), Fabian Oberndorfer (CTO), and Isaac Kargar (CIO), who bring expertise in AI, smart manufacturing, and acoustic science.[1][3][4] The idea emerged from automating modal analysis—an existing impact-testing technique—using AI to "listen" to metal parts' vibrations, akin to detecting if a guitar is in tune by its resonance, revealing hard-to-spot defects that visual or manual checks miss.[1][3] Early traction came via YES!Delft incubation and EIT Manufacturing's venture-building program, culminating in a €2.65 million seed round in 2024 to scale their patented, CE-certified hardware-software solution.[1][2][5]
RESONIKS rides the wave of AI-driven Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, where automation addresses labor shortages, rising defect-related costs (up to 20% revenue loss from scrap/recalls), and demands for zero-defect production in safety-critical sectors.[1][3][5] Timing is ideal amid post-pandemic supply chain pressures and Europe's push for resilient manufacturing via programs like EIT, enabling faster flaw detection before machining to cut waste.[1][2] Market forces like skilled worker scarcity and regulatory safety standards (e.g., automotive chassis, aerospace engines) favor its non-destructive, scalable approach, influencing the ecosystem by accelerating adoption of acoustic AI over legacy methods and supporting sustainable scaling for metalworking firms.[3][4][5]
RESONIKS is poised for rapid expansion with its funding and EMO 2025 showcase, targeting deeper penetration in automotive/aerospace while adapting for construction and civil infrastructure.[1][2][4] Trends like edge AI proliferation and zero-defect mandates will propel growth, potentially evolving it into a platform for multi-material testing. Its influence could reshape quality control standards, empowering manufacturers to achieve unprecedented efficiency and reliability.[5] From transforming metal defect detection, RESONIKS exemplifies how acoustic AI unlocks safer, leaner production at scale.[1][3]
RESONIKS has raised $3.0M in total across 1 funding round.
