Systems and methods for welding vehicle component assemblies

A system for welding vehicle component assemblies, the system comprising:

• a measurement sensor configured to scan a first vehicle component and a second vehicle component on a mechanical handling device;
• a welding apparatus configured to weld the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component together;
• memory configured to store a machine learning model configured to output predicted optimal welding parameters, virtual computer-aided design (CAD) design data for multiple vehicle components, and computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• access scan data of the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component from the measurement sensor;
• generate a CAD model of an as-scanned assembly of the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component according to the scan data;
• obtain input parameters for the machine learning model, the input parameters associated with one or more features of the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component;
• generate predicted optimal welding parameters, using the machine learning model, based on CAD model and the input parameters;
• and
• control the welding apparatus to perform at least one welding operation on the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component according to the predicted optimal welding parameters.
