Overcoming Variability Challenges in Surface Processes with Adaptive Automation

SOUTHWEST Session: Manufacturers increasingly struggle with robotic surface finishing, treatment, and welding as production shifts toward high-mix, high-variability manufacturing. Traditional robotic systems demand time-consuming, manual programming—often taking days or weeks to accommodate complex geometries. These systems also lack adaptive capabilities, making it difficult to compensate for part variations. The result: costly manual touchups, process inefficiencies, and production delays.   Augmentus transforms robotic surface applications by combining advanced 3D scanning with automated toolpath generation. By eliminating the need for manual programming and enabling seamless adaptation to part variations, Augmentus delivers greater accuracy, reduced rework, and significantly improved operational efficiency.   This presentation explores how Augmentus overcomes key industry barriers—empowering manufacturers with precision, adaptability, and unmatched process efficiency across surface finishing, surface treatment, and welding applications.
