What Is ART?
Autonomous Repair Technology (ART)
is our proprietary system for digitized, robot-led component repair.
It replaces the variability of manual work with
intelligence, precision, and full digital traceability.
The Result?
✅ 100% repeatability
✅ 69% faster repair cycles
✅ 63% fewer reworks
✅ 52% less reliance on welders
✅ Certified digital documentation for every job
ART isn’t an upgrade — it’s a transformation.
The A in ART stands for - Autonomous
Autonomy with the help of vision systems, 3D data
and artificial intelligence for programming.
Digital comparisons of worn components are carried out,
automatic robot path planning is programmed
and the components are beeing repaired.
The SPR principle:
S for Scan – the area to be processed.
P for program – the toolpath by data-comparison
(actual- vs. target-contour).
R for Repair – the detected area according to the program.
This scan program repair process is repeated until the job is done.
The R in ART stands for - Repair
In high-performance environments, various types of defects can occur.
Here are the most important types of defects that are repaired using ART:
Abrasion, Adhesion or cold welding, Tribocorrosion, Surface fatigue,
Erosion, Casting defects, Machining defects, Welding defects, etc.
The T in ART stands for - Technolgy
Our Core-Technology is the DED-process (Directed Energy Deposition).
It is an additive manufacturing process, ideal for welding repairs.
What is the DED process?
In Directed Energy Deposition (DED), metal powder or metal wire
is applied directly to the component and melted at the same time.
This allows material to be built up layer by layer.
Why is DED ideal for high-performance components?
- Repair instead of new production:
Instead of completely replacing, worn areas can be restored. - Durable coatings:
Stressed areas can be reinforced with wear-resistant materials. - Minimal heat-affected zone:
Less material distortion than with conventional welding processes. - Coating close to the final contour:
Precisely controllable coatings – applied close to the final contour.
No rough post-treatment is required. - Flexible choice of materials:
Different metal alloys can be combined to improve wear resistance.
