SOLUTIONS
The majority of manufacturing today consists of high-mix high-variability productions. Due to underlying material behaviors or the demand for large numbers of SKUs, there are part-to-part variations and variabilities. Anything from a football helmet to a fighter jet goes through multiple steps of surface finishing and treatment operations in the manufacturing process.
Today these tedious and ergonomically challenging tasks are dependent on manual labor but as a society, we are facing an ever-growing labor shortage. To address this labor shortage, GrayMatter Robotics provides automated manufacturing solutions for your surface treatment needs.
TRANSFORMING HIGH-MIX APPLICATIONS
Traditionally, Robots in traditional automation can only repeat a pre-programmed motion blindly which cannot handle the variations and variabilities in high-mix manufacturing.
Our solutions leverage AI to autonomously program robots, enabling them to work on almost any part within minutes—delivering superior performance with faster and consistent results for your surface treatment solutions.

Configurations
Single Arm & Rail
Simplify your operations with our single-sided loading system. It comes with just one rail or pedestal/plate, taken from our standard rails, available in 4, 8, and 12 meters. Perfect for sanding, buffing, or polishing, this option uses a single robot to get the job done efficiently. Easy, straightforward, and effective.
Dual-Arm & Rails
Maximize your automated manufacturing productivity with our high-performance dual-arm and rails loading system. Designed for high efficiency, this center loading configuration employs two rails from our standard selection, facilitating the use of two manufacturing robots simultaneously. Ideal for tackling larger projects, whether sanding, buffing, or polishing, this option ensures faster completion of tasks, making it your go-to choice for maximizing output from our AI robots and handling substantial workloads with ease.
MOBILE ARM & RAIL
Bring efficiency to a whole new level with our mobile configuration. It comes with one 4 meter rail for horizontal setups. This flexible, moving system can be used in a number of ways, but is more than ideal for very large surfaces that typically require fleets of operators. The mobile configuration is more than equipped to take on lower force applications, such as spraying or sanding, and may also be specced for other applications.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Performance Composites Inc. Case Study
CLINT DECKER
Group Vp of Fiberglass
Patrick Industries Inc.
Most of those robots are all point to point or programming type and not the autonomous robots like you see with GrayMatter Robotics. That is a new technique, we’re looking at the only two robots in the world that sand autonomously. Ten years from now. I could see automation being a large part of the manufacturing facilities in all of Patrick, not just the fiberglass facilities.
JON CONERS
VP OF OPERATIONS
BEGA NORTH AMERICA
Our biggest concern was that our part-mix is very high, so it seemed like a very daunting task to automate such operations. SCAN&SAND™ has the ability to work on a component or a group of components and has a simple one-button operation.
FERNANDO PROTTI
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
LAWRENCE BROTHERS INC.
The GrayMatter Robotics team showed up within a couple of weeks and we were up and running. You know– we were optimized very quickly. We achieved our numbers extremely fast and we saw the advantage of that robot. Without a doubt, we feel that it was a great decision. I think nobody does what GrayMatter Robotics does. The most attractive thing that they provide is that AI technology that will scan the part and it makes the process so simple.
