Autonomous Robot for Natural Stone Products
Success Story | Herbert Heim GmbH
2022-08-24
ARRTSM is proud to partner with Herbert Heim GmbH, a respected leader with more than 30 years of experience in the restoration and manufacturing of high-quality natural stone products. Renowned for precision craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, Herbert Heim represents the ideal partner for advancing the next generation of autonomous stone processing.
The Challenge in Traditional Stone Manufacturing
Conventional countertop manufacturing technologies face significant limitations, particularly when handling:
- Complex and intricate 3D countertop geometries
- Consistent quality requirements across customized designs
- The combined challenges of stone dust and water during processing
These constraints limited productivity, flexibility, and repeatable quality—especially in high-end stone applications.
Our Autonomous Solution
To overcome these challenges, ARRTSM developed and patented an innovative robotic stone-cutting technology designed to dramatically enhance productivity while elevating finished product quality.
Key System Capabilities
- Multi-robotic setup integrating waterjet cutting and stone edge processing
- Two autonomous robots operating independently
- Linear and rotating axes for complex spatial machining
- Centralized control via ARRTSM’s proprietary black-box automation system
Physical AI in Action
Enhanced with artificial intelligence and advanced image processing, the system:
- Optimizes material usage
- Generates autonomous toolpaths
- Adapts machining strategies in real time
- Delivers consistently high surface and edge quality
This combination of robotics, AI, and intelligent process control represents a major leap forward in autonomous stone manufacturing.
A Partnership Built on Craftsmanship & Innovation
