Strategic Collaboration on AIR-X Project

ARRTSM and MEZ-TECHNIK GmbH announce a strategic collaboration to deliver AIR-X, an AI-driven autonomous robotic solution for air duct and ventilation manufacturing.

Hailfingen, Germany – July 10, 2019

ARRTSM is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with MEZ-TECHNIK GmbH for the development and deployment of the AIR-X Project—a groundbreaking robotics-based automation solution for the air duct and ventilation manufacturing industry.

This partnership combines ARRTSM’s expertise in autonomous robotics and industrial automation with MEZ-TECHNIK’s deep market reach in HVAC systems, with the shared objective of transforming air duct production through AI-powered, CNC-controlled robotic manufacturing.

The AIR-X System

Designed and engineered by ARRTSM, the AIR-X system integrates advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, and digital manufacturing workflows, including:

  • Fully 3D path-programmed CNC robotic cells
  • Machine vision and AI for intelligent part handling
  • Integrated multi-tasking operations:
    • Frame assembly
    • Sealing
    • Laser labeling
    • Interior nano-coating
  • Modular scalability from 1 to 6+ robotic arms
  • XML / CSV-based production data integration, enabling seamless flow from design to deployment

Three-Phase Rollout Strategy

The AIR-X project follows a structured deployment roadmap:

Phase I

Functional deployment of:

  • Frame assembly
  • Sealing processes
  • Laser-based part labeling

Phase II

Integration with:

  • Profiling systems
  • Sawing systems
    to deliver fully assembled air duct frames

Phase III

Deployment of a fully autonomous robotic plant, enabling:

  • High-speed production
  • Zero manual intervention
  • Complete air duct system manufacturing

Partnership Structure

Under the collaboration agreement:

  • MEZ-TECHNIK GmbH

    • Holds global distribution rights within the HVAC industry
    • Manages end-customer sales and market access
  • ARRTSM

    • Leads system engineering and development
    • Delivers software customization
    • Provides service, maintenance, and warranty support
  • Joint IP Ownership

    • All patents developed under the AIR-X project will be co-owned by both partners

To support the initiative, ARRTSM and MEZ-TECHNIK are jointly applying for German federal and state innovation grants.

Industry Impact

The AIR-X system is expected to create a paradigm shift in ventilation manufacturing, delivering:

  • Significant labor cost reductions
  • Rapid return on investment
  • Scalable automation for mid-sized and large manufacturers

Looking Ahead

This collaboration represents another key milestone in ARRTSM’s mission to modernize traditional industries through intelligent automation.

“Together with MEZ-TECHNIK, we’re turning vision into action—delivering industrial-grade autonomy to a sector ready for transformation,”
