Automate custom welding for complex parts

Metal Marquis, a leader in the metallurgical and mining industries, faced a major challenge: automating the welding of unique and complex metal parts while maintaining an exceptional level of precision. Unlike large-scale production lines, where identical parts follow the same welding program, the parts handled by Metal Marquis vary widely in shape, size, and degree of wear. The company needed a solution that would allow a robot to dynamically adapt to the specific characteristics of each part - without requiring laborious manual reprogramming.

An intelligent robot that adapts in real time

Explorai developed a solution combining artificial intelligence and advanced robotics to give the welding robot the ability to analyze each part and adjust itself autonomously. Relying on advanced 3D modeling, the system identifies an optimized welding path for the targeted area. The planning algorithm takes into account the geometry of the part, the robot's physical constraints, and potential collision risks to define the ideal trajectory. Real-time path adjustments ensure a consistent weld, delivering both strength and high-quality results.

"A dedicated, innovative and multidisciplinary team. ExplorAi, accompanies us very well in our project, they rise to the challenges and find solutions. They have a very good project follow-up structure and are open to adapting as the project progresses. I recommend them! "

Faster production and enhanced quality control

The integration of this solution has transformed Metal Marquis' welding operations. Traditional methods required constant oversight and manual adjustment by an operator. The new system automates most of the process, while maintaining strict quality control. Every operation is recorded and documented, generating detailed reports on weld conformity and quality. This level of traceability enhances repair reliability and supports better operational management.

Mobile welding service for maximum flexibility

Beyond workshop optimization, the technology has unlocked a new frontier for Metal Marquis: mobile welding. Instead of transporting large, costly parts to a repair shop, the company can now deploy its robot directly on minig and industrial sites. This approach significantly reduces downtime and intervention delays, offering customers a more agile and cost-effective solution.

Strategic positioning for the future

This technology marks a turning point for Metal Marquis, positioning the company as a leader in custom welding automation. By integrating artificial intelligence and robotic vision into its processes, the company not only boosts production efficiency but also redefines industry standards. Its ability to combine flexibility and automation provides a strong competitive edge, establishing Metal Marquis as a benchmard in innovation and performance for automated welding.
