Built on the Wandelbots NOVA platform, the solution ensures seamless integration with a wide range of robotic manipulators and leverages state-of-the-art simulation and optimization components.

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDYN) (Grid Dynamics), a leading provider of technology consulting, platform and product engineering, AI, and digital engagement services, today announced the successful launch of SmartRay's new software platform for robotic weld inspection. Drawing on its deep expertise in robotic control, advanced optimization, and AI engineering, Grid Dynamics helped transform robotic programming workflows at SmartRay—a global leader in high-end weld seam inspection—enabling greater automation, faster time-to-market, and significant cost reductions.

Innovating weld inspection by combining specialized 3D sensors with advanced processing algorithms is central to SmartRay's long-term strategy. Grid Dynamics extended SmartRay's software ecosystem with AI applications for workpiece feasibility checks and tool path generation, reducing the time required for initial analysis and path creation from days to minutes. The solution was built on the Wandelbots NOVA platform in close collaboration with the Wandelbots engineering team, delivering a seamless workflow—from feasibility checks and tool path creation to robot trajectory execution across a broad range of manipulators, thanks to NOVA's cross-platform hardware abstraction layer.

"Advancements in foundational embodied AI models can dramatically expand the applicability of robotics, creating significant demand for the associated hardware and software ecosystem—from robot programming platforms to observability tools to model and dataset management solutions," said Ilya Katsov, CTO, Americas at Grid Dynamics. "Our work with SmartRay and Wandelbots marks a key milestone in the journey toward next-generation robotics, allowing us to test and apply cutting-edge methods and technologies."

"We provide our customers with best-in-class turnkey weld inspection solutions, objective 100% quality control and data-driven process optimization," said Bernd Lorösch, VP Business Unit JOSY at SmartRay. "With Grid Dynamics' expertise, we can now offer next-generation robotic intelligence that dramatically simplifies the integration and operation of our solutions by automating critical tasks like feasibility analysis and tool path optimization."

"Wandelbots NOVA is transforming how companies approach robotic programming and operations in the age of AI," said Stephan Hotz, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Wandelbots. "By providing our platform as a basis enriched with domain-specific AI components developed by Grid Dynamics, we empower businesses to deploy robotic solutions faster and achieve meaningful gains in efficiency and cost savings. These collaborations lay the foundation for transforming our industries with physical AI."

This robotics AI initiative expands Grid Dynamics' ability to deliver transformative solutions to clients in manufacturing, logistics, and high-tech industries. To learn more about the AI Robotic Inspection Platform, read the case study.
