Grid Dynamics Launch Robotic Inspection Programming Solution
Grid Dynamics, a provider of technology consulting, platform and product engineering, AI, and digital‑engagement services, showcased its TPGen robotic solution at the recent Automatica 2025 event for smart automation and robotics in Munich, Germany. The TPGen solution from Grid Dynamics, developed in collaboration with robotics industry partner Wandelbots, represents a major advancement in streamlining robotic inspection workflows for welding, gluing, and surface processing applications for manufacturers worldwide.
Analyzing workpiece geometries, planning the scanning processes, and creating tool-paths are often a bottleneck in applications that involve robotic inspection of weld, seams, and surfaces. These steps might take significant time increasing both the time-to-market and the inspection costs. By eliminating the need for manual analysis and tool-path creation, TPGen enables manufacturers to reduce analysis and programming time, cut operational costs and overhead, lower energy consumption, and shorten time-to-market. The TPGen solution runs on top of Wandelbots’ NOVA platform, offering an app for seamless and highly automated feasibility analysis, tool-path generation, and trajectory execution.
“TPGen represents a major shift in how manufacturers approach robot programming for inspection use cases,” said Ilya Katsov, CTO, Americas for Grid Dynamics. “By automatically creating and optimizing tool-paths from CAD models and enabling truly automated workflows, we’re helping our clients reduce analysis time from weeks to minutes while significantly lowering operational costs and energy consumption.”
“Wandelbots empowers partners and customers to transform robotic automation into intelligent, reusable, and scalable solutions,” said Katharina Jessa, Chief Revenue Officer at Wandelbots. “TPGen by Grid Dynamics is a compelling example of what becomes possible with our platform — automating robot path planning for complex inspection tasks, drastically reducing engineering time and enabling flexible deployment across robot brands. It reflects the power of software-first innovation in solving high-impact industrial challenges.”
