Augmentus × sentenso: bringing no-code finishing to the German market

Augmentus has partnered with sentenso GmbH, a leading systems integrator for industrial surface technology, to bring no-code adaptive surface finishing automation to manufacturers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

The partnership combines sentenso's decades of expertise in industrial finishing with Augmentus' AI-driven adaptive robotics platform, accelerating deployment of robotic finishing solutions on high-mix, low-volume production lines where traditional automation has historically struggled.

Why it matters

Manufacturers in the DACH region face a perfect storm: rising labor costs, persistent operator shortages, and increasing demand for product variation. Traditional robot programming approaches require months of integration and significant programming expertise — barriers that prevent many shops from adopting automation at all.

"Rapid 3D reconstruction means we no longer need fixtures or CAD. We deploy on real parts in minutes — even across complex geometries." >— Volker Schneidau, Managing Director, sentenso GmbH

What sentenso customers gain

Augmentus' adaptive automation platform unlocks three capabilities that have been particularly valuable to sentenso's customer base:

• Fixture-free deployments. Augmentus Vision scans the as-built part, eliminating the need for precision fixturing.
• Same-day changeovers. New part variants can be scanned and processed within hours rather than days.
• Predictable quality. Closed-loop adaptation compensates for fixture drift, part variation, and tool wear during execution.

Looking ahead

The partnership covers all of sentenso's existing customer base in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with joint go-to-market activities planned for early 2026.

For manufacturers interested in evaluating Augmentus' adaptive finishing platform, sentenso will be hosting live demonstrations at their facility in southern Germany throughout Q1 2026.
