Intelligent Technologies for Smarter Stone Processing

Our team integrates AI algorithms, industrial vision, IoT sensing, and intelligent control technologies into stone processing equipment. These technologies enable machines to analyze operating conditions, optimize processing parameters, improve material utilization, and support more efficient automated production.

Intelligent Sawing System
Intelligent Sawing System
STONEX integrates self-developed intelligent algorithms into machine control systems to analyze stone characteristics and real-time cutting conditions. The system automatically adjusts key processing parameters, including feed speed, spindle speed, and water pressure, helping maintain stable cutting performance and reduce manual intervention across granite, quartz, porcelain slabs, and other stone applications.
Applied to:
  • Bridge Saws
  • Waterjet Machines
  • Multi-Wire Saws
Overhead AI Vision Scanning
Overhead AI Vision Scanning
Overhead industrial cameras capture slab patterns, surface conditions, and dimensional data before processing. The system supports vein matching, defect recognition, and CNC path optimization, helping manufacturers maximize material utilization and achieve better visual results for countertops and architectural stone projects.
Applied to:
  • Slab Processing Lines
  • CNC Fabrication Systems
IoT Sensor & Adaptive Control
IoT Sensor & Adaptive Control
IoT sensors and adaptive control systems monitor key operating conditions, including vibration, temperature, and machine load. By analyzing production data, the system helps optimize processing parameters, improve tool utilization, maintain stable operation, and reduce unexpected downtime during continuous production.
Applied to:
  • Multi-Wire Saws
  • CNC Profiling Machines
Intelligent Nesting & Material Optimization
Intelligent Nesting & Material Optimization
Before production, the system analyzes stone blocks, slab dimensions, part requirements, and project data to generate optimized cutting layouts. It helps reduce material waste and improve utilization efficiency, especially for high-value materials and customized stone projects.
Applied to:
  • CNC Fabrication Systems
  • Custom Stone Projects
AI Vision Quality Inspection
AI Vision Quality Inspection
Maintaining consistent quality across large-scale stone production can be challenging with manual inspection alone. The system scans each slab in real time to identify defects such as edge damage, color variations, and dimensional deviations, automatically separating non-conforming products before delivery. With inspection accuracy above 99%, the solution helps reduce manual lower-quality-related returns by up to 80%.
Applied to:
  • Stone Processing Lines
  • Automated Inspection Systems
Digital Twin & Predictive Maintenance
Digital Twin & Predictive Maintenance
STONEX creates a digital replica of each machine to monitor equipment health in real time. By analyzing data such as temperature, vibration, and current from key components, the system identifies abnormal trends, providing early warnings 1–2 months before potential failures. This allows maintenance teams to reduce unplanned downtime by up to 30% and extend equipment service life by up to 1.8 years.
Applied to:
  • CNC Machines
  • Multi-Wire Saws
  • Automated Equipment
