VANCOUVER, BC, December 21, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Arius Technology, the global leader in ultra-high-resolution 3D scanning and digitization of fine art, is proud to announce the launch of its next major innovation, the Arius Mobile Scanner Identik400M code named "Moneta" (after the Roman Goddess of memory), developed in collaboration with ABB Robotics, one of the world's leading robotics companies. This groundbreaking platform scans 8x faster than the previous version. The mobile scanner is mounted on an ABB GoFaTM collaborative robot arm, expanding Arius's color accurate scanning technology beyond the studio and museum environment, leveraging the robot's exceptional precision, repeatability, and compact design making it possible to safely digitize artworks, monuments, and cultural sites directly on location, from frescoes in chapels and historic interiors to large scale architectural surfaces.
Designed for mobility, precision, and conservation grade performance, Moneta allows institutions and investors to capture surface geometry and true color with extreme accuracy down to 10 microns, generating the same high-fidelity Arius Digital Master Files (ADMF™) that underpins the company's global preservation initiatives. This accelerated access to creating an ADMFTM is revolutionary in that it securely unlocks the derivative value of Art as content and solves for the biggest challenges to Web3 by providing an immutable bridge between any physical asset and a digital transaction.
"Moneta represents a major leap forward in how cultural heritage can be protected, studied, and shared," said Paul Lindahl, CEO of Arius Technology. "In collaboration with ABB Robotics, whose engineers provided exceptional technical support and onboarding expertise, we engineered a system that brings our world-class digitization capabilities directly to the artwork, no matter where it is housed. This technology ensures collections remain accessible, secure, and ready for the next era of conservation and public engagement."
The collaboration pairs Arius's color scanning system alongside ABB's GoFa collaborative robot, enabling precise, stable, and repeatable data capture in spaces that were previously inaccessible to high resolution scanning. This includes environments where only lightweight, compact, and high-accuracy robots like GoFa can operate without disturbing fragile interiors, this new flexibility opens the door to large scale digitization projects, fresco conservation, architectural heritage studies, and emergency response documentation for at-risk sites.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Arius on a project that blends innovation, cultural stewardship, and leading robotic technology," said Andrea Cassoni, Global Head of Collaborative Robots at ABB Robotics. "By combining the performance of ABB's GoFaTM collaborative robot with our expertise in programming and integration, alongside Arius's unparalleled imaging technology, we are helping transform field-based conservation and making it possible to digitally safeguard cultural treasures wherever they reside."
The Moneta initiative marks a significant step in Arius's long-term mission to provide greater accessibility to high fidelity art data. The system generates data rich files that can be used for conservation analysis, virtual research environments, museum grade textured reproductions, and secure digital storage including blockchain based asset management.
This launch builds on Arius Technology's expanding collaborations with museums and cultural institutions worldwide, providing tools that securely bridge art history, technology, and public engagement while championing accessibility.
