MovixTech CEO Marina Domracheva sat down with Sergei Azernikov, PhD — SVP Software Development at Glidewell, and the AI leader behind their automation — for a new episode of Dental Tech Now.
Glidewell runs one of the most advanced digital factories in the industry. Talking to the person who built that made this a deep conversation, not a surface-level one.
The conversation covered the thing lab owners should be watching right now: the AI employee. Not a feature. Not software. A new category — and it does two things at once that usually trade off against each other: it scales manufacturing and raises product quality, at the same time.
An AI employee runs 24/7, cuts labor by roughly 50%, and holds the quality bar steady across every single case. That means less scrap, faster turnaround, and a bigger number where a buyer looks first: EBITDA. Done right, this can add roughly 3–4 turns to the multiple before a sale.
MovixTech is building digital employees for dental labs — the goal is what the company calls the Autonomous Dental Laboratory. MovixTech is first to market with an AI employee, and this conversation shows what that actually looks like inside a real, high-volume manufacturing process: better product, a better experience for doctors and patients, and a better P&L.
