Integrating Automation into Your Existing Paint Finishing System

How Paint Booth Designs Function for Different Industries

As manufacturers try to increase production time, ensure consistent quality, and reduce costs, paint finishing systems play a key role in improving production and facility operations. Integrating automation is a way to streamline operations, reduce manual processes, and improve your product quality and throughput. Learn why automation is a crucial element to decreasing costs and waste while improving overall operations. 

Why Bring Automation into your Paint Finishing System?
Manual paint finishing is time-consuming and can lead to inconsistent results and rework for your team. The finishing depends on the skill of your operators and rework can cause increases in labor costs Automating your process can provide: 

  • Consistent quality with precise and uniform coatings for each part or component
  • Increased throughput using robotics which enables continuous production with minimal downtime
  • Reduced labor costs with fewer manual operators
  • Improved safety for your team by reducing exposure to hazardous fumes or chemicals
  • Minimized material waste with automated systems that reclaim paint and powder coatings for reuse

What Automation Components Should You Consider? 
Deciding what components to add to your finishing system depends on the types of products and components you are finishing. If you are working with complex-shaped items, robotic paint applicators would be a good solution. If you have multiple parts moving through different stages of finishing, automated conveyors would be something to consider. If you have specific safety requirements or system timing issues, a programmable controller would be a good option. 

How do you know if Automation is Right for Your Facility?
If you have a small batch operation or high-volume facility, automation allows you to scale your finishing operations. Depending on your goals and budget, you can design a custom finishing system that is right for your facility. You can maximize your team, reduce manual processes, and improve production using automation.
