Roller in Robots Hands: Future Gen of AI!
The Paint & Coating Industry is not about only Brushes! AI, artificial intelligence is now entering the race. Welcome to the age where Robots know how to paint better on the walls.
Consequently, not just a drop, a proper coat of paint. Faster, Smarter, and giving the best results. Robots adds value to your work. Companies are opting for the best technologies. Automation and application efficiency is becoming a trend.
WHAT IS AUTOMATION?
Automation is a process designed to use smart machinery, robotics and AI. Moreover, Data analytics to streamline production, packaging and color formulations falls under this.
Trends in Automation are focusing on AI assisted color matching techniques. The robotic spray systems and IoT driven production lines. In addition to this, Digital twin simulations mean optimising performance before real-world use.
COMPANIES PLAYING IN THIS: –
Asian Paints- Smart factory and AI robotics integration.
– AkzoNobel – Using digital tools for manufacturing.
– Berger Paints- Investing in AI backed and also R&D and automation labs.
– PPG Industries – advanced robotics in automation coatings.
It is crazily driving to the market impacts. CAGR for Paint Industry Automation is expected to grow at 10.2% CAGR (2024-2029). Results in 25-30% reduction in operational cost and also 20 % faster production cycles.
WHAT IS APPLICATION EFFICIENCY?
It is considered as a science of maximum coating effectiveness, and it minimises the waste. Moreover, it focuses on perfect finishes, avoiding overspray and fast drying times.
This is becoming a trend in application efficiency because of its high transfer efficiency spray guns. That is no less than a blessing for makers. The waterborne and low VOC coatings, and electrostatic painting techniques.
COMPANIES LEADING THE WAY: –
– Nippon Paint- nano tech coatings and fast dry.
– Kansai Nerolac- Sustainable efficient application production.
– Axalta Coating Systems- Optimizes spray techniques and uses it in automation and industry.
Its market impacts show the CAGR for application efficiency tech is estimated to reach 8.5% CAGR (2023-2028). Also, boost productivity by 15-20% and reduce wastage up to 40%.
