Innovative Finishing Solutions (IFS), based in Ontario, Canada, is a premier integrator of robotic finishing technology. Leveraging an exclusive partnership with FANUC Robotics, they deliver world-class, full-turnkey automated paint lines to the automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing sectors across North America.

The Bottleneck

Obstacles for North American automation

Scaling automated finishing operations across a vast market like North America exposes the limits of traditional programming. For top-tier integrators, the time required to manually program complex trajectories slows down deployment and impacts overall project ROI. 

  • Slow system commissioning 
    Traditional methods for setting up full-turnkey paint applications require days of tedious coordinate plotting, pushing back final installation dates for end-users. 
  • Rigid production environments 
    High-performance parts in aerospace and custom automotive lines demand frequent changeovers that traditional teach pendant programming cannot keep up with. 
  • Costly geographic scale 
    Managing complex robotic deployments across the US and Canada traditionally requires highly specialized robot programmers to travel constantly, driving up operational overhead. 

The Solution

Unleashing rapid robotization across the continent

  • Lightning-fast commissioning 
    By adopting RoboTwin’s technology, IFS drastically eliminated integration friction. The entire tracking system is essentially plug-and-play, going from out-of-the-box to fully running in about an hour. 
  • Agile FANUC integration 
    Our RoboTeach device perfectly complements IFS’s exclusive FANUC partnership, empowering their clients to bypass complex FANUC paint robot programming entirely and teach by demonstration. 
  • Hands-on local testing 
    North American manufacturers no longer have to rely on abstract ROI calculations. They can experience the speed of our no-code system directly at the IFS facility in Peterborough before bringing it to their own shop floors.
