RobPainting, an integration partner in Dodewaard, Netherlands, helps small and medium enterprises (SMEs) upgrade their surface finishing. They build custom robotic cells for wet painting, powder coating, gluing, and blasting. This helps manufacturers solve severe labor shortages, lower production costs, and guarantee a perfect finish every time.
The Bottleneck
The small-batch profitability gap
Integrating a bare robot into an existing wet painting or grinding line is complex and might be risky for smaller companies without dedicated engineers.
- Time consuming coding
Traditional ABB robot programming is time-consuming. For manufacturers producing small batches, the time spent programming often costs more than the automation saves. - Staff shortage
Finding and retaining robot programmers to manage constant product changes is expensive. Especially with the shortage of skilled labour. - Costly downtime
Building and testing new robots directly on the factory floor forces production to stop entirely.
The Solution
Two experts, one seamless workflow
Integrating a bare robot into an existing wet painting or powder coating line is complex and might be risky for SMEs without dedicated engineering departments.
- End-to-end integration
RobPainting handles everything from the first idea to a final 2K installation. They integrate the automated spray systems smoothly into clients’ existing factory layout. - No-code robot programming
By pairing their ABB robots with the RoboTwin tracking device, the painters can program robots without the dependancy on specialists. - Upskilled workforce
Clients of RobPainting now do not rely on robot programmers only. Their current painters perform the motion, and our software generates a robot program. - Pre-delivery validation and training
RobPainting builds and tests the entire cell at their facility first. Their clients’ operators train on the actual machine before it arrives on the factory floor, ensuring zero factory downtime.
