Ten years ago, paint shop manufacturer SEHON was approached by a customer for the first time and asked to offer robotic painting for the trade, especially for body shops and paint shops.

Although painting robots were already commonplace in series automobile production at that time, it seemed impossible to develop robotics for repair painting, small series or the painting of individual parts.

This is because, compared to industry with its standardised products and processes, the challenges in the trade are fundamentally different. There are no standard products and processes, but rather an infinite variety of vehicles and components that need to be painted individually.

‘Thanks to AI, improved robot technology and paint booths specially developed for these applications, our customers now have the opportunity to use this technology,’ explains the managing partner.

Craft businesses suffer from a shortage of skilled workers, high levels of sick leave, a lack of young talent and rising costs. The new AI-supported SEHON AI-REVOLUTION generation of paint booths is one possible answer to help businesses solve these problems.

In the new SEHON paint booth, components or a vehicle are scanned completely and with high precision. The data obtained is transferred to a computer. This computer uses the data to develop commands for the painting robot and generates graphic images for the control terminal. At the control terminal, the painter decides, for example, which parts and surfaces are to be painted and triggers the fully automatic painting process.

Paint booths need to be redesigned for the use of robot technologies. ‘In the area of safety alone, for example in explosion protection, there are completely new requirements when humans work with robotics,’ says SEHON.
