2025 Online DOE Summit: Definitive screening designs in the creation of robotic coating application for vehicle refinishes


presented by Niels Dekker

In the vehicle refinishes business it is crucial that the color of the repair paint matches the vehicle that is up for repair in the bodyshop. AkzoNobel has several processes for the bodyshops to ensure this is achieved independent of the car that enters the repair process. One of the aspects of this process is the ability to internally apply coatings in a fast and efficient way using robots. Before this can be done, the robot application needs to match the manual application as executed in the bodyshop. In this talk, I will discuss and show how definitive screening designs add value to this process.
