Painting Process Engineering
Planning, development and testing: your painting processes in focus
When it comes to painting, the most important success factors are sustainable, robust processes, the efficient use of materials & energy, and high quality coating results at the lowest possible cost. The key levers for influencing these factors lie in planning the paint shop and optimizing the painting process. Fraunhofer IPA can help painting companies achieve this through its expertise in automating and digitizing production processes. The aim: to secure the future viability and competitiveness of SMEs and the paint processing industry in an ever-more demanding market.
The Painting Process Engineering team plans paint shops, analyzes weak points and coating defects, prepares expert reports & technology assessments, and develops optimization concepts tailored to manufacturing environments.
The Fraunhofer IPA test laboratory also excels in sampling coated plastic components and providing approval support, as well as in developing and modernizing test methods. A particular focus is on assisting and advising companies in the automotive and consumer goods industries by providing comprehensive testing services and techniques. All relevant test procedures, standards and guidelines as well as internal test regulations and specifications are taken into account.
