Smart Paint Factory Alliance

We are part of the platform for the digitalized and sustainable coatings

Industry 4.0 does not stop at the coatings industry. The world of raw materials, coatings, mills, spraying equipment and coated surfaces is transformed by a “virtual” parallel world that is difficult to imagine for coatings experts: digital methods and applications such as artificial intelligence, prediction models for formulations, digital twins, product passports or an industry-wide raw materials database are changing the coatings industry for good.
