Independent carrier movement eliminates production gaps and boosts throughput across the entire paint line

One of the most valuable upgrades you can make to a paint system is switching to a variable speed system—like the one offered by IntelliFinishing. Unlike traditional setups such as monorails or power-and-free conveyors, IntelliFinishing's smart system allows each carrier to move independently and adjust its speed depending on where it is in the process.

As John Claman of IntelliFinishing explains, this flexibility allows carriers to speed up in non-process areas, helping eliminate gaps caused by product delays or issues in the booth. In traditional chain systems, such interruptions slow down the entire line. But with a variable speed system, those delays can be absorbed without compromising overall throughput.

With a variable speed system, those delays can be absorbed without compromising overall throughput.

The result is a smoother flow, more parts finished per hour, and greater productivity day-to-day. For many manufacturers, the efficiency gains can translate into hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual savings—a compelling reason to rethink legacy systems.

Hi. This is John Klayman with IntelliFinishing. What will a system that allows carriers to move at different speeds due for my paint system. A system like IntelliFinishing, where all the carriers are independent of each other, has a lot of benefits. But one of the big benefits is carriers are allowed to speed up in nonprocess areas. A traditional system like a monorail and a power and free, it's very common to see gaps on the line. Perhaps a product is causing problems in the booth, and they actually need to stop the line. Or maybe products are not arriving at the system in a smooth way, and so there's a gap because they're waiting for product to be hung on the line. These gaps in the line basically mean that production time being lost because it's a chain system, and we can help to make up those gaps. Ultimately, it means that an a telefinishing system will produce more product per hour or more product per day than a traditional system. And sometimes, the cost saved by being able to produce more throughput in less time can add up to several hundred thousand dollars per year and saved operational expense. And that's one of the best reasons to consider an telefinishing system. Thanks.
