Product Details

Revolutionary software co-developed by AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings business and coatingAI is using artificial intelligence to help customers improve the application process and reduce their carbon footprint.

The industry-first technology, called Flightpath, optimizes equipment settings to reduce defects and overspray and improve powder consumption – helping to reduce costs, avoid rework and save time and energy.

The AI-based software has been in development for two years and an exclusivity agreement has just been signed by both parties – who joined forces after first crossing paths during AkzoNobel’s Paint the Future start-up challenge in 2021.

The software enables customers to optimize equipment settings such as gun motion and achieve more uniform, consistent coverage with fewer flaws – all thanks to the AI-powered recommendations. The software doesn’t require complex integration and, as conditions change, it continually adapts its recommended parameters.
