Automated Paint Mixing

Leading bodyshops into a new era of refinish paint mixing

PPG’s automated paint mixing system, MoonWalk, mixes colours with an astounding level of accuracy which provides a range of benefits to businesses in the automotive refinish sector. The benefits of automating this process include saving labour time, reducing product waste and improving sustainability; all of which contribute to a more productive – and profitable - bodyshop.

MoonWalk can reduce the carbon footprint from basecoat emissions by up to 9%. More precise measuring and the elimination of human error results in reduced paint consumption and emissions and less wasted product.

Inventory

Inventory Management System

PPG’s bodyshop inventory management system, PPG Collision Services Inventory, keeps an eye on the inventory levels and maintains accurate records of what you have in stock and what has been used, maximising profits and minimising losses. Having too much stock can lead to unnecessary costs and even potential wastage due to expiration dates. Additionally, it requires extra space to store the items, as well as more time and effort spent on tracking and managing them.

Reducing product wastage and enhancing ordering and stock management all support in making your Bodyshop more sustainable. By utilising electronic ordering, businesses' can reduce their overall energy consumption, waste production and carbon footprint, as well as save on storage costs.
