New PPG paint mixing system for Mexico
PPG announced the launch of its “Moonwalk” automated paint mixing system in Mexico. The system offers significant benefits, improving quality and efficiency, saving time and labor costs and reducing material waste.
“The PPG MoonWalk automated system allows body shops improve productivity, helping to address labor challenges and, at the same time, ensuring unmatched accuracy in each mix”, said Juan Pablo Reyes, PPG senior manager in Mexico.
This unmatched precision in each mix improves the quality and consistency and enhances the work experience of the technicians. The system also contributes to reducing waste, leading to a more sustainable work environment, and, due to its compact size, fits into any paint room, keeping the space clean and free of splashes.
“This technology guarantees accurate storage and dispensing, with 80 storage spaces for inks and 13 positions in the dispensing rack,” Reyes said. “Automating the paint mixing process eliminates the risk of human error, ensuring accuracy in every mix and contributing to a more efficient process that accelerates shop productivity. This significantly minimizes labor time and costs, resulting in increased revenue for the business.”
In addition, the new system offers a complete package of solutions with the “PPG Touchmix” Express touchscreen and “Paintmanager XI”color management software, which allows barcode verification, automatic dispensing of the correct amount of product, and label printing, providing a complete tool for paint shops. Mexico is the third market to receive the technology in Latin America after Brazil and Colombia.
