What is a Recipe-Based Finishing System?
There is no longer a need for batching your whole line with like parts to get quality.

A “Chainless” Power & Free Conveyor?
The separate motors also turn off and on the individual conveyor sections when there is a part present making this system more energy efficient because the full system isn’t always running, only the process areas being used at the given time.
Part I: Changing the “Game”! – Improving Paint System Design
Once you understand the IntelliFinishing system, it will shatter your preconceived notions and known limitations of what a paint finishing system has been.
Part II: Changing the “Game”! – Improving Paint System Design
Imagine if you could only drive your vehicle in the forward direction, at one speed which is based on the vehicle driving in front of you…this scenario limits your abilities to get where you want to go. So why have a finishing system with that same limitation?
A Plan for Every Part

Part II: Safety–Not an Afterthought
Another challenge at the top of our customer’s needs was creating a safe work environment. With their existing manual system, the physical demand on the operators of lifting and loading parts through the various processes was excessive. The existing system was also very loud and difficult to keep clean with the several open-faced paint booths used to coat their parts.
Part III: The Lights are On, But No One is Home
The third goal for our customer was to reduce energy consumption and eliminate waste as much as possible. This makes sense, as energy rates continue to rise and the emphasis on lean and green continues to grow.
Part IV: Detailed Recipes Make More than Grandma’s Brownies
The final major challenge presented to us by our customer was the desire to integrate technology and traceability into the new paint system. The parts being produced at their facility often ended up in military applications, so the more data they could track, the tighter their process controls – and thus quality – could be.
