Abstract
Today’s markets and economies are becoming increasingly volatile, unpredictable, they are changing radically and even the innovation speed is accelerating. Manufacturing and production technology and systems must keep pace with this trend. The impact of novel innovative 3D imaging technology to counter these radical changes is exemplarily shown on the robot paint process. One has to keep in mind that investments in automatic painting lines are considerably high and as the painting line often is the bottleneck in production, it is imperative to prevent nonproductive times and maximize the use of the expensive equipment. Highly flexible, scalable and user-friendly production equipment is needed, including robotic systems for painting – a common process in production.
