The PPG MOONWALK system is an automated refinish paint mixing system that saves labor time, reduces waste, and transforms the refinish mixing room into a clean and safe environment. Paint technicians and bodyshop managers benefit from the extreme accuracy coming from the automation of the mixing process, improving speed, quality and color consistency.
• The PPG MoonWalk system sets a new standard in refinish paint mixing, removing the key pain points of users during the paint mixing process.
• It minimizes material consumption and as a self-contained system, provides a clean, splash free workspace.
• The system is sized to fit all mixing rooms and features 80 storage spaces for tinters and 13 positions in the dispensing rack.
• The user loads the required tinter, additive and thinner bottles into the rack – the system checks each bottle’s barcode, automatically dispensing the correct amount of product and printing a label.
.
• The system achieves greater productivity and efficiency while also limiting the potential for human error.
• The PPG MoonWalk system has been installed at over 1,000 users around the world, including 30 countries in EMEA and all five continents.
• It has received a series of awards, including the 2020 Bodyshop Equipment of the Year award 2020 from Décision Atelier Magazine; the 2020 Technology and Innovation award from bodyshop magazine, and the 2021 Sustainable Innovation award from the British Coatings Federation.
