Mexico. PPG announced the launch of its revolutionary PPG Moonwalk automated paint mixing system in Mexico.
According to the company, the system offers significant benefits for automotive refinishing, improving quality and efficiency, saving time and labor costs, and reducing material waste.
"Historically, the process of color mixing in vehicle refinishing has been laborious and detailed, requiring precision and time," said Juan Pablo Reyes, PPG senior manager, Mexico, Automotive Refinish.
"The PPG MoonWalk automated system enables shops to improve productivity, helping to address labor challenges while ensuring unmatched accuracy in every mix."
This unmatched precision in each mix improves the quality and consistency of the finish and enhances the work experience of technicians. The PPG MoonWalk system also contributes to reducing waste, leading to a more sustainable work environment, and due to its compact size, it fits in any paint room, keeping the space clean and splash-free.
"This technology ensures 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, ensures accuracy in every mix, and contributes to a more efficient process that accelerates shop floor productivity. This significantly minimizes time and labor costs, resulting in increased revenue for the business."
In addition, the PPG MoonWalk system offers a complete package of solutions with the PPG TOUCHMIX® Express touchscreen and PPG PAINTMANAGER® XI color management software, enabling barcode verification, automatic dispensing of the correct amount of product, and label printing, providing a complete tool for paint shops.
Mexico is the third largest market in Latin America, after Brazil and Colombia.
"Currently, more than 2,000 body shops worldwide have PPG MoonWalk systems installed," Reyes said. "The arrival of this technology in Mexico is an essential step towards the modernization of the automotive industry in the country, positioning PPG as a benchmark in the adoption of state-of-the-art technology."
