Presented and Sponsored by: SAMES

When consistency, efficiency, and scalability matter, relying on manual labor in finishing operations can be a costly gamble. This session explores practical ways to automate your finishing processes, especially when the human factor becomes a bottleneck.

From basic mixing automation to fully integrated finishing lines, we’ll walk through a range of solutions designed to reduce labor dependency and improve throughput. Real-world examples will showcase plural component mixing systems, flat line finishing setups, manual and powered overhead conveyor lines, stationary automatic spray guns, reciprocators, conventional robotics, and self-teaching robotic systems. Whether you’re working with liquid or powder coatings, automation is more accessible than ever—and it’s not just for large-scale operations.

Attendees will leave with actionable insights into how automation can enhance consistency, reduce waste, and future-proof their finishing operations.
