Automatic system for detecting defects on the painted surface and their categorization to allow both their direct restoration and preventive actions on the systems upstream of the painting process.

Benefits

• Defect detection directly on the line.
• Use of multiple technologies with 2D and 3D cameras.
• Trajectory optimized according to the body.
• Detection of the defect’s actual size.
• Optimal camera orientation and lighting system for the inspected surface.
• Management of defect information.
• Easy maintenance.
• Categorization of the defect thanks to deep learning algorithms based on the know-how of quality operators.

J-Rover is the new concept of body handling within the paintshop on independent shuttles. It allows creating systems with flexible layouts that are easily modifiable, thus allowing a production concept with highly flexible cells customized according to the product.

Benefits

• High modularity.
• High flexibility: freedom of movement.
• Easy maintenance – easy cleaning.
• Use of standard plug-and-play components.
• Simplicity of layout development.
• Simplicity of changing the layout in existing systems (brownfield).

The wireless geolocation system allows rapid localization of the bodies and related feedback within the paintshop.

Benefits

• Continuous exchange of information with bodies in critical areas of the paintshop.
• Reduction of intervention times.
• Rapid implementation of modular production variations.

This is Geico proprietary software designed for the customer to digitize documentation and simplify the consultation of all the information related to the plant to be maintained on a single platform.
By reading the Plant Breakdown Structure, the process tags, and P&I, the program makes it possible to easily obtain all the information relating to the plant part or equipment directly in the field.
The reading of the main information relating to a particular piece of equipment mounted on the plant is done thanks to an infrared tablet included in the package that reads the barcode on the equipment itself.

Benefit

• Centralized digital documentation management.

Live image recognition consists of remote viewing tools that, thanks to advanced AI algorithms, allow the detection of anomalies and the verification of process settings. High-resolution cameras observe areas and equipment while artificial intelligence interprets the feed to identify anomalies and alert operators via messages.

Benefits

• Possibility to make unconnected equipment smart.
• Rapid, real-time verification of equipment operation.
• Verification of dimensions and transits through image analysis.
• Safe management of high-risk areas.

Software that allows analyzing the energy consumption of the paintshop and identifying the mix of alternative renewable energy sources best suited for a given plant in a given production site.

Benefits

• Detailed analysis of energy needs and consumption.
• Monitoring of the impact of changes.
• Minimization of the energy capacity required.
• Optimization of energy distribution.

Systematic, documented, and periodic assessment of the paintshop’s energy efficiency.

Benefits

• Classification of the paintshop in terms of energy.
• Comparison with the “state-of-the-art” plant under equal production and climatic conditions.
• Evaluation of achievable improvements in terms of plant and organization.
• Simulation of consumption after feasible interventions.

A detailed analysis of the plant – consumption by area, production conditions, energy sources and climatic conditions – allows the plant to be classified in terms of kWh/body produced and liquid discharges, solid waste, and water consumption. A special classification that we have called EII (Energy Impact Index) allows you to understand where you are on the scale.

Benefit

• Assessment of room for improvement.

Retrofitting of existing plants to improve classification in terms of eco-sustainability, starting from an analysis of the existing situation, a comparison with the current state of the art, a simulation of the benefits and payback of possible interventions, an evaluation of the feasibility, and the cost of any modifications.

Energy consumption management software for energy vectors of the various production lines.

Benefits

• Consumption monitoring.
• Reports of anomalies in energy demands.
• Continuous comparison between expected consumption and actual consumption.
• Instantaneous and cumulative indications of management costs.
• Possible implementation on each hardware platform.

Benefit from elaborate shop floor integration, manage production orders, quality operations as well as preventive and predictive maintenance.

Benefits

• Order and material management.
• Integration into the ERP system.
• Production scheduling.
• Energy consumption monitoring.
• Quality process management.
• Personnel skills management.
• Maintenance management.
• Predictive maintenance.

Platform for creating new applications or using existing ones to get the best from the data that the Industrial Internet of Things provides to the paintshop.

Benefits

• Open platform.
• Numerous APIs to develop personalized solutions for the paintshop.
• Ready-to-use applications.
