Axalta taps into AI to improve bodyshop efficiency
Axalta has announced a new partnership that can improve bodyshop efficiency by using AI to streamline workflows and reduce repair times.
It has partnered with aspaara, an AI optimisation solution for bodyshops, to provide its customers with a complementary, on-demand solution that integrates with bodyshop management systems and adapts to their needs in real time.
Once integrated, aspaara works by creating an exact digital replica of a bodyshop. It then walks through more than 5,000 dynamic simulations per week to create a predictive modelling platform able to adapt in real-time and increase throughput by up to 16%.
It supports every step of the refinish process, resulting in shorter repair times, increased on-time deliveries, and higher utilisation for both paint booths and technicians.
Revolutionary partnership
Fabien Boschetti, vice president of sales for Axalta Refinish in EMEA, said: “This exciting addition to Axalta’s services portfolio reinforces our commitment to be a true business partner for our customers and meet their needs head on.
“As one of the first in the market to see the benefits behind digital tools for colour retrieval and our pioneering efforts with fully automated mixing machines, we believe that leveraging AI is a natural next step to provide solutions for our customers.
“Through this revolutionary partnership, Axalta provides bodyshops with cutting-edge tools to reduce throughput times and optimise talent workload while eliminating guesswork with intelligent, forward-thinking planning. Together we’re redefining efficiency and performance in the modern bodyshop.”
