In the industrial coatings industry, traditional methods have long been the standard for coating large surfaces like storage tanks. However, the rising demand for efficiency, cost control, and environmental responsibility has exposed significant limitations in manual coating processes. Scaffolding, slow speeds, and paint waste all contribute to high project costs and increased risks for workers.
The Qlayers Coating Robot is revolutionizing industrial coatings by providing a safer, faster, and more cost-effective alternative. Below is a clear comparison of traditional coating methods vs. Qlayers’ robotic coating solutions:

Why Qlayers is the Better Choice
Improved Worker Safety: Traditional methods require workers to operate at dangerous heights using scaffolding or suspended platforms. The Qlayers 10Q Robot eliminates these risks by keeping operators safely on the ground, managing the system remotely.
Faster Project Completion: While manual coating processes achieve 300-350 ft² per hour, the Qlayers 10Q Robot accelerates productivity with speeds of up to 2,150 ft² per hour. Faster coating means shorter project durations and minimized downtime.
Reduced Costs and Paint Waste: Overspray from traditional methods leads to material waste, increased costs, and environmental concerns. The Qlayers 10Q’s patented spray shielding system minimizes overspray, ensuring optimal paint transfer efficiency and substantial cost savings.
By switching to robotic coating solutions, industrial operators can achieve their safety, cost-efficiency, and sustainability goals simultaneously. Qlayers’ technology delivers unmatched performance, making it the ideal solution for large-scale coating projects.
