Sustainable and Precise: Energy-Efficient Coating with ACCURA Drop-on-Demand Technology In an era where sustainability and energy efficiency are key topics, IPR Robotics introduces a groundbreaking solution for precise and environmentally friendly coating with its ACCURA product family. Utilizing innovative Drop-on-Demand (DoD) technology, ACCURA revolutionizes the coating process, offering numerous benefits across various industries. PRECISION AND SUSTAINABILITY IN PERFECTION The Drop-on-Demand technology enables highly precise, contactless coating, where material droplets are only released when needed. Thanks to the ACCURA process, this results in edge-sharp coating without overspray. With a droplet output of up to 2,000 drops per second and the ability to intelligently overlay droplets with robots or gantries, sharp-edged lines are created that precisely cover the desired area. This process ensures not only optimal layer thickness but also high process safety and efficiency. VERSATILE APPLICATIONS OF ACCURA TECHNOLOGY The ACCURA technology is applied in a wide range of industries, offering tailored solutions for diverse coating requirements: Functional Coatings: Enhancing functionality and corrosion protection on battery modules and cells. Electronics: Precise application of solder pastes and protective coatings on circuit boards. Medical Devices: Biocompatible coatings that must be applied accurately and safely. Automotive Industry: Durable coatings for parts that must withstand high stresses and environmental conditions.

Regular team meetings are the core principle of successful shop floor management, where team members can discuss the most important things in a concise format. This includes an overview of open tasks and who is responsible for them, a summary of the status of work progress, and conclusions about the further course forward. In addition, the team also checks relevant key production figures or disruptions that occur in the value-added process. The aim of a shop floor meeting is to minimize information gaps and make work processes more efficient. This also reduces the stress placed on the employees because they are not constantly “putting out fires.” Instead, you can act preventively. More transparency in your processes If a conventional whiteboard stands at the center of your weekly shop floor meeting, you are probably also struggling with outdated or lost information. Thanks to our low-code software, Peakboard Designer, you can set up a customized digital dashboard for your meeting in no time and keep an eye on all of your team’s tasks at all times. To get started even faster, you can use our ready-made template to create new tasks, assign them to individual employees, and change the processing status. Whether it’s a standard monitor or a touchscreen, you can interactively update your dashboard if a process changes. Best of all, the data is also written back to the pre-configured data sources, eliminating the need for duplicate maintenance. In addition, you have the option to display other dashboard views that show relevant production information, such as safety and quality indicators, downtimes, scrap rates, cycle times, or OEE values that you can discuss at your shop floor meeting.
