A paint booth that knows what every hour costs

A car body shop in Barcelona has its paint booth connected with coppioT. It sees the cost of fuel and electricity, per part and per hour.

A coppioT gateway on the wall beside a paint booth, wired to the booth's probes, electricity meter and gas meter. Inside the booth, a car wing waits to be painted.

What was connected
A paint booth, with our gateway: Modbus, analog inputs and a pulse counter
What it sees now
Cost of diesel or LPG and of electricity, cost per part and per hour, and its projection

The starting point

The booth uses fuel and electricity on every job, but the shop only saw the total on the bill. It did not know what painting one part cost.

What was done

The gateway was installed in the booth’s control cabinet, without redesigning it. It reads the burner, the meters and the probes, and sends the data to coppioT.

How it has helped

The shop sees on a dashboard what every hour of booth and every part costs, and the cost projection.
