THE FUTURE ​OF INDUSTRIAL COATING APPLICATION

10Q™ is the industry's first automated paint robot that can apply protective coating on storage tank exteriors in a fast, safe and highly efficient manner, without having any overspray. ​The 10Q robot is specifically designed to generate the most value for storage tank asset owners and coating companies by enabling them to have full control over every aspect of the automated painting process and increase the efficiency and safety of tank maintenance projects.​

​TECHNOLOGY

COATING STORAGE TANKS WITH AN AUTOMATED SOLUTION

Qlayers put years of development into the latest 10Q robot that transform the way storage tanks are coated. The robots are equipped with a patented spray shielding system that eliminates overspray during the coating application process.​

INDUSTRY PAINPOINTS

DRAWBACKS OF TRADITIONAL MANUAL COATING

All tanks, regardless of size, material or location, require good protective coating layers to prevent these expensive structures from corrosion damage.
The common manual coating methods are labour intensive, time-consuming, costly and not very efficient.  In addition, it requires painters to work at dangerous heights on suspended platforms and scaffolding that put them at great risk of falling. 

Qlayers envisions revolutionizing the coating industry by providing a high-tech innovative robotic solution to solve these drawbacks and enable coating contractors to carry out the job with higher efficiency, safety and precision.
Our innovative robotic solution improves the efficiency and productivity of maintenance projects while minimizing human and environmental risks.

SAFETY

​KEEPING EMPLOYEES OFF DANGEROUS HEIGHTS
​Safety is of paramount importance for the coating contractors working on industrial sites due to the dangerous nature of the job. Coating enormous assets such as storage tanks with conventional methods require people working at dangerous heights, on suspended platforms or scaffolding. This working condition puts the coating personnel at great risk of falling that can lead to injuries or fatalities. ​
Picture
​Qlayers’ 10Q painting robots can be operated from a safe distance on the ground by using a user-friendly controller module and the touch of a button. This will reduce the number of working hours at heights by up to 80%.

ENVIRONMENT

​ELIMINATING OVERSPRAY

During spray coating, up to half of the paint is released into the environment. Long term exposure to paint fumes and VOCs that are found in anti-corrosion coatings can cause chronic health issues due to the paint toxicity and consequently, work absence due to illnesses. In addition, the paint particles also land on the surrounding infrastructures, plants, and assets (such as windows, buildings, cars, trees, etc.) and cause some damages.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

OPTIMIZATION AND TEST PILOTS

​​In late 2019, Qlayers started with the concept development of the 10Q painting robot which aims to automate the process of coating storage tanks.  Since then the robot has been optimized and deployed in several full-scale field tests at renowned oil- and tank storage majors in the port of Rotterdam. ​

​PROJECTS

10Q ROBOTS IN ACTION

​Since 2020, the 10Q robots have been deployed in multiple  local and international coating projects in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. ​

​Qlayers is scaling up beyond the European market and we are ready to collaborate with coating contractors and asset owners worldwide to help them take their coating projects to the next level.
