We are honored to be recognized as one of the winners of the 2021 RBR Robotics Innovation Award.
Qlayers was selected by Robotics Business Review as one of the top 50 award honorees for the development of the 10Q coating robot, an innovative technology that automates the coating of large-scale storage tanks onsite and makes the process more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly.
RBR Robotics Innovation Award celebrates forward-thinking organizations and their original, impactful creations.
“For the robotics sector, the role, importance, and impact of innovation has never been greater”
said Dan Kara, vice president of robotics at WTWH Media, which publishes Robotics Business Review.
“With this year’s RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards, Robotics Business Review highlights those critical innovations, and the organizations responsible for them, that will spur the development of new robotics solutions and drive robotics adoption forward.”
According to the publication’s award analysis:
“ When it comes to maintaining and protecting steel surfaces against corrosion, precision and coating quality are essential. Current manual application methods, such as spray coating or application by rollers, have shown many drawbacks as they are laborious, time-consuming and hazardous for people and the environment. Long-term exposure to chemicals found in anti-corrosion coatings can cause chronic health issues due to the paint toxicity.
The 10Q robot from Qlayers is an innovative solution that transforms the traditional method of coating large-scale industrial surfaces into a fully controlled, efficient, and safe process.” – Steve Crowe – Robotics Business Review
Last year, the 10Q team has made such incredible progress with optimizing the system and carry out multiple test pilots.
Currently, the team is manufacturing three 10Q systems which soon will be deployed in upcoming coating projects worldwide.
