Delft, the Netherlands – [28/02/2024] – Qlayers, the leading developer of robotic coating solutions for large industrial assets, is pleased to announce the European launch of its innovative 10Q robot rental program.

 

Building on the success of the 10Q robot’s commercial debut, this program offers cost-effective access to this unique technology for coating large industrial surfaces like storage tanks or vessels across the European continent.

 

The 10Q rental program provides a flexible and accessible alternative to conventional manual coating methods. Clients can rent the 10Q robot on a weekly basis, aligning rental periods with individual project durations and optimizing cost efficiency. This eliminates the need for upfront capital investment for a first field assignment, making the technology readily available to a wider range of clients.

 

 

Maximizing Efficiency, Safety and Project Success

Beyond the rental model, Qlayers offers a comprehensive support package to ensure clients can leverage the full potential of the 10Q robot.

 

This includes:

  • Operator training: Qlayers equips client personnel with the necessary skills to operate the robot safely and efficiently.
  • Field supervision: Experienced Qlayers personnel provide on-site guidance and support throughout the project.
  • Technical support: Clients have access to a dedicated technical support team for any questions or troubleshooting needs. We also provide remote support via phone and video calls.
  • Consultation: Upon receiving the project, Qlayers will collaborate with clients to provide a detailed plan for integrating the 10Q robot with the existing coating operation for optimal performance and success.
  • Method Statement: Upon receiving the project, Qlayers will work closely with the client to draft a detailed plan for execution, including an evaluation of where the robot can be applied, the selected paint with its specifications, on-site resources required, roles to be filled, and more.

 

Benefits of the 10Q robot for your coating operation:

  • Enhanced efficiency: The 10Q coating robot can reach a consistent coating speed of up to 200 m2/h, helping reduce project timelines compared to manual methods.
  • Improved safety: By cutting working hours at height up to 80%, the 10Q robot minimizes safety risks associated with elevated tasks.
  • Superior quality: Compared to traditional methods, our precision coating technology ensures superior paint quality and adherence, leading to longer-lasting coatings and potentially fewer maintenance requirements for your assets.
  • Sustainability by design: The 10Q robot’s patented spray shielding system minimizes paint waste and overspray, promoting sustainable operations at your terminals and drydocks. This translates to both environmental benefits and cost savings.

Unlocking the future of industrial coating processes

The launch of the 10Q rental program marks a significant milestone in making our innovative robotic coating solutions accessible to a broader European audience,” – says Laurens Oldenzeel – Qlayers’ Head of Projects. “We are confident that this program will empower companies to experience the numerous benefits of the 10Q robot while optimizing the economics and HSE profile of maintenance projects, especially in the context of overspray regulations getting tighter and tighter due to environmental concerns.”
