Radii Planet Group, the global manufacturer of aluminum partitions, has become one of the first to use Flightpath Pro, a software developed by coating AI in close partnership with AkzoNobel Powder Coatings to improve an organization’s coating line performance.
Flightpath Pro helps deliver a more uniform, consistent coating in application, accommodating variabilities in spray pattern caused by distance, reciprocator speed and powder type. It allows businesses to make small, incremental improvements to its powder coating line which in turn add up to a significant competitive advantage.
In adopting Flightpath Pro, and taking advantage of the technical knowledge, service support and product knowhow of AkzoNobel’s Interpon team, Radii Planet Group has improved uniformity by a further 9.3%, and cut powder waste by more than 6.0%. It has reduced the likelihood of products needing to be reworked or rejected with the inherent benefits of improved sustainability and cost efficiency.
Radii Planet Group built its own fully automatic powder coating line in 2021 and AkzoNobel’s Interpon powder coatings feature on the majority of the 6,000 pieces the Group produces every week.
