That's roughly 3.4% of global GDP lost annually to corrosion-related damage, maintenance, downtime, and asset replacement, according to NACE International.

The first line of defense is remarkably simple: protective coatings.

For decades, the coatings industry has developed increasingly advanced coating formulas designed to extend asset life and prevent failure. Yet one fundamental challenge remains:

🫟 ️ Even the best coating can only perform as well as it is applied.

That's why at Qlayers, we think it’s time to change this process. Our 𝟏𝟎𝐐𝐗 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭 brings a new level of consistency, precision, and safety to industrial coating projects.

Designed to overcome the challenges of open-air coating applications—including wind, temperature fluctuations, overspray, and safety risks.

The 10QX helps asset owners
✔️ Improve coating performance
✔️ Virtually eliminate overspray
✔️ Increased productivity
✔️ Enhanced worker safety
✔️ Reduced material waste
✔️ Lower total project costs

The future of industrial coating will be defined by technology.

By bringing robotics into the field, we're helping the industry achieve safer operations, more sustainable coating practices, and a level of consistency that was previously difficult to achieve at scale.

For decades, coating materials have continued to evolve.

Coating applications? Not so much.

Most industrial assets are still coated using methods that rely heavily on manual labor.

Yet asset owners and contractors are being asked to achieve higher quality standards, reduce downtime, improve safety, and lower environmental impact—all at the same time.

The industry can no longer afford to overlook these challenges.

Industrial coating robots are emerging as one of the most promising solutions—transforming how tanks, ship hulls, and other critical assets are maintained and protected.

They are already proving they can improve quality, reduce downtime, enhance safety, and significantly reduce waste.

But with a relatively new technology, many questions remain:

👉 What exactly is an industrial painting robot?

👉 How do robotic coating systems work? What can coating robots do and can't do?

👉 Where do robotic systems create the most value?

👉 How do different robotic systems compare?

👉 When does investing in robotic coating actually make sense?

👉 And how do you choose the right system for your operation?

To help answer these questions, we've created 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬.

Whether you're evaluating automation today or simply trying to understand where the industry is heading, this guide breaks down the technology, its applications, its limitations, and the business value it can deliver.

The question is no longer if automation will play a role in coating operations—but where it will create the greatest impact first.

As Qlayers continues to bring robotic coating solutions to industrial sites around the world, one thing becomes increasingly important: safety.

That's why achieving VCA* certification is an important milestone in our journey.

🔎 What is VCA?
VCA* SCC* 2017/6.0 (Safety, Health and Environment Checklist Contractors) is a widely recognized certification that demonstrates an organization's commitment to safe and responsible operations. It covers key areas including risk management, employee training, workplace safety, operational procedures, emergency preparedness, and continuous improvement.



Our mission is to make industrial coating work safer, smarter, and more efficient through robotics. This certification demonstrates that this commitment extends beyond our technology and into the way we work every day.

For our customers and partners, this certification reinforces what they can expect from Qlayers: innovative technology backed by the operational excellence required to work safely, efficiently, and reliably.



A big thank you to everyone across the team who made this possible👏

Last week, our latest 10QX coating robots left our facility, heading to our valued partner .

There’s something special about this moment. What began as an idea, shaped through sketches, late nights, testing, and refinement, is now ready to become part of someone else’s production story.

Very soon, these systems will be up and running—streamlining operations, improving coating quality, and enabling safety and sustainability.

We’re looking forward to seeing the results these systems will deliver in Kanoo’s operations.
