Axalta: AI planning solution for body and paint stores

As part of Axalta's growing Drivus portfolio, Aspaara enables customers to refine workflows, reduce bottlenecks and increase throughput with more efficient scheduling - without the need for additional staff or more effort. The partnership builds on Axalta's industry-leading products, tools and support, providing customers with an on-demand, complementary solution that seamlessly integrates with existing bodyshop and paint store management systems and adapts to their needs in real time. With the help of Aspaara AI, Axalta customers now have access to a unique digital tool specifically designed to optimize workflows and improve overall performance in the automotive refinish industry.

AI assistant supports the painting process

Once Aspaara is integrated, the system produces a precise digital replica of the bodyshop. Over 5,000 dynamic simulations are carried out every week. This creates a forecasting model platform that can adapt in real time and increase throughput by up to 16 percent, according to the manufacturer. In its function as a personal AI assistant, Aspaara is able to support every single step in the painting process. The result is shorter repair times, more punctual deliveries and higher utilization of spray booths and employees. The addition of this unique service offering to the Axalta Drivus portfolio gives plant managers and bodyshop owners access to a powerful tool. It helps them stay on top of things and ahead of schedule. At the same time, they have the flexibility to accept, adjust or block recommendations. Thanks to consistently optimized workflows, Aspaara users can reduce their planning effort by up to 75 percent and achieve a return on investment (ROI) in just two months.
