The Impact of Automation in Painting Furniture Parts

Abstract

Technology and Woodwork industries have been going through a phase of perfection over a period of hundred years, up until today, the wood work traditions are still exist and improving with the help of modern technology. Looking at history and current studies with regards to production of furniture, many factories are producing millions of chairs for entire continents and to maintain the market lead position requires a lot of human dedication and intelligent investments in technology. Using automation in painting means to automatically control the process including industrial machines like robots, conveyors and others which save time, money and also reduce human efforts. Most automation companies are specialized in industrial automation, industrial robots, communications, electronics, and software for developing complex projects to automate desirable task by integrating robots. This study is purposefully conducted to shed more light on the benefits or impacts of automation in painting furniture parts. One of the benefits that most of companies gain from automating the painting process with robots is the productivity growth. The recruitment process for specialized personnel in the painting processes has also been greatly simplified due to the fact that the robots have taken over the difficult’ tasks and protection from areas with high risk inhalation of harmful substances is assured. In this research, Automation is shown to be efficient and effective in the painting system by reviewing different studies. Automated dyeing processes in factories have made progress due to the successful results achieved by automated painting robots. In that regard, the impact of automation in painting furniture parts is evident in the production of fitments that are in almost every home through the solutions offered by automation to the consumer.
