Digital Colour Transition: Embracing Digitization Prior to Artificial Intelligence
Sehon's Digital Revolution in the K&L Industry
Sehon, a renowned Swabian painting equipment manufacturer, is leading the charge in digitalization within the K&L industry. For years, the company has been prioritizing digitalization to optimize processes, products, and services.
Their latest offerings include the SE-Oecoplus NT digital system and the SE-Oecotop aggregate technology, both designed for sustainable painting and drying. These intelligent digital systems enable energy control, reducing energy consumption by up to 20% during standby.
In the realm of vehicle repair, Sehon presents Cameleon, a comprehensive program for the safe repair of damaged electric vehicles. Cameleon emphasizes digitization in workshop equipment, offering advantages over standard workshop equipment in complex tasks. It includes 24/7 measurement of gases, dust, smoke, and pollutant concentration at workplaces, as well as a mobile safety system for continuous monitoring of battery temperature during vehicle repairs.
Sehon's energy management system (EMS) integrates and interacts seamlessly with renewable energies like photovoltaics, geothermal power, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, and heat pumps. The EMS allows for direct and rapid control, monitoring, and documentation of all energy-relevant parameters, functions, and consumption of the entire operation.
The EMS is designed to consider the specific energy requirements of a painting operation, taking into account daily and seasonal fluctuations in energy demand. This ensures that energy is used efficiently and sustainably.
Sehon's painting equipment is equipped with an intuitive touch panel, allowing for direct control, monitoring, and documentation of important parameters. In case of a system failure, the online service provides immediate help and support from the manufacturer.
When it comes to AI, Sehon's CEO, Tiemo Sehon, sees value only when it creates real added value. AI projects are being pursued by Sehon, but they require significant time and money for development.
One such AI project is DigitStore, which offers professional and cost-saving management of small parts and consumables in a K&L operation. With 24/7 material access and extensive administrative possibilities, DigitStore can reduce consumption by 25 to 30 percent through fully automatically controlled material dispensing when used correctly.
Sehon's digital plant technology offers advantages over standard workshop equipment in complex tasks. This is particularly evident in the SE-Control fully automatic air pressure regulation system, which ensures consistent painting quality across different operating modes, and in the Cameleon's dust, smoke, and gas extraction with filter status monitoring, display, and warning system.
In summary, Sehon is revolutionizing the K&L industry with its focus on digitalization. Their innovative solutions not only optimize processes and reduce costs but also prioritize safety and sustainability, making them a key player in the industry's digital future.
