The Mission The EC Tech Report Automation and Digitalisation provides the reader with the basic knowledge for a quick and competent introduction to the world of automation in coatings development in the laboratory, for example with high-throughput test systems and in coating production using the example of fully automated coatings production. The focus is also on increasing efficiency in time-consuming coatings development projects as well as automation in quality control and process monitoring. Thanks to digitalisation, it is possible to optimise product processes from a large amount of data, resources can be conserved, and time-saving potential can be made visible. This enables the reader to implement specific approaches for their own production, from paint research and development through to paint production, and thus utilise the latest findings in paint development. The Audience Newcomers and career changers with a background in chemistry are given a quick introduction and overview, as well as in-depth knowledge of trending subjects in the industry. It is recommended for experts who want to keep up to date with the latest trends and be prepared for future topics. The Value The reader receives a quick and reliable overview of a trend topic, compiled by the specialist editorial team of the leading trade coatings technology magazine ECJ and is based on the latest articles. In addition, readers have access to exclusive presentations from the coatings specialist. As a service for the user: there is no need for lengthy research.
