The refinish sector is constantly evolving. Those who want to keep up must be flexible and know how to manage daily challenges such as the use of space and high production volumes. Efficient solutions such as the multifunctional workplace can optimize bodywork processes auto body shop denver co

From cleaning to applying putty to IR drying and finishing – the multifunctional workstation brings together all the work processes. The multifunctional workstation can be equipped with different systems for drying and sanding and is designed so that all work done on a given vehicle can be completed without having to move it. The result is a more structured workflow.

This way, bodyshops can operate much more efficiently, especially when it comes to repairing small defects. It is not necessary to move the vehicles – an action that takes a long time – waiting periods and dead times are eliminated and it is also possible to avoid traffic jams in front of the spray booth and, therefore, to increase daily production. The multifunctional workstation is equipped with electronically operated dividers that separate the individual work areas. The areas are open on the front and can be closed manually with curtains. Inside, air extractors, trays with various tools, lighting and hydraulic lifts ensure optimal working conditions.

The multifunctional workplace is a tailor-made solution and you need to be realistic when assessing the conditions and work processes of the body shop. Those who decide to install multifunctional workstations must be prepared to change the management of processes and, in the same way, their collaborators must demonstrate that they want to adapt to new work processes. Only then will it be possible to increase efficiency with lasting results.

If these conditions are met, the multifunctional workplace can reduce working times by up to 25%. Based on the body’s production levels, the payback period is less than four years.

For the majority of bodyshops, whether large or small, the multifunctional workstation is a prerequisite for being able to optimize processes.” IR devices are largely controlled through a touchscreen. “For the majority of bodyshops, whether large or small, the multifunctional workstation is a prerequisite for being able to optimize processes.”
