Ball Beverage Packaging has extended the air pollution control capacity of its plant in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, by relocating an exist¬ing system from another site where it was no longer required and scaling it up with just a few new components.

Advanced Analytics is the first market-ready AI application for paint shops. The intelligent solution, which combines the latest IT technology and mechanical engineering expertise, identifies sources of defects and determines optimal maintenance schedules.

Mobile apps and other training tools are critical to ensuring on-the-job training programs are successful, empowering your frontline workers who have the biggest impact on your company's output and bottom line.

With the proper color management tools and processes in place, it is possible to achieve an appropriate balance - while also taking into consideration time, cost and quality - in consistently achieving excellent color matches.

Sasha Novakovich, President and CEO of Alchemy, a provider of chemistry acceleration software, shares her thoughts on the spike in interest in running a digital lab, and how this pandemic has shown the importance of having a robust digital infrastructure.

It's no secret that the world of STEM has been a men's club for decades, with only 28% of women making up the workforce as opposed to 72% of men. To show that this gap is slowly (but surely) closing in, we've shone the spotlight on Danijela Milosevic-Popovich, a Research and Development Manager at SIFCO Applied Surface Concepts (ASC).

X-Rite's Color iQC quality control software makes it easy to establish realistic tolerances and evalu­ate color quality. To make educated pass/fail decisions you need to know how to select the right tolerancing method and set an achievable tolerance.

Generally speaking, a vacuum mill can deliver better quality product in about the same time as a pressure mill that uses twice the amount of media, as well as produce a better-quality product in one quarter the time of a comparably media-loaded pressure mill.

Overspray-free painting technology revolutionizes this time-consuming and material-intensive process. Audi works with Dürr, who supplies the application technology.

Interfacial chemistry plays a significant role when working with coatings, specifically the surface tension (SFT) of liquids and the surface free energy (SFE) of solids. These parameters are often measured or calculated in order to optimize the adhesion properties and obtain long-lasting adhesion that will inhibit delamination and adhesion failures.
