The intelligent operating
system for paint robotics.
Hardware sprays; software decides. PaintForge is building the layer that programs, monitors, optimizes, and reports on a painting fleet — turning individual robots into one connected, accountable system. It is designed to ship with every RaaS deployment.
Capabilities below are the platform roadmap. Pilot partners help decide what ships first.
The intelligent OS that programs, monitors, and optimizes the fleet.
You are hereOne platform, two halves — designed to be deployed together.
A great arm with no brain is just expensive.
Robots become islands — each cell programmed on its own pendant, with no shared view.
One control plane orchestrates a mixed-vendor fleet as a single system.
Reprogramming for a new part halts production and needs a specialist on the floor.
Offline, AI-assisted path planning previews coverage before a robot moves.
Quality is judged by eye; defects surface downstream after cost is sunk.
AI vision inspection flags runs, sags, and holidays per part, with a pass/fail record.
Maintenance is reactive; an unplanned stop takes the whole booth down.
Predictive analytics trend wear and consumption to schedule service before failure.
Watch the platform run a spray path.
The software plans the passes and holds film thickness to target while reporting coverage in real time. Open the machine up: cutaway, exploded, slow-motion internals. Drag to orbit; scroll to zoom.
The same plan, at full mechanical fidelity.
Launch the Godot-powered Pro Simulator to inspect every actuator, gear, and paint-delivery detail while the platform runs a realistic coverage path. Your current job settings carry over.
Pro Simulator is in active development — the web preview above shows what ships first.
Drive any of the five, live.
Select a robot to load its class-accurate build and watch the platform run a coat on it. Launch any machine into the full-fidelity Pro Simulator.

Concept simulation. Each robot is a distinct, class-accurate build — its own base, proportions, wrist, and applicator matching that machine’s real configuration. These are stylized representations, not authorized vendor models, not a specific product, and not a live robot feed. Specs are from each manufacturer’s public documentation.
Everything a paint fleet needs to run itself — accountably.
AI-assisted programming
No-code recipes to expert offline programming, with coverage and overspray prediction before spraying.
Mixed-fleet orchestration
One plane to schedule and monitor robots from different vendors as a single fleet.
Monitoring & digital twin
Live pressure, flow, film thickness, temp, humidity — mirrored to a twin for playback and what-if planning.
AI vision inspection
Camera-based defect detection with a per-part pass/fail record.
Predictive maintenance
Trend wear, pump cycles, and consumption to flag service — plus OEE and traceability.
Recipe management
Versioned coating recipes with rollback, reproducible across shifts and sites.
MES / ERP / SCADA
Open interfaces — OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET — to fit existing plant systems.
Security, edge + cloud
Edge buffering keeps a booth running if the link drops; role-based access and audit logging by design.
From robot controller to cloud, one accountable path.
Serious paint automation lives or dies on integration. This is the layered architecture PaintForge is building — a vendor-neutral orchestration layer above each robot’s native controller and below the analytics operators actually use.
- Layer 5Dashboards & AI
Fleet view, digital-twin playback, defect review, consumption & OEE analytics, alerts.
- Layer 4Cloud Platform
Multi-site data store, recipe/version management, model training for vision & predictive maintenance.
- Layer 3PaintForge Orchestration Layer
Vendor-neutral job model, path scheduling, telemetry normalization, role-based access.
- Layer 2Middleware / Vendor SDK / Fieldbus
ROS 2 or vendor APIs; OPC-UA, MQTT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT bridges to line & paint controllers.
- Layer 1Robot Controller (per vendor)
ABB IRC5P · FANUC R-30iB Plus · Yaskawa DX200-FM · Kawasaki · KUKA KR C4 + Dürr EcoAUC.
Bidirectional: job programs and recipes flow down; telemetry, images, and status flow up. Edge buffering keeps a booth running if the cloud link drops. This is the target architecture PaintForge is building toward — not a shipped, certified deployment.
Built to speak every controller’s language.
The platform’s job model is vendor-neutral by design. Here is what it is intended to add on each professional paint platform in the market.
These are third-party industrial robots from ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa, Kawasaki, and KUKA/Dürr, shown to illustrate the professional painting-robot category. PaintForge is a pre-launch company, is not affiliated with or an authorized distributor of these manufacturers, and does not currently offer them for rent or sale. Specifications are from each manufacturer's public documentation.
Normalize its IRC5P job and consumption data into one fleet view alongside every other vendor.
Version-control offline-generated paths and A/B-compare them centrally instead of on the pendant.
Its open fieldbus is a clean tap point for live process telemetry into cloud analytics.
Feed its reject/defect capture into the same quality dataset as every other line.
Even a packaged cell benefits from centralized recipe management and consumption tracking once several are deployed.
The platform is included with every RaaS deployment.
There is a clear upgrade path from RaaS-only to the full hardware-plus-software system. Planned pricing lives on the pricing page.
Robots, or the whole system.
You can start with robots on a service model. The platform is what turns a fleet into an accountable, optimizing system — and it is designed to ship with every deployment.
“Planned” items are on the platform roadmap; pilot partners help decide what ships first.
Software needs robots to run on.
This platform is designed to deploy on the PaintForge RaaS fleet — professional painting robotics with no capital expense. The two are built to be bought together.
