# Achieve consistent gelcoat application through intelligent robotics

Viam’s robotic gelcoat application system brings AI into the physical world with real-time, 3D imaging that adapts motion plans to your molds, laying an even layer of gelcoat on any fiberglass mold—no matter the shape, size, or geometry.

## The skilled labor challenge

Precise gelcoat application is universal in fiberglass boatbuilding—and it’s a highly skilled role that’s increasingly hard to staff and critical to hitting production goals.

- **0.2mm** margin of error for gelcoat sprays to avoid undercuring or cracks/defects
- **81%** of manufacturers experience plant disruptions from high turnover
- **35%** of marine professionals have considered leaving their job in the past year

## Deliver consistent quality at scale

### Increase efficiency

Move pieces through the fiberglass mold, curing, and surface preparation stages more efficiently with a flawless gelcoat base layer.

### Reduce rework

Avoid cracks, defects, and expensive rework by applying the right gelcoat thickness and coverage the first time, every time.

### Empower your workforce

Operators focus on high-value tasks (maintaining supplies, quality verification, etc.) while the robot handles the precision application.

### Scale without constraint

Your production capacity isn't limited by the availability of a few expert technicians. Intelligent automation enables consistent results across your operation.

# Consistency without compromise

Viam’s robotic gelcoat application system lays the groundwork for flawless, high-quality surfaces.
