一、Characteristics and Needs in the Development of the Automotive Paint Industry

Automotive painting is a crucial part of the automobile production process, affecting not only the vehicle's appearance but also its corrosion resistance and durability. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, consumer demands for paint quality have become increasingly stringent. Modern automotive painting processes need to balance high efficiency, high quality, and environmental protection. Consequently, the development of the automotive painting industry exhibits the following characteristics:

1. High-efficiency Automation: Traditional manual painting can no longer meet the demands of large-scale production, making automated painting equipment the mainstream choice.
2. Refined Management: To ensure the quality of paint on every vehicle, refined management and real-time monitoring are becoming increasingly important.
3. Environmental Requirements: With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, low-pollution, low-energy-consumption painting processes and equipment are the direction for industry development.
4. Drawbacks of Manual Visual Inspection: Traditional manual visual inspection has many drawbacks, such as low efficiency, susceptibility to fatigue and subjective errors, and inability to operate around the clock. These drawbacks make automated and intelligent visual inspection systems an urgent need.
