Blueprint Plus: Real-Time Thickness Feedback for Precision Coating
Everything you get with Blueprint OS — plus real-time coating thickness measurement and operator-led adjustments to keep every part in specification.
What is Blueprint Plus?
Blueprint Plus builds on Blueprint OS by integrating coatmaster’s pre-cure thickness measurement technology directly into your coating process.
Operators can now:
- See real-time coating thickness for every part
- Adjust settings immediately to stay within specification
- Maintain optimal quality even as conditions change
- Reduce the need for manual sample checks and rework
It’s the perfect solution for horizontal lines that need tighter process control while keeping operators in charge of adjustments.
Who It’s For
Blueprint Plus is ideal if you:
- Already run Blueprint OS and want an extra layer of quality control and cost savings
- Produce parts with tight thickness tolerances
- Need to monitor coating quality in real time
- Want to reduce scrap, rework, and wasted powder
- Operate horizontal lines with fixed guns or reciprocators
Key Capabilities
Real-time Thickness Measurement
Measures coating thickness before curing so you can make corrections instantly — saving even more on rework and rejects.
Real-Time Operator Adjustments
Guides operators to fine-tune gun output and settings based on live data.
Shift-to-Shift Consistency
Ensures the same coating quality across all operators and shifts.
Continuous Quality Assurance
Removes guesswork by replacing periodic manual checks with continuous monitoring.
How Blueprint OS Works
Onboarding & Training
Blueprint Plus is set up on each line in just 4 hours with no downtime. Operators are trained to use Blueprint together with real-time thickness measurement from Coatmaster, plus our Continuous Improvement course for easy adoption across shifts.
Continuous Optimization with Real-Time Feedback
Operators spend about 20 minutes a week recording key inputs. Blueprint Plus combines this with live thickness data to analyze all production information and recommend the most accurate coating settings.
Closed-Loop Adjustments
Process settings are continuously updated with all measurements provided. Operators supervise the system and can approve adjustments that are sent directly to the line, ensuring higher first-pass yield, fewer rejects, and optimized powder savings.
