PaintJet

PaintJet is a robotics and materials science company that provides autonomous systems for industrial painting, designed to improve precision and efficiency on large-scale projects. The company’s flagship Bravo robot is mounted to common aerial lifts and uses predictive imaging to scan and spray large surfaces box by box—painting warehouses, marine vessels, and wind turbines up to 14x faster than manual crews. Paired with PaintJet’s proprietary coating technology and AI software, the robot minimizes overspray, uses 25% less paint, and ensures a flawless finish that extends the maintenance cycle and reduces overall operating costs. With drones for surface inspection and pre-treatment capabilities like washing and sanding, PaintJet offers a true end-to-end robotic painting service.

Rather than selling or leasing its robots, PaintJet operates under a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. Customers pay for full-service painting, which includes robotic equipment, proprietary paint, remote operation by trained technicians, predictive imaging analysis, and ongoing maintenance. This pricing model eliminates upfront capital investment for customers while guaranteeing a higher-quality, longer-lasting finish backed by a five-year warranty. PaintJet manages every stage of the job—from inspection and planning to application and reporting—ensuring consistency, safety, and ROI without requiring customers to manage or maintain any of the technology themselves.

“We’re not just automating a process; we’re fundamentally changing the economics and execution of industrial painting,” says Kristopher Goins, CEO of PaintJet. “With our Robots-as-a-Service model, customers gain access to cutting-edge robotics without the burden of ownership. Powered by AI and advanced vision systems, our technology doesn’t just paint; it inspects surfaces in real time, identifying defects and inconsistencies before they become costly problems. This early detection streamlines construction workflows, reduces rework, and improves overall quality. We remove traditional barriers such as capital expense, labor shortages, and safety risks so our partners can focus on progress, while we deliver a faster, safer, smarter solution.”
