Correct surface preparation is one of the key factors affecting the durability of paint and protective coatings. Measuring the level of dust on steel surfaces before painting helps determine whether additional cleaning and preparation are required.
In today’s fast-paced world, logistics and warehousing have become critical success factors for businesses. Companies aim to maximize storage efficiency, speed up order picking, and reduce operating costs.
The research and production firm TECHWAGONMASH has designed and manufactured equipment for a pipe finishing line.

There is a persistent stereotype in the post-Soviet machine-building industry that industrial robots are expensive equipment that requires highly professional personnel and that it is rational to use them in mass or high-volume production. This myth is based on some factors listed below.
Since 2016, Interpipe has been producing railway wheels and wheelsets for high-speed trains with higher added value. This type of product is in demand in the transportation infrastructure of European and American countries, which was the reason for the company to make large investments in launching several new production sites, including the creation of sites that ensure the application of operational and anticorrosion coatings on the manufactured railway wheels.
