Did you know you can save up to 30% in powder costs with your existing manual or automatic system right now? LestaUSA applied new technology, Polifluid, to help existing coating systems control humidity and temperature to produce better first-pass transfer efficiency and provide a more consistent film build on parts. Polifluid, patented by Eurosider, filters standard compressed shop air to leave only Nitrogen. Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not hold moisture. When using only Nitrogen gas in a powder application, humidity can be eliminated. Polifluid technology then super chills the humidity-free Nitrogen to create a constant temperature throughout the entire powder system. Thank you to the The Powder Coating Institute (PCI), for featuring Polifluid in your Powder Coated Tough Publication. Check out page 38 for case studies on how Polifluid has saved our customers dollars to their bottom line: https://bit.ly/3SnQ6t0 LestaUSA looks forward to serving the manufacturing industry with this new technology! If you’re interested in learning more how Polifluid can help reduce costs (powder consumption), improve quality and increase production, contact us today to get the conversation started. #automation #manufacturing #robotics #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation

From our case studies and now proven solutions we use on our manufacturing floor, wood product manufacturers can finish 50% more furniture without hiring by using our self-learning robot and cart system. Lesta robots duplicate the precise movements of the painter, from gun angle to trigger pulls while in teach mode. Even the specific rotation of each part while on the cart is replicated. Repetitive tasks can now be automated, allowing employees to focus on quality and production. The system can be used with existing or new carts. If you’re looking for solutions to empower your painters, increase employee engagement and provide better quality, contact us today to see how our Lesta self-learning robots and integrated cart top system can help your paint production. https://bit.ly/3Yfq3rT #automation #manufacturing #robotics #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation #domoremakemore

Innovations are happening across the country regarding manufacturing techniques, tools and applications. The industry is evolving, and our parent company, DeGeest Corporation, has embraced these state-of-the-art technologies, including our LestaUSA robots. Once ideas, these advancements are now proven solutions we use on our manufacturing floor. We recently had the opportunity to share more about this stronger standard in the annual report published by the South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development. This article is a great overview to educate the public, future employees and other manufacturers on what happens behind the line. ”We’re proud to call South Dakota home. For almost fifty years we’ve provided A Stronger Standard. This has helped us create a very special team that is making a difference across South Dakota and beyond. As all three of our services, Steel Works, Finishing and Automation continue to grow, we are always looking for more inspiring people to join our teams!” - President of DeGeest and LestaUSA, Derek DeGeest Check out the full feature on page 20 —> https://bit.ly/4bMI0Bi #automation #manufacturing #robotics #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #strongerpeople #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation

“You’re not replacing the painter, you’re helping the painter out.” DeGeest Corporation's Finishing Team Lead, Tony Kerkhove, knows what it’s like to interact and work with robots for the first time. While Tony’s knowledge of painting spans over 20 years, when he started at DeGeest and began using Lesta robots, it was his first time working with robotic technology for painting. Tony observed many changes right away. One being the physical demands. He noticed that the robots managed most of the manual labor required of painting, resulting in a work environment that’s much easier on the body. The second change was the career impact robots provide. The common misperception is that robots replace painters. While new technology can often be perceived as a replacement, that’s not the story with the robots used at DeGeest and LestaUSA. These robots aren’t replacing the painter, they’re helping the painter out. The knowledge painters and other skilled labor have, are still vital to the line. All that institutional knowledge has immense value to these systems and organizations. Check out this episode of The Manufacturing a Stronger Standard podcast by our President, Derek DeGeest, as he interviews Finishing Team Lead, Tony Kerkhove, to discuss how self-learning robots can help painters and your business. https://spoti.fi/3W7QGxn #automation #manufacturing #robotics #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation #workforcedevelopment #fabtech #manufacturingpodcast

Did you know that the LestaUSA full-service automation team was built on the experience of our parent company, DeGeest Corporation’s robot welding program? DeGeest’s decades of experience using and installing robotic welding robots for their own production has allowed them to develop solutions, build, assemble, integrate and install painting robots for not only their our own paint line, but for general industry applications all across North America. These skills have helped us and our painting customers be able to also install welding robots to compliment their finishing automation needs. This picture is a testament to the value these robots and automation bring to manufacturing as it’s the first of three large weld cells being installed by DeGeest’s automation team over the next month. “The past four years has shown us that manufacturers are eager to integrate new technologies. Robots create a stronger standard and we’re proud to be on the front-lines helping today’s manufacturers implement innovative ways to fulfill their automation needs .” President of DeGeest and LestaUSA, Derek DeGeest #automation #manufacturing #robotics #welding #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #strongerpeople #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation

Automate repetitive tasks to elevate skills. Instead of the wear and tear on the body that comes from manual finishing, automation gives workers a chance to work with robots. Technology has moved past a want by companies to an expectation by employees. In the past, there was the belief that finishing automation only made sense for manufacturers such as automakers because a painting robot only needs to be programmed to paint a limited variety of parts. Self-learning finishing robots, on the other hand, are for high mix production. A person “teaches” the robot how to paint a part in real time. The robot records every gun angle, pre-set spray patterns, path speed, and technique. These movements and application equipment controls ultimately encompass the finisher’s knowledge, which can then be replicated as a saved program on all future parts. This allows finishers to train the robot to be an extension of themselves, including all of their legacy knowledge of the part, their equipment, system and coating being sprayed. This process empowers teams to use their application knowledge to not just get through a day to day job, but create a career in which they can improve the quality and production of the entire system. So, the next time you hear about a skills gap, it may really be a technology gap that needs to be bridged. The more you embrace it, the quicker your path to success through rising production and employee retention and engagement. Check out this podcast episode by our President, Derek DeGeest, discussing our innovative proven step by step solutions for empowering your teams with Technology to Bridge the Skills Gap in Manufacturing. https://spoti.fi/4c3VKIG #automation #manufacturing #robotics #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation #workforcedevelopment

Our President, Derek DeGeest, recently spoke at the Innovation, Workforce and Research Conference (IWRC) Dakotas Next Generation Workforce panel. This event, hosted by IEEE-USA, was full of national and state politicians, academia, and industry experts covering how to navigate and work with government agencies, workforce development and AI. Overall, it was a great opportunity to learn more about all of the government and state funding programs available for small businesses. A few key takeaways: 1. There is an entire network of local, state and government officials ready to help our country’s small businesses and entrepreneurs whether you are a startup company of one, all the way up to a large multinational company. 2. Do not try to do business alone. Use resources available or your company is at a disadvantage. 3. There is always something to learn and good people waiting to help. From our conversations, it’s evident we’re all working towards the same goal: capturing our institutional knowledge, empowering the current workforce, and successfully recruiting and retaining the next generation. On behalf of LestaUSA and our parent company, DeGeest Corporation, thank you IEEE-USA and AFRL Regional Network - Midwest for bringing this event to Sioux Falls and South Dakota. #automation #manufacturing #robotics #welding #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongercommunity #strongerproducts #strongerindustry #strongerpeople #dayonerobotics #industryrevolution #industrialcoating #industrialautomation #workforcedevelopment #iwrc
