Case Study: Creative Liquid Coatings, Inc. achieves real-time paint line scheduling and greater production efficiency with DELMIAworks

Creative Liquid Coatings, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Creative Liquid Coatings, Inc., in Kendallville, Indiana, applies paint and coatings to exterior automotive parts for vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler, Ford F-150, Corvette and Mustang. The company struggled with a time-consuming, manual scheduling process for multiple paint lines, relying on whiteboards and dry-erase markers to communicate daily plans to the shop floor.

To address this, Creative Liquid collaborated with IQMS (now DELMIAWORKS) to build a Paint Line Carousel Scheduler that pulls carrier-specific data from IQMS sales and work orders, assigns jobs to specific paint lines, and displays multiple daily turns on a 55" monitor in the loading area. The application updates schedules in real time, instantly communicates changes to the production floor, and enables more cost-conscious, efficient scheduling and faster reaction to daily requirements.
