Technology has changed how you choose your home’s paint colours

Some crazy disruptions are happening in the paint space that I wasn’t even aware of!

Technology has changed how you choose your home’s paint colours.

I recently went to this hardware store and saw this machine dispensing paint, so I fell down the rabbit hole trying to find out more:

A decade ago, paint mixing was a labour-intensive and error-prone process.

Painters manually measured and mixed colours, resulting in:

1) Inconsistent color matching
2) Time-consuming process
3) Excess paint waste

Enters a new ‘Paint Mixing Automation’ technology that eliminates all the problems simultaneously:

1) Mixes paint quickly
2) Operated via a smartphone/computer
3) The painter will not smell like ten different paints 🙂

Asian Paints has also invested in AI-driven technologies to improve efficiency & customer experience.

This has helped them optimize paint mixing, packaging, and labelling, which are critical for maintaining consistency & quality.

It’s incredible that painters who used to be covered in paint can now listen to their favourite music on their phones while technology plays a part in their work!

The next time you think you’ve reached the ceiling for innovation, think twice!

If folks working in the paint space can innovate, so can you!
