Cryns Carrosserie Center cuts costs with Colorvation
In 2011, Johan Van Deursen bought Cryns Carrosserie Center, which at the time consisted of two bodyshops conducting vehicle repairs and refinishes in Antwerp, Belgium.
By 2016, the center had expanded and consisted of six separate bodyshops, and was part of a collaborative network of 12 new bodyshops capable of providing coverage for fleets, lease and insurance companies across Belgium.

“Cycle time is huge in our industry….knowing that when our painter uses the digital camera, that we are going to get the right color match the first time, that is huge. It saves us a ton of time and money.”

“By digitalizing color retrieval, AkzoNobel offers our clients a considerable improvement in color accuracy while reducing rework. We definitely feel that implementing the digital process has kept us ahead of our competitors. After one and half years of experience with digitalization, we’ve reduced color complaints to zero.”

“For one year I’ve been working with Automatchic Vision, I have noticed that the equipment is great both in color fidelity a long with Wanda and in production time. Formerly I had to check the documentation and make the process; it took me a longer time. With Automatchic vision I noticed that fewer sheets were produced, that is, I spent less time, less dye and currently the time spent to produce the paint is around 15 to 20 minutes.”
