Official Launch - Lionel PX

Hong Kong – August Robotics, the world's leading commercial robotics company announces the launch of its latest innovation: Lionel PX

Lionel PX - the ultimate floor marking experience

August Robotics is proud to announce the release of our long-awaited paint mechanism innovation called Lionel PX.

“PX” is a reference to the word pixel and is fitting since this new marking mechanism change paints marks as a series of dots (just as a computer image is a matrix of pixels). Our currently fielded paint-spray Lionel robots are still delivering the fastest and most accurate floor marking experience - PX takes this a step further by improving the paint drying and maintenance experience for operators.

Ready for prime-time

Lionel PX is available to all new customers and to existing customers via a simple parts swap that can be conducted during regular scheduled maintenance

We have tested PX in multiple venues and conditions around the world and have achieved consistently better performance in multiple performance metrics including:

• 80% faster drying time
• 50% more marks per bottle
• 20% faster marking speed
• 50% more line resolution

These improved metrics result in significant time savings during show builds and just as importantly, for pack-down and hall surface restoration and cleaning. Lionel PX also allows the entire paint system to operate at lower pressures which improves paint nozzle performance and reduces the risk of blockages and other mechanical faults.

Why PX?

Our development is centred around client feedback, allowing us to focus on improvements that deliver immediate value. Our most common request from clients has been the need for marks that are thinner and easier to clean. Fulfilling this need became the focus of several development cycles.

Intuitively this could mean innovating on our paint or on how we actually paint marks. On review of multiple options on the market and some time tinkering in the research laboratory, the team finally settled on a solution that delivered better marks with less paint.

Unlike our regular system updates like our software enhancements, Lionel PX did change how our marks would be delivered. With multiple hours of real-world testing, the results showed that Lionel PX consistently delivered a better experience for operators overall. We felt the improvements warranted a mid-version release to our clients, rather than waiting until our next Lionel version release.

So we now offer Lionel PX as an optional update for all our clients. They can choose to keep the older paint-spray mechanism with continuous thicker lines OR opt for thinner dotted lines with a range of operational improvements with PX. Most of our clients have opted for PX but of course we’re happy to serve clients with whatever option they’ve selected.

Relentless innovation

Lionel is renowned across the exhibition industry as the leading floor marking solution on the market. Getting to this level has required the tireless efforts of our R&D teams, product teams and on-site engineers who have collaborated together to improve Lionel with each development cycle.

Our culture of innovation and constant improvement has taken Lionel from a high-touch robotics system to a productized solution that anyone can operate. The team at August Robotics is constantly redefining what’s possible in the realm of commercial robotics and we’re immensely proud to add PX to a long list of advancements making it easier for people to complete the dirty, dangerous and dull jobs.
