The awards acknowledge the impact of Qlayers’ 10Q robotic coating solution, designed to improve maintenance operations for large industrial assets such as storage tanks and maritime vessels.
By automating the coating process, the system—supported by a patented spray shielding technology, reduces coating material waste and overspray by up to 35%, significantly lowering emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This contributes to cleaner air quality and reduced environmental harm – key priorities aligned with global sustainability frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Read more about how they achieve that.
Additionally, the solution enhances safety by reducing the need for work at height and minimizing worker exposure to hazardous chemicals and fumes through controlled, enclosed application.
By addressing challenges such as inconsistent coating quality, safety risks, project delays, and environmental impact, Qlayers’ robotic coating solution contributes to a broader shift toward more reliable and sustainable maintenance practices, helping to set new standards across the industry.
In addition to the company’s recognition, three Qlayers team members won among the Tank Storage Forty Under 40: Ruben Geutjens, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder; Alessandro Bordi, QHSE & ESG Officer; and Thi Nguyen, Marketing Manager, in recognition of their contributions to innovation and industry development.
These awards reflect a broader transition within the tank storage sector toward automation-driven solutions that address both operational and environmental challenges. Qlayers attributes this achievement to the collective efforts of its team and partners, and to a shared commitment to advancing industry standards.
