TEKO Installs Inkmaker "Easypaint 24V" at Mowilex, Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia, 16 August 2022.


PT Teko Tinting and Engineering—IM GROUP’s Southeast-Asian based tinting-solutions and R&D branch—has completed a major installation, of an Inkmaker top-of-the-range paint dispensing system, at Mowilex’s factory in Serang, Indonesia.

 

The installation of the Inkmaker Easypaint 10v+24v water-based dispensing system—designed for interior exterior and decorative paints including roof paints, water proofing, and wood staining—was the result of a tripartite collaboration involving leading-edge

technology from IM GROUP’s; Inkmaker Turin, Inkmaker Shanghai and PT Teko Tinting and Engineering. The installed system comes powered by Inkmaker’s IMAESTRO software which connects virtually to modern ERP systems.”

 

PT Mowilex Indonesia, a leading producer of premium paints and coatings in Indonesia, with a workforce of over 1,000 team members and products distributed over 8,000 stores throughout the archipelago, compared several leading systems before settling on the optimal paint-dispensing solution:
 

“The Easypaint’s production speed, formula-dosing accuracy and detailed work-order traceability is impressive,” explained Niko Safavi, CEO of PT Mowilex, “the customised version, which Teko installed at our Cikande factory, is expected handle up to 70 tons per month, with 21 days of operation per month, translating into 3,3 tons per day.”

 

Having designated 50% of its new 6-plus-hectare factory at Cikande as a green area, Mowilex—a pioneer in the development of environmentally friendly practices since its inception in 1970—looked for a system that could achieve its eco-friendly goals:

 

“Due to the high-precision dosing of the Inkmaker Easypaint we no longer require unnecessary extra stock, and can therefore eliminate unnecessary waste as well as having a cleaner production site,” concluded Safavi.

 

“The installation was particularly challenging for our team,” explained Michael Setiadi, Director of PT Teko Tinting and Engineering, Supply-chain, “deliveries were delayed and, due to lockdowns in Shanghai being at the peak of the Omicron variant, this limited the speed of our operations in Serang. Thankfully, being part of IM GROUP, we were able to tap into its collective knowledge and resources to best optimise our activities and minimise delays.”

 

“Mowilex is one of Indonesia’s most prominent paints and coatings brands, we are very proud that our Easypaint was able to meet its stringent requirements and that—with the combined expertise of Teko and Inkmaker—it is functioning beyond its expectations. We greatly look forward to future collaborations with the team at Mowilex,” commented Roberto Guerra, CEO Asia Pacific, IM GROUP.

Using Light Reflectance Value (LRV) in your compliance design: Managing contrast in a building

By Edwin Sim • May 23, 2025
Visually impaired people (VIP) encounter difficulties with perception of environments in everyday life. A door on a wall or a column on a station might be easily detected and seen, but it is an invisible hazard for VIP. With this in mind, Contrast therefore is an essential and vital tool for VIP to navigate in this world (Bright et al; 1997, Dalke et al; 2004). There are five key factors, according to Dalke and Conduit; 2010, which affect visual acuity (including contrast), for assessing the visibility of designs in a real world context. The colour contrast assessment model, developed by Dalke and Conduit enables designers, builders, consultants, developers to predict before and after installation whether a VIP is able to see an object, text or element of a building component. As outlined in AS1428.1 (2009) and AS 1428.4.1 (2009), contrast measurement is vital in building guidelines for design of environments and services for VIP. Therein the standards, the Light Reflectance Value (LRV) measurement must be measured using either a colourimter or a spectrophotometer with diffused illumination using Illuminant D65. LRV is measured through the visible colour spectrum, which is beyond what can be distinguished by the human eye alone. Measurement of LRV refers to both colour and appearance of the sample and uses geometric principles that relate to additional attributes such as gloss or shine. Spectrophotometers that are used to measure these characteristics typically utilises: Diffuse d/8° Sphere, specular reflectance included Diffuse d/8° Sphere, specular reflectance excluded In addition, the instrument has to be capable of measuring CIE for Yxy colour space. The measured LRV is defined by the tristimulus value Y. The chromaticity coordinates x and y provide an indication of the colour. LRV – A life saving tool.
