PaintMaster Airfield
FJD PaintMaster Airfield
A New Era of Autonomous Airfield Marking
Still Marking Airfields the Hard Way?
When every closure window is limited, small marking errors can turn into repainting, wasted paint, and delayed reopening.
- Spending time on layout before marking starts.
- Carrying old line errors into the next repaint.
- Rushing corrections before the runway reopens.
Make Every Marking Window Count
FJD PaintMaster Airfield helps crews mark faster with less manual layout work.
- 50%+ less manpower required.
- Up to 3x faster marking workflow.
- 30-50% shorter runway closure time*.
- *Actual results may vary by task, site conditions, and operating setup.
One Robot. Two Airfield Marking Workflows.
Whether you're laying out a new marking plan or repainting existing lines, PaintMaster Airfield runs both workflows from the same platform.
- New Markings — Import approved CAD drawings and convert them into executable robot paths for runways, taxiways, and aprons.
- Existing Line Marking — Use V4e Pro to verify reference points, correct site deviations, and avoid repeating old marking errors.
Built to See, Position, and Protect
Four systems work together to keep the robot precisely positioned and safe around airside work zones.
- RTK Positioning — Provides centimeter-level positioning to help the robot stay aligned with planned marking paths.
- LiDAR Sensing — Supports obstacle detection and navigation in controlled airside work zones.
- Vision Detection — Helps identify nearby objects and improve situational awareness during operation.
- Bumper Protection — Adds physical collision protection to help reduce impact risk around work-zone boundaries.
Control Every Stage of the Marking Job
Keep CAD drawings, point data, job records, and operation logs within your airport network, with full visibility from planning to completion.
- Pre-Job Route Preview — Preview the route and marking sequence before work starts, so crews can reduce on-site adjustments inside the closure window.
- Real-Time Job Monitoring — Track job progress, operating time, battery level, paint status, and machine alerts while work is underway.
- Extended Operation Support — Quick-swap batteries help crews continue night and extended marking tasks with fewer interruptions from charging downtime.
From Plan to Report
A connected workflow keeps each marking job planned, checked, executed, and recorded from setup to completion.
- Plan from CAD — Start from approved CAD drawings for both new markings and existing line remarking.
- Verify Reference Points (Optional) — For remarking, use V4e Pro to verify key reference points and correct site deviations before repainting.
- Preview Route — Review the route and marking sequence before work starts to reduce on-site adjustments.
- Autonomous Marking — The robot follows the approved path with RTK positioning, sensor guidance, and automated paint control.
- Export Job Report — Generate job records for review, internal reporting, and future maintenance planning.
