In xFarby.sk, a specialised online store for paints, coatings and painting supplies, customers choose both the product and a specific colour shade online. To transfer order data more effectively into the physical preparation of paint in the store, we used AI to analyse the tinting machine and its technical connection with the online store.
In paint sales, an online order naturally connects with the physical preparation of the shade in the store. The tinting machine works with its own data, rules and communication logic, so we needed to understand its technical operation and prepare a connection with the online store.
AI accelerated the analysis of technical materials, existing code and communication with the machine. From the available materials, it helped create working documentation, identify connections and understand the environment that needed to be connected to the new solution.
Based on the analysis, we prepared an application that can communicate with the tinting machine and pass on the data needed to prepare a shade. Information from the online store can therefore connect more smoothly with the physical preparation of paint in the store.
The xFarby.sk team can better connect order data with the tinting process and further develop automation between the online store and operations. AI brought value mainly in the technical preparation of the solution: it accelerated understanding of the older system and helped create a functional connection with a real device.
