New paint production processes in the automotive industry have the potential to be much more cost and materials efficient but require higher levels of process monitoring than are currently available. With its terahertz technology, TeraView Ltd has developed a Technology Demonstrator to rapidly measure simultaneously several coating layers in a non-contact manner. The prototype has been successfully trialled in car plants in the UK and USA. In this proposed project we will take the device from Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) 4 to MRL 6. Several car manufacturers have expressed interest in applying this technology to assist in monitoring and control of the painting process. The project represents a sizeable business opportunity and, in using terahertz, introduces a new sensor technology to the automotive industry.

汽车工业中的新油漆生产工艺具有更高的成本和材料效率的潜力，但需要比目前更高水平的工艺监控。凭借太赫兹技术，TeraView Ltd开发了一种技术演示器，可以以非接触方式同时快速测量多个涂层。该原型车已在英国和美国的汽车厂成功试用。在本拟议项目中，我们将器械从制造就绪水平（MRL）4提升至MRL 6。一些汽车制造商表示有兴趣应用这项技术来帮助监控和控制喷漆过程。该项目代表了一个相当大的商业机会，通过使用太赫兹，为汽车行业引入了一种新的传感器技术。
