FixLine — an integrated repair production system

FixLine redesigns preparation and painting as a continuous flow, transforming body repair into a controlled and predictable production process.

Traditional body shops operate with disconnected workstations, vehicle handling and curing delays.

FixLine removes these inefficiencies by organizing preparation and painting into a fixed sequence of integrated phases.

Once the repair starts, it moves forward without interruption.

In FixLine, the vehicle remains on the same carrier and moves through all phases:

primer application, sanding, masking, painting, curing, unmasking and polishing.

Each phase is performed at a fixed workstation, ensuring consistency and balance.

FixLine is based on decomposed repair phases.

This allows up to 60% of the workforce to be composed of apprentices or general operators, while skilled technicians focus on critical tasks.

The result is lower labor cost, faster training and higher repeatability.

Compared to traditional layouts, FixLine can operate with up to 40% less floor space.

It is designed for operations handling 8 to 50 repairs per day, with modular configurations for higher volumes.

FixLine is only possible if waiting times are eliminated.

Symach curing technologies reduce drying times to minutes, allowing the vehicle to move forward immediately after each phase.

Technology is integrated as part of the system, not added later.

FixLine is designed as the core of preparation and painting, but it is always integrated into the full body shop workflow.

Disassembly, metal repair, reassembly and finishing are designed around FixLine to ensure overall balance.

Every FixLine is designed directly by Symach following a structured process and layout analysis.

Installation and service are carried out by certified local partners to ensure long-term performance.

FixLine is not for every body shop. Understanding your workflow is the first step.
