Corrosion of materials is nowadays one of the problems in the industry. The aim of this article is to integrate an automated prototype electrolytic coating system and implement it in a furniture plant based at Chihuahua, Mexico. It is based on the study and development of the automation process of a manual coating machine with a Chrome bath, in order to reduce production costs, increase quality, and minimize the negative impacts in the workers’ safety. The prototype consists of a bank of PVC tubes and a power source; while automation is done through PLCs.
