Exciting news from Okibo this month!
We unveiled the BLASTER (Broad Layer Airless Spray Technology for Efficiency & Repeatability) spray gun for our EG7 and EG7+ robots. This amazing double-nozzle spray system redefines industrial painting and priming standards for large-scale job sites.
The BLASTER features a synchronized dual-gun configuration capable of covering a standard four-foot board width (and up to 24 feet high) in just two passes! By combining our AI-guided autonomous platforms with this high-capacity spray system, we are enabling contractors to achieve 5x productivity gains in painting and priming, while providing a high-quality finish that meets the most stringent project specifications every single time.
Check the BLASTER out in action!
Thanks to Under the Hard Hat for recognizing the excitement around our EG7 and EG7+ robots.
Showcased at the recent HENSEL PHELPS event, Okibo is working to revolutionize the largest labor-intensive market in the world with innovative robotics that create efficiencies and make job sites safer.
“It wasn’t just some fancy new tech being shown off in a lab or demo space. Instead, the robot was tested in real-world conditions in the field, in front of general contractors who live and breathe drywall and painting work. Industry feedback . . . gave them the reassurance they needed to begin pushing the EG7+ to a broader audience across the United States.”
The construction industry faces no shortage of challenges in 2026:
– An aging and retiring workforce
– Immigration enforcement
– High materials prices
– Tariffs
According to the most recent report from Associated Builders and Contractors, the construction industry will need to attract an estimated 349,000 net new workers to keep up with demand this year and even more (456,000) in 2027.
That’s where Okibo comes in. We’re on a mission to revolutionize the largest labor-intensive market in the world by creating the biggest autonomous workforce. Our robots are purpose-built to work alongside skilled teams, enhancing productivity and safety on sites of all sizes.
