Combining IoT and material science, SmartWool Pads embedded with microsensors are redefining precision in car polish workflows. These pads analyze paint hardness in real-time, adjusting polish abrasiveness via connected dispensing systems.
How It Works
- Pressure Mapping: 256 sensors detect uneven surfaces.
- Abrasive Sync: The pad communicates with polish brands (e.g., 3M, Meguiar’s) to release optimal compound amounts.
- Heat Control: Thermochromic fibers change color at 140°F, warning users to reduce RPM.
Industry Reception
Bodyshops using SmartWool report 50% faster turnaround. “It eliminated my rookie technician’s burn-through errors,” says a Dallas shop owner. Priced at
89/pad(vs.25 standard), the tech targets high-volume operations.
Future Roadmap
Version 2.0 (2025) will feature self-cleaning wool strands activated by UV light, reducing water waste during pad cleaning.
