Control of a coating process
First Claim
1. A device for providing a sample coating comprising:
- a manufacturing device for providing a sample with one or more sample characteristics associated with one or more coating characteristics;
a sample sensor for determining the one or more sample characteristics, including at least the porosity or permeability of the sample;
a manufacturing controller for controlling the manufacturing device and controlling the one or more characteristics of the sample provided by the manufacturing device based on the determined one or more sample characteristics;
a coating device for providing coating to the sample with the one or more coating characteristics;
a coating sensor for determining the one or more coating characteristics; and
a coating controller for controlling the coating device and controlling the one or more characteristics of the coating provided by the coating device based on the determined one or more coating characteristics.
