Seabased Industry AB develops system for extracting electrical energy from ocean waves with a Wave Energy Converter (WEC). The components is bought from subcontractors and then assembled into wave energy converters, buoys and marine substations by Seabased. In the future Seabased will produce more of the components themselves to reduce costs and to have better control over tolerances. The production line will also include the painting of the WECs and substations, which is performed in a painting line. The purpose of this thesis work is to study what is required to build a painting line, regarding the types of stations, transporting types and the space needed. This will result in layouts for the painting line. To receive the necessary information about production theory and corrosion and surface treatment, literature concerning this area has been studied. In addition a study visit has been done to see how a painting line may look like. This has been the basis for the solutions of the layouts. Since the design of the WEC, the production rate and the requirements of the painting system may change there are many parameters to consider. This led to several proposals of the layouts, to meet the requirements which may change. Considered the suggestions of solutions that have been presented in this report, Seabased can continue working towards developing a more optimal solution of the layout for the painting line that meets the requirements at issue.
