Claim:
1. A can coating system, comprising: a primary control system configured to monitor and control operation of first and second spray machines over a network, the primary control system having at least one primary control system display configured to selectively display a coating material pressure, a coating material temperature, a rotational speed or a production rate in number of cans produced per unit time of the first and second spray machines; a first spray machine display configured to selectively display a first coating material pressure, a first coating material temperature, a first rotational speed or a first production rate in number of cans produced per unit time of the first spray machine, the first spray machine display being disposed in close proximity to the first spray machine, the first spray machine display being in electrical communication with the primary control system; a second spray machine display configured to selectively display a second coating material pressure, a second coating material temperature, a second rotational speed or a second production rate in number of cans produced per unit time of the second spray machine, the second spray machine display being disposed in close proximity to the second spray machine, the second spray machine display being in electrical communication with the primary control system; a first multifunction control system associated with the first spray machine, the first multifunction control system being configured to communicate with the primary control system, wherein the first multifunction control system is configured to receive signals from one or more of a first vacuum sensor, a first speed sensor, a first can-in-position sensor and a first gun-in-position sensor associated with the first spray machine; and a second multifunction control system associated with the second spray machine, the second multifunction control system being configured to communicate with the primary control system, wherein the second multifunction control system is configured to receive signals from one or more of a second vacuum sensor, a second speed sensor, a second can-in-position sensor and a second gun-in-position sensor associated with the second spray machine.
