Installation for preferably automatically coating objects with coating material, in particular coating powder, wherein the installation comprises the following: - a coating station having at least one coating gun for spraying coating material, in particular as required, in the direction of a coating region; - a conveying apparatus for in particular continuously transporting objects to be coated through the coating region; and - a device for capturing a size, geometry and/or contour of at least one region of an object to be coated in a monitoring region located - when viewed in the conveying direction of the conveying apparatus - upstream of the coating station, wherein the coating station is assigned a positioning device for positioning the at least one coating gun relative to the coating region, in particular selectively and/or if required, and wherein furthermore a control device is provided, which is configured to control the positioning device of the coating station in dependence on the captured size, geometry and/or contour of the object to be coated and in particular with a time delay, characterized in that the device for capturing a size, geometry and/or contour of at least one region of an object to be coated has a first optical capture system in the form of at least one first laser scanning system, which is configured to scan and/or to sweep over the at least one region of the object to be coated in the monitoring region with at least one first laser beam in order to measure the region, wherein the at least one first laser beam of the first laser scanning system travels in a first direction perpendicular or at least substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction, relative to the conveying direction of the conveying apparatus, and in that the device for capturing a size, geometry and/or contour of at least one region of an object to be coated has at least one second optical capture system in particular in the form of at least one second laser scanning system, which is configured to scan and/or to sweep over the at least one region of the object to be coated in the monitoring region of the device for capturing a size, geometry and/or contour in particular line-by-line or in the manner of a grid with at least one second laser beam (15, 16) in order to measure the region, wherein the at least one second laser beam (15, 16) of the at least one second optical capture system travels in a second direction, which differs from the first direction and is at an angle to the conveying direction of the conveying apparatus, relative to the conveying direction of the conveying apparatus. - a coating station having at least one coating gun for spraying coating material, in particular as required, in the direction of a coating region;
