A strip coating system includes a first pulley carrying a flexible metal or Al substrate wound up on the first pulley. A second, take-up, pulley is provided for taking up the coated substrate. The coating process is a continuous coating process, during which the first pulley and the second pulley are rotated to move the substrate continuously past a coating tool for depositing coating particles on a surface of the substrate. After having passed the coating section with a speed v, the substrate carrying a coating layer on the surface thereof passes an infrared spectroscopic measurement device for measuring the layer thickness of the coating layer. Feedback controls are provided to control one or more process parameters of the coating tool responsive to the measurement of the thickness of the coating layer detected by the measurement tool. Thus, an in situ online measurement of the thickness of the coating layer may be implemented.
