Color Pain Points in the Finishing Industry
Typical of the finishing industry are long chains, many processes and complex variables, each of which affects color accuracy and stability.
The critical shift from “empirical coloring” to “systems management”
The traditional way of color management is, essentially: by experience, by feeling, by personal ability. But color, by nature, can be measured, calculated, managed and replicated.
Datacolor ‘s idea is not to simply upgrade a device, but to build a complete intelligent color management system.
“Measurement-Algorithm-Collaboration-Automation” system solution
(1) Accurate Measurement: Let the color “see and say ”
Through the high-precision spectrophotometric color measurement system, quantify the base color, pattern color and gloss under a uniform light source, and establish the basis of traceable color data.
(2) Intelligent Algorithm: Make color mixing a “mathematical problem ”
The system automatically calculates the formula based on the target color and takes into account the color difference, cost, coverage and the risk of the same color with different spectrums, which significantly improves the success rate of the first match.
(3) Data Collaboration: Let the upstream and downstream speak the same color language
Through the data-based platform to unify color standards, tolerance strategies and historical records, to achieve consistent color decision-making across multiple factories and enterprises.
(4) Automated execution: let the data really go to production
The system is docked to the color mixing machine and feeding equipment, realizing automatic weighing, automatic feeding and real-time correction, eliminating human fluctuations to the greatest extent.
Effectiveness of Intelligent Automated Color Management System
In the practical application of the finishing industry, the intelligent color management system is bringing about very intuitive changes: (1) the color matching time from “days” to “hours” shortened
(2) Significantly reduce the color difference and increase the success rate of the first match to more than 90%.
(3) Significantly reduced ink and material waste
(4) Stable and consistent color performance even in multi-factory production
Color management, the valuable experience of the “master” and the system can be replicated in-depth integration of the ability to achieve the “man-machine collaboration” of intelligent upgrading.
In Datacolor ‘s collaborative network, every color decision is traceable, quantifiable and value-added.
Color management is not just about “saving money”, but about building long-term, healthy and sustainable competitiveness for your business.
