Leveraging cutting-edge automation technology for precision colour matching
Automating colour matching processes to ensure consistency, accuracy and efficiency.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of colour matching to your laboratory.Consistency and accuracyInstruments such as spectrophotometers and colorimeters can measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, capturing how a colour appears under various lighting conditions. Using these tools within automated systems to ensure that colours remain uniform across different batches and production runs is ideal for handling large volumes of production and guarantees consistent brand identity.
Overcoming challengesSome materials can reflect light in complex ways, making colour matching more challenging. Our automated systems use algorithms that account for the ways in which different materials reflect light, allowing accurate colour matching even with challenging materials like textiles and plastics.
Lighting conditions can also affect the way colours appear. Standardised lighting environments are used to replicate certain conditions to evaluate and match colours accurately.
Reduced wasteAutomating colour matching ensures that the correct colour is achieved the first time, minimising the need for reworks and discards. We can also optimise the use of dyes, pigments and other materials, ensuring they are used efficiently. These can lead to significant savings on materials, reducing the number of errors.
