The solution to creating, validating andinspecting colors in manufacturing. The Color Inspect app assistsproduction personnel, product designers and brand managers ensurethat color standards are verified through the production process.The app paired with our NODE+chromaPro scanning device assists tohold products to manufacturing standards.Color Inspect gives manufacturers the:* Ability to create multiple standards and samples within aproduct* Capability to create standards within a process* Set # of required scans for creating a standard* Set # of required scans for inspection (scan against astandard)* ∆E type – CIE2000, CMC 1 : 1, CMC 2 : 1, CIE 1994 (graphic arts),or CIE 1994 (textile)* Inspection ∆E tolerance* Illuminant – D50 or D65* Logs all history of previous scans and standards forreferenceThis app provides a color inspection system that can beintegrated throughout supply chains. The Color Inspect systemchanges the way modern color management systems operate. Thecompact size and mobility of the device paired with the app allowfor easy collection and identification of color.Validate The ColorsThe Color Inspect system can differentiate colors the human eyeisn’t able to. Our technology can be broken down into threeessential components. The NODE+chromaPro is a revolutionaryhardware breakthrough, which offers the functionality to gather awide variety of sensory and environmental data. The Color Inspectapp paired with the hardware gives the colorimeterfunctionality.Inspect The ProcessKeep the production process moving and catch defects faster. ColorInspect plays a huge role is defining the standard of color used onproducts. It also keeps those products within a certain ∆E range ofthe standard.
