From cloud software to precision instruments, X-Rite empowers manufacturers to digitise colour workflows, accelerate approvals, reduce waste, and prepare for an AI-driven future.
X-Rite Incorporated is set to present its latest innovations in colour management at key industry events across North America this autumn. These include Coatings Trends & Technologies, Western Coatings, and Advanced Design & Manufacturing.
The company will be demonstrating its new Judge LED light booth and Autura™ Effects formulation software, both designed to help plastics and coatings manufacturers digitise workflows, streamline approvals, reduce waste and prepare for an AI-enabled future.
“To embrace AI and other advanced manufacturing technologies, manufacturers need quality data, and that starts with digitising processes, including colour workflows. X-Rite offers connected, end-to-end digital colour workflow solutions that make it easy to specify, produce, control, and monitor colour across the supply chain. This allows manufacturers to create a strong colour data foundation to accelerate approvals, reduce waste, and fully leverage AI-driven automation,” has stated Matthew Adby, Product Management Director, X-Rite.
X-Rite will highlight its latest solutions designed to enhance each stage of the colour journey—from design and formulation through to quality control:
- Autura™ Cloud-Native Software: This cloud-based platform streamlines colour formulation for effect finishes using advanced prediction models. Autura reduces colour corrections from seven steps to just two or three, cutting material use and approval timelines.
- Judge LED Light Booth: Enables accurate assessment and evaluation of colour under standard LED light sources, in line with the global move towards energy-efficient and sustainable lighting.
- Colour iQC: Available on subscription, this quality control software tracks colour from specification to production and assembly, with tools to intelligently automate processes and minimise errors.
- Ci7860 Sphere Benchtop Spectrophotometer: Provides industry-leading inter-instrument agreement and repeatability across opaque, transparent, translucent and brightened samples.
“By combining advanced prediction models and digital workflows, customers can achieve greater precision, faster results, and more sustainable outcomes,” has added Matthew Adby.
