Trio for digital color matching
Customers who rely on super-accurate and effortless color matching and retrieval can now take advantage of three new digital tools for the industrial sector introduced by AkzoNobel.
They all work with the „Salcomix” system, an on-site facility which enables customers to mix paint on demand with superior color accuracy. The trio includes „Salcomix PaintFinder Cloud” (which provides remote access to more than 600,000 color formulations); the high-end „Automatchic Vision” measuring device; and the „ColorFinder”, a color-matching system which works via a dedicated app.
The „Salcomix PaintFinder Cloud” is based on an existing web-based solution. Accessible from anywhere, it enables color formulations to be uploaded and accessed immediately. „One of the many great things about the product is that it’s fast, requires no local installation of software and is always up-to-date,” says Tomasz Kluczewski, Regional Commercial Director for Powder Coatings, North Europe. „So within minutes of us developing a new color formula in one product line, it’s already globally available.”
„Automatchic Vision” is a premium hand-held device offering high standards in accurate color matching. The „ColorFinder” system is a smaller, hand-held device which scans colors wirelessly via Bluetooth and pairs with an iOS or Android device, enabling users to instantly search for the right color match. „Efficiency, convenience and right-first-time color matching are vital in helping our customers to build a competitive advantage and improve speed of service,” continues Kluczewski, who adds that the initial launch is underway in Europe. „I’m sure these digital tools will help to make a difference.”
