CASE.1Installation of CCM (Computer Color Matching) System
Paint manufacturer (color matching center)
Color matching speed and color quality were improved by installation of CCM.
| Product / Device name | CCM (Computer Color Matching) System Product Details |
|---|---|
| Purpose | To improve productivity of color matching sites and stability of color quality |
Before
In a color matching center of a major paint manufacturer, 20 color matching engineers treated 300-400 tons of paint per month, causing the problem of increased overtime. Besides, the fluctuation in color quality, depending on the skill of the color matching engineer, led to complaints in some cases.
After
Installation of CCM allows a remarkable improvement of color matching speed for less-experienced engineers. Because the skill difference between each engineer is no longer a factor, preparation of a production plan becomes easier. Overtime can be reduced by 500 hours/month, leading to cost reduction.
Color management with numerical values allows delivery of products with standardized color quality without individual differences. And the management of color recipes with a computer allows an increase in production speed and stabilization of color quality.
