Axalta has sold its 60,000th spectrophotometer, with 10,000 sold in the past 15 months. The rapid increase in recent sales is attributed mainly to a strong global digitisation trend. These increasingly popular handheld digital tools are an accurate and fast way of colour matching that boost the efficiency of bodyshops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAdopting a digital approach to colour matching and retrieval is a global trend that started 25 years ago when Axalta was one of the first coatings companies to offer a digital device and software to refinish customers,\u201d Dr Martin Wulf, Axalta\u2019s Colour and Technical Manager for Refinish Systems in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, says. \u201cToday, we encourage all of our users to future-proof themselves and optimise their efficiency by moving to digital colour measurement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using the latest-generation spectrophotometer and cloud-based colour software is easy. Refinishers simply take the colour readings from a vehicle\u2019s paintwork using the spectrophotometer, which then wirelessly sends the readings to Axalta\u2019s online global colour database. The colour matching software searches more than 200,000 constantly-updated formulas, and where necessary, automatically adjusts the closest formula to provide refinishers with the best possible match, which can then be selected on a smartphone or a tablet and sent via WIFI to an IP scale for mixing the colour formula. The whole process is more accurate, more efficient and more profitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
