When the customer says 'this batch isn't quite the right shade' — the customer is usually right. Color and texture verification quantifies what the eye notices. Lab-grade ΔE color measurement, AI-driven texture classification, batch-to-batch consistency tracking, all at line speed.
If your spec is 'matches master sample' and you have no per-batch color measurement, you have no defense when a customer rejects a delivery. Inline ΔE measurement gives you a number per batch — defensible in court if you need it.
We add a calibrated color measurement station to your existing line. The station includes a NIST-traceable calibration target and a color-managed camera; ΔE values per part are logged to your existing quality system. The eye-match step continues for the borderline cases; the easy 95% becomes machine-verified.
The IX-H/01 hyperspectral body is the metrology-grade tool for this — full visible spectrum across 400-700 nm at every pixel, plus NIR for dye penetration analysis. ΔE accuracy below 0.5 across the working envelope. Texture and pattern classification using the same hyperspectral data.
Calibration target imaged at start of shift. Color pipeline locks to NIST reference.
Each part imaged. ΔE computed against master per region of interest.
Texture / pattern classifier evaluates uniformity, defects, and pattern adherence.
Pass / out-of-tolerance verdict to PLC. ΔE + texture metrics to quality system per part.
