Digital operations in modern processes are making extensive contributions toward optimizing sequences and thus to related cost savings. Areas dealing mainly with colors, however, are still on the sidelines. One reason for this is that the sense of color, as the term implies, is a subjective feeling, meaning that different people may also feel differently toward color, and that it is difficult to describe a color uniformly on a subjective level without appropriate means of measurement. Spectral photometers have until now been the only devices used for detecting color characteristics, whereby the technology applied did not always brings results that corresponded with the sense of color. Thanks to the Color AIXperts company's multi-spectral color measurement technique, a technology is now on the market that enables contactless and locally resolved, true-color measurement of (multi)colored surfaces with simultaneous structure detection. A joint project involving Ford, Color AIXperts and the RWTH Aachen is now researching how this technology can best be integrated in the design, pre-production and production processes of the automotive industry.
