ColorCARE® evolution – The digital step to perfect color matching

CoLiMo®: Smart KPI Monitoring and Process Control

CoLiMo® stands for "Color Line Monitor", a web application for faster and more precise color monitoring of paint batches. Streamline your paint process with CoLiMo®, your optimized digital interface for seamless QC lab operations, batch management and precise color measurement. The CoLiMo® software combines the manufacturer's color measurements on the painting line with production data and automatically evaluates them. The line performance of the colors is easily analyzed thanks to the self-developed key performance indicators or KPIs. The users can see how each batch appears on the body. The automaker can derive forecasts and trends in the paint shop from this.

With CoLiMo®, we produce paint batches that are perfectly matched to the color standard to be achieved. Thus, we increase the quality of the color adjustments, achieve an even more uniform color harmony of the body and add-on parts, and provide our customers with a color-constant paint finish.
