Common Challenges We Solve

Labor Cost Problem

Manual color inspection consuming excessive staff hours and creating bottlenecks in production flow.

→ One scan replaces 347,600 point measurements

Consistency Problem

Batch-to-batch color variation causing quality complaints and material waste.

→ Digital measurement eliminates human subjectivity

Complex Surface Problem

Mottled, textured, or multi-colored surfaces impossible to measure with spot colorimeters.

→ 0.4mm pixel-level color recognition

Data Depth Problem

Need spectral information for analysis, not just color values.

→ Full 400-780nm spectrum per pixel (2nm resolution)

Decision Framework

Answer these 4 questions to determine if IC-M10L is your solution
1
Do you measure areas larger than 10cm or multiple samples simultaneously?
Yes → IC-M10L Required No → Continue to Q2

2
Do your samples have mottled, textured, or uneven surfaces?
Yes → IC-M10L Required No → Continue to Q3

3
Do you need full spectral data (not just color values) for analysis?
Yes → IC-M10L Required No → Continue to Q4

4
Is batch-to-batch consistency critical to your quality standards?
Yes → IC-M10L Required No → Standard colorimeter may suffice
If you answered YES to ANY question above, IC-M10L is the recommended solution.
