Quality Control (QC) Capabilities in MEC

In addition to its advanced color matching functions, the MEC Color Matching Software provides a comprehensive Quality Control (QC) module designed to ensure consistent quality in both laboratory and production environments. The QC features help users evaluate, monitor, and maintain the quality of produced samples with exceptional precision.

Below are the key features of the QC section:


1. Multi-Light Source Evaluation

MEC allows users to analyze and compare color differences between production samples and reference standards under multiple light sources.
This feature ensures that samples appear identical across all lighting conditions, including daylight and various artificial illuminants.


2. Multi-Angle Analysis

If your spectrophotometer supports multi-angle measurements, MEC enables the comparison of samples from different viewing angles.
This ensures that the produced samples maintain visual consistency with the reference from all perspectives, an essential feature for metallic and pearlescent coatings.


3. Evaluation Using Multiple Indices

MEC supports a wide range of color appearance indices, including:

  • Whiteness Index (WI)

  • Yellowness Index (YI)

  • Blackness Index and others.

These parameters allow for a deeper and more accurate evaluation of sample properties and help identify subtle variations in color and appearance.


4. Visualization in Multiple Color Spaces

MEC enables users to visualize and compare data in various color spaces, such as:

  • CIE Lab

  • CIE XYZ

  • CIE LUV, and more.

It also supports multiple color difference equations, including ΔE2000 and ΔE94, to provide more accurate and flexible color difference analyses.


5. Production Trend Monitoring

MEC allows users to measure, store, and compare production samples over time.
This functionality helps identify process fluctuations and ensures long-term consistency in color quality, making it easier to monitor and control production stability.


6. Graphical Data Visualization

Since numerical comparisons can be complex, MEC offers powerful graphical visualization tools.
Results can be displayed in various charts and graphs, enabling users to interpret data intuitively and observe differences visually.


Conclusion

The QC module in MEC Color Matching Software provides a powerful set of tools for analyzing and ensuring the quality of production samples. With these features, users can:

  • Ensure color consistency under all lighting conditions and angles,

  • Maintain stable and uniform production quality, and

  • Perform precise and visual data analysis for better decision-making.

These capabilities make MEC an ideal choice for industries that demand high precision and consistent quality in their color production processes.
