New Technical Concept Saves Time, Cost and the Environment

The new technical concept from Lovibond® Tintometer® is already saving time, cost and the environment. With PFXi instruments in full production, users are already benefiting from the capabilities of remote calibration and management via the Internet (RCMSi).

Colour measurement instruments require regular servicing and checking with calibration standards to ensure correct operation and continuous compliance to international standards such as ISO 17025.

Historically, instruments were returned to qualified service centres: involving shipment costs and an impact on the environment. Moreover, downtime incurs production loss or loan equipment is obtained, again impacting the environment and increasing costs.

RCMSi technology eliminates the need to return the instrument to a qualified Service Centre by enabling users to calibrate the instrument on-site, at their plants, yet still receive an authoritative Certificate of Calibration from an ISO 17025 / ISO 9001:2008 certified facility. Measurements are taken in the field and communicated to a secure server at the Lovibond® Tintometer® facility in the UK where software remotely monitors the calibration process. If the data passes within a defined tolerance of the Master Data on the Server, a Certificate of Calibration is electronically provided to the user.

The result is fully calibrated instruments, traceable certificate of compliance, minimised cost, and no environmental impact.
