With the world going techno smart, the textile industry too emerges with intellectual edge  in its innovations. Coats Group Plc – he world leader in value added engineered yarns and threads for industrial and consumer use has brought forth and innovative colour solution. Coatsmatch is a boost to the sewn products industry which will help reduce lead time and the high costs adjoined to colour design and approval processes. . “Like Coats Colour Express, Coatsmatch has a highly portable and user-friendly colour-reading device and in addition it connects via Bluetooth to two mobile apps, Coats Colour Select and Coats Colour Compare,” stated the press release.

The Coatsmatch allows a designer to capture colour from their physical inspiration and then identify the closest match colour on the app.  The Coats Colour Compare app makes it easy for users to share measured colour standards and set tolerances within which a colour is acceptable. Once a colour has been captured using the CoatsMatch device, it is instantly loaded onto the app. This digital representation of the colour can then be accurately compared to the Coats Colour Atlas with its comprehensive set of more than 7,500 colour standards or a customer’s own colour library. “The selected colour reference can also be transferred within seconds to other users along the supply chain, saving significant time and increasing accuracy,” Coats observed.

“This colour match would be more accurate because it is an objective digital representation of the colour rather than subjective through the eyes of the person looking at it,” it explained. In addition, the app will highlight if the designer has used the colour before in previous collections to prevent duplicate development and can also identify the closest colour match for the thread, zips and trims. Coatsmatch can also be used during the approval process for a fabric sample before production by which the manufacturer can check the colour accuracy before sending it for approval. “This would reduce the number of iterations and hence deliver significant time and cost savings,” the UK based company noted. Rajiv Sharma, CEO, Industrial, Coats Group said, “Coatsmatch is another clear example of Coats using its global expertise to deliver customer led innovation.” “Every year a substantial amount of money is wasted through inefficiencies in the colour supply chain within the sewn products industry and Coatsmatch helps reduce downtime and waste, resulting in lower costs,’ he too added.
