New Technical Concept Saves Time, Money and the Environment

The new technical concept from Lovibond® Tintometer® (UK) is already saving time, money 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 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 and at their plants, whilst still receiving an authoritative certificate of calibration from a UKAS / ISO certified facility. Measurements are taken in the field and communicated to a secure server at the Lovibond® Tintometer® facility, 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 a fully calibrated instrument, traceable certificate of compliance, minimised cost and no impact on the environment.
