INDUSTRY NEWS
Don’t miss the next generation of
BYK-Gardner’s data analysis software
smart-chart!
BYK-Gardner - worldwide
partner of the automotive,
paint and plastic industries
for quality control of colour,
appearance and physical
properties - is announcing
the next generation of
their data analysis software
smart-chart.
In order to guarantee uniformity over time
and be able to proactively take measures
before colour or appearance start to drift,
process stability has to be controlled.
Therefore, a representative number of
readings have to be taken and large
data sets need to be analyzed. The next
generation of smart-chart software is built
on a new state-of-the-art platform and offers
advanced graphics and printout functionality
as well as a streamlined user interface.
Dive into the new advanced graphical
functionality of smart-chart
A new pan & zoom functionality allows to first
enlarge the graph and then move it to the
area of interest. For line graph, the zooming
is even done simultaneously for all charted
parameters allowing to always see the data
for exactly the same day or individual.
Brand new is the display of red and
green tolerance lines. They are based
on your product specifications in standard
management and can easily indicate
a quality drift so that you are able to
proactively take measures to avoid
costly rejects.

The new drill-in function shows history
trend of the last 20 measurements of
the same model, colour and painting line.
Just click on any point in the scatter plot!
Communication to your point
with dynamic print layout
Taste differs – not only in the case of food!
Which data is needed on the printout
depends on your requirements. Therefore,
smart-chart 5 offers a dynamic print layout
so that you can create your own template.
The order of data table and graphs can
be defined, line and page breaks can be
inserted and you can even implement your
company logo, a footer and a comment.
Data analysis streamlined with new reports
The software package smart-process
including the new features mentioned
above will be available 1st quarter of 2019.
Software smart-lab to follow approx.
2 months later.
To make the software more user-friendly
reports are combined without losing the
functionality of previous software versions.
As an example, to compare data of different
check zones only a checkmark needs to be
set in Trend Report without the need to move
to another report.
smart-chart 5 – one software solution for all
BYK-Gardner color & appearance products
You can’t get any more efficient in organizing
your QC system. Set-up of instruments,
central data storage and data analysis is
streamlined and the same for BYK-maci,
cloud-runner, wave-scan, micro-gloss and
the recently launched spectro2guide.
