Royal Carpet (Royalty Carpet) said after using the online color control system: "TeleFlash has directly affected our quality control process"
Royalty Carpet Mill, headquartered in Irvine, California, has become one of the largest vertically integrated, wholly-owned carpet mills on the West Coast. The products of the Royal Carpet Factory are all produced in-house, including spinning, tufting, dyeing and more than 90 quality processes on the Royal Carpet Production Line. This comprehensive capability enables total quality control and quick adjustments to meet market demands and customer service requirements. For spot color measurement of carpet dyeing, Royal Carpet Works has relied on X-Rite's SP64 Portable Spectrophotometer. If a wrong color match occurs, the carpet needs to be reworked, costing the company valuable time and money. To improve quality control, Royal Carpets felt the need to manage its color quality online throughout the production process. That's when they discovered X-Rite's TeleFlash non-contact Spectrophotometer . Use X-Rite's TeleFlash non-contact Spectrophotometer to automatically measure color online and evaluate color deviations on a running production line. TeleFlash is suitable for various applications that require online non-contact measurement. It saves sample measurement results for a long time according to international standards and performs objective and comprehensive quality evaluation of colors. By using the TeleFlash system, instead of waiting until the end of production, Royal Carpets can monitor their dyes online during production, taking five independent measurements on each roll.
"TeleFlash has had a direct impact on our quality control process," said Brad Bowdle, manager of Royal Carpet Factory. This also allows us to recall the problematic products that have been shipped in time. Quality and service are the primary goals of our Royal Carpet Factory, so accurate color is the key to ensuring quality and service.”
return on investment
The Royal Carpet Factory has high praise for the TeleFlash system and they are convinced that the efficiency has been improved. "In less than six months, the savings from reduced re-staining and side mismatch issues alone were sufficient to purchase the TeleFlash system," says Bowdle.
