X-Rite Pantone has launched Spectura, a next-generation portable sphere spectrophotometer platform designed to connect trusted color measurement with modern quality workflows. Combining advanced measurement performance, secure cloud connectivity, and an expandable application framework, Spectura helps manufacturers reduce color errors, accelerate decisions, and maintain consistency from the laboratory to the production floor.<\/p>\n
Manufacturers increasingly manage color across distributed sites, supplier networks, and diverse materials while facing tighter tolerances and shorter approval cycles. Yet many production measurements still require manual data transfers before review, limiting visibility, and slowing corrective action.<\/p>\n
\u201cColor quality can no longer be managed one instrument, facility, or supplier at a time,\u201d states Ben Spiegel, director, Product Management, X-Rite Pantone. \u201cAs manufacturing becomes more distributed, organizations need connected workflows that preserve the integrity of color data across every location where decisions are made. Spectura creates that foundation, helping teams reduce variability, respond faster, and improve consistency throughout the color program.\u201d<\/p>\n
A New Foundation for Connected Color Quality<\/p>\n
Spectura brings laboratory-level measurement performance to a durable, portable platform. This new architecture integrates advanced optics, high-definition camera targeting, temperature-aware measurement, purpose-built accessories, secure cloud connectivity, NetProfiler integration, and future application capabilities within a single platform. Strong inter-instrument agreement with established X-Rite handheld and benchtop systems helps maintain alignment between established color standards and production results to reduce measurement variation and create a foundation for connected color quality management.<\/p>\n
X-Rite Color iQC powers secure cloud connectivity to deliver color and instrument performance data directly into digital quality workflows, reducing manual transfers. Quality managers can review production results in real time, identify issues earlier, reduce rework, and collaborate across locations, and suppliers using a shared source of trusted color data.<\/p>\n
A Platform Designed to Evolve<\/p>\n
Spectura unites instrument hardware, cloud services, NetProfiler, and modular applications to help manufacturers modernize color quality workflows while building on established standards and practices. Three models address distinct quality needs:<\/p>\n
Spectura S60 for portable color comparison.<\/p>\n
Spectura S62 for everyday quality control.<\/p>\n
Spectura S64 for tighter tolerances and agreement with Ci7800 benchtop spectrophotometers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe future of color quality control is defined by connected systems that make trusted data available wherever decisions are made,\u201d remarks Spiegel. \u201cSpectura helps manufacturers strengthen color quality today while preparing for evolving regulatory requirements, including CRA compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"X-Rite Pantone has launched Spectura, a next-generation portable sphere spectrophotometer platform designed to connect trusted color measurement with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-871921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
