Next Generation of BYK-Gardner’s Data Analysis Software smart-chart 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 analysed. 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.
