Abstract: Described herein is a computer-implemented method for providing color quality control applications to a user. The computer-implemented method includes presenting one or more applications in a graphical user interface, GUI, where the one or more applications include (i) one or more software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and/or (ii) one or more on-premises applications for providing one or more color quality control functionalities. The GUI includes one or more macro language widgets including a plurality of macro building blocks with each macro building block representing a dedicated functionality. The computer-implemented method further includes selecting a number of macro building blocks of the plurality of macro building blocks and connecting the selected number of macro building blocks with each other via socket connections to provide a desired script, which is executable to create a customized protocol to provide a sequence of functionalities.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a graphical user interface (GUI) for a colorimetry software product, a computer-implemented method for generating the GUI, and a system for performing the method.

Abstract: In order to improve colour quality control of paint coatings, described herein is a colour quality control server that is configured to provide a software distribution model, i.e. Software as a Service (SaaS). With the colour quality control server, the capability provided to a user is to use a collection of (web-)services which are responsible for web-based colour quality control running on a cloud infrastructure. These (web-)services are accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a web browser, a mobile app, or a desktop app.
