Once board is made it must be printed by flexo, litho-lam or digital, where registration must hold within a fraction of a millimeter and color must match brand standards exactly. Registration drifts, plates and anilox wear, inks and substrates shift, and humidity moves everything.

The solution

The autonomous print-and-color agent

High-speed edge vision plus inline spectrophotometry detects misregistration, color deviation (ΔE to brand), streaks, hickeys, doctor-blade lines and voids at full press speed, then issues bounded closed-loop moves, registration correction, ink-key/color adjustment and defect holds, to keep every impression on-register and on-brand.

  • Full-speed registration and print-defect vision across flexo, litho and digital
  • Inline brand-color ΔE control with spectrophotometric feedback
  • Bounded closed-loop registration and ink/color correction
  • Color makeready pre-optimization with a full brand-color audit trail

Key features

What Chromata does

Defect vision

Streaks, hickeys, voids and misregister caught at full press speed.

Spectro color

Inline ΔE-to-brand control keeps color inside brand tolerance every impression.

Root-cause reasoning

Ties defects back to plate, anilox, ink, substrate and setpoint.

Brand audit trail

Every job’s color record is captured for approved-vendor programs.

In the ecosystem

How it composes into the plant

Chromata is the pressroom pillar. It consumes the board state from Corvex and feeds print-quality signals into makeready and downstream finishing.

  • Shares the plant-edge data flywheel
  • Uses cross-vendor machine & MES connectors
  • Runs on the common Jetson / Triton / NIM fabric
  • Validated by the Twinflo digital twin before every run

Color drift used to mean a rerun and an awkward call with the brand owner. Now it’s corrected before it leaves the press.

Answers

Questions converters ask

Can we run Chromata on a single line first?

Yes. Chromata deploys on one machine under the Line tier so you can measure a baseline, run in shadow mode, and switch on control as ROI proves out.

Does it work with our existing machine and vendor?

Foldeon is built for mixed fleets. Cross-vendor connectors integrate the machine, its PLC and your MES/OEE, no rip-and-replace.

How do operators stay in control?

You choose the autonomy level per workflow, shadow (recommend), assist (approve each move) or autonomous, and every decision is logged and auditable.

We’ll run Chromata in shadow mode against a real job and show the quality, waste and makeready curves.
