Systems and methods for a real time configuring, ordering and manufacturing of color related products
A unique, user generated product (UGP) configurator, ordering and manufacturing system that utilizes a mobile device or other digital device, to capture a specific color or multiple colors, by way of an image capture converted from a RGB profile and converted into a manufacturable, mixable formula for future mixing and filling in the system specific processing line for enamel product is described. The user defined final product chosen by an individual user, through the system's user interface that runs on all web enabled digital devices which includes mobile, tablet, computer or other color capture user interface connected to the internet by way of a browser, where the individual identifies a color, type of material to be manufactured, size of container and then orders a finished goods product on their phone or other digital device, then manufactured or processed on a system specific equipment platform, using a computer controlled system that identifies an individual order by way of a variable and unique bar code identifier, where containers move down a proprietary conveyor line to be filled by a series of individually powered, micro-droplet dispensers whose canisters have been filled with specific colored paints from a system defined palette of colors and additives, where those individual paints are mixed to match the color that the individual specified on the system specific user interface.
1. A method for manufacturing color dependent products, the method comprising:
capturing an image by a camera device on an electronic device;
displaying the image on a display of the electronic device;
receiving a selection, from a user, of an area of the image that is being displayed on the electronic device;
determining a color pixel data, based on the area, to be later manufactured into a color product;
adjusting the color pixel data based on the electronic device;
converting the color pixel data to a manufacturable formula for the color product;
custom manufacturing the color product based on the manufacturable formula;
wherein adjusting of the color pixel data is performed with a color model that is dependent on a type of the electronic device; and
wherein converting the color pixel data to the manufacturable formula further comprises determining an amount of color elements based on the color model.
2. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising distributing and storing of customer data, the manufacturing_formula and order data for active and archival use.
3. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising communicating acknowledgement, acceptance or denial of an order to a customer through the electronic device.
4. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising accepting user information including credit card information through secure means to process a payment for the manufacturing.
5. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising sending of responsive text messages and email messages to the electronic device that contain a status of the manufacturing to customers.
6. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising displaying one or more additional selectable colors, based on one or more elements that affect a quality of the capturing of the image, that are adjustable by the user.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more elements comprise ambient light at a time of the capturing of the image.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising naming the color product with a product name by a digital tool; and
wherein naming further comprises creating a unique label, based on the color pixel data, for conveying product information to a manufacturing facility.
