A process for forming paint panel color standards in which a multiplicity of panels are painted and marked with a man/machine readable ID number; the improvement used with this process is as follows: (1) electronically determining the ID number of each panel and measuring each panel color coordinate values and feeding this information to a computer which establishes a criteria for various panel quality standards; (2) sorting the panels by electronically determining panel ID number and feeding the number to the computer which signals a robot to place the panel with a group of panels having the same quality standard.

An improved process for forming paint panel color standards wherein a multiplicity of panels are each coated with a paint and dried and each panel is marked with a separate identification (ID) number; the improvement used therewith comprises (1) electronically determining the ID number of each panel

An improved process for forming paint panel color standards wherein a multiplicity of panels are each coated with a paint and dried and each panel is marked with a separate identification (ID) number; the improvement used therewith comprises (1) electronically determining the ID number of each panel with a readout device and measuring color co-ordinate values of each panel with a color measuring instrument using an electromechanical robot to move the panel to the readout device and then to the color measuring device and feeding the ID number and color coordinate values to a computer which assimilates the values and establishes criteria based on these values for various panel quality standards categories; (2) sorting panels using an electromechanical robot to move the panels to a readout device that electronically reads the panel ID number and feeds the ID number to the computer which determines the quality standard category of the panel and feeds this information to the robot which then moves the panel to a groups of panels that are within the same quality standard category.
