X-Rite Announces IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro with Full ColorCert Integration and G7 Press Control Capabilities


IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro automated scanning solutions

New IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro enable seamless integration with ColorCert

The new IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro are part of a powerful G7®-aligned workflow that provides press operators with performance visibility, real-time guidance on how to achieve the desired colors quickly, and seamless reporting back to the ColorCert Scorecard Server.

X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC, global leaders in color science and technology, have enhanced their automated scanning solutions with the announcement of IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro for seamless integration with the ColorCert Suite. The Pro versions offer package printers and converters one-click integration to see and report print results to brand owners.

IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro deliver instant feedback to the press operator about job performance after each color measurement, allowing print operators to make immediate adjustments to correct color drift. These new Pro versions also enable printers to implement and manage Idealliance G7® process control guidelines and ISO print specifications for confidence that each job is delivered according to industry standards and customer requirements.

“As more consumer package goods (CPG) brands implement packaging quality control programs and monitor color tolerances, converters and package printers need color measurement solutions that integrate directly with scorecard systems,” said Ray Cheydleur, Printing and Imaging Product Portfolio Manager, X-Rite. “The new IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro are part of a powerful G7®-aligned workflow that provides press operators with performance visibility, real-time guidance on how to achieve the desired colors quickly, and seamless reporting back to the ColorCert Scorecard Server.”

“Brand owners and printers continue to partner to advance global print quality programs and scorecard integration creates significant opportunity to drive transformative change across the entire graphic arts supply chain,” said Mike Grady, Vice President, Global Partnerships, Idealliance. “G7® Press Control System Certification not only helps improve print quality, but it also helps printers simplify workflow processes and capture valuable time savings.”

Connected Workflow for Quality Control Reporting

IntelliTrax2 Pro is a non-contact, automated color measurement solution ideal for high-end, high-speed print and converting operations. The eXact Auto-Scan Pro combines the portability of a handheld spectrophotometer with the speed of an automated scanning system to help converters automate the measurement of all patches of a color bar.

Full integration between ColorCert Suite and IntelliTrax2 Pro or eXact Auto-Scan Pro allows press operators to easily implement an end-to-end connected workflow solution for daily press side scanning and scorecard reporting into brand packaging quality control programs. Now featuring Idealliance G7® Press Control System Certification, IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro enable operators to fully leverage the advantages of G7® based production.

The new IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro provides users:

  • Immediate scoring at the press on job quality and compliance to support customer requirements.
  • Seamless connectivity to the ColorCert Scorecard Server, which saves the operator time by not having to switch between software.
  • One-click score submission directly from IntelliTrax2 or eXact Auto-Scan to ColorCert, which allows the press operator to easily report results to brand owners, confirm compliance, and speed approval processes.
  • Guidance on how to achieve the best color match quickly and efficiently to reduce makeready times.
  • Easy job set-up with targets preloaded, saving operator time, reducing rework and creating a zero-mistake workflow for job set-up.
  • G7 process control and enhanced ISO support ensure printers are meeting industry print specifications with confidence.

The integrated IntelliTrax2 Pro, eXact Auto-Scan Pro and ColorCert solution can be used with PantoneLIVE™, a cloud-based database that enables printers to access spectrally-defined Pantone® and brand spot color standards for accurate color regardless of substrate, printing technology, or ink type. X-Rite NetProfiler can also be used throughout the workflow to verify and optimize performance of color measurement devices. The total solution also supports closed-loop solutions from Rutherford, Digital Information / CMYK, and Printflow to help converters further reduce makeready time and waste.

“Implementing a color management solution from X-Rite with industry-leading hardware and software that is designed to work together makes it easier for converters to adopt and maintain packaging quality control programs. The added benefit is print owners and operators have one point of contact for both support and training,” continued Cheydleur.

IntelliTrax2 Pro and eXact Auto-Scan Pro is now available. Current users of IntelliTrax2 and eXact Auto-Scan can contact X-Rite for more information about upgrade options.

MULTACOM Completes Rigorous SOC 2 Type 2 Certification for Data Center Security and Availability


“We are committed to putting the security and IT needs of our clients first in everything we do and this SOC 2 Type 2 certification proves that,” said Kiarash Jahangiri, chief executive officer at MULTACOM.

MULTACOM, the web host that makes the net work, is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully completed Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 certification for security and availability. This certification reaffirms the importance MULTACOM places on information security policies and procedures with a specific focus on employee responsibility and accountability, appropriate user access, escalation procedures, risk mitigation, ongoing network monitoring, incident reporting, and continuous system operations. The Company’s data center clients can feel confident that MULTACOM places their safety and the safety of their data as its highest priority.

Conducted by an independent auditor, the examination of MULTACOM’s data center operations was carried out in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The comprehensive assessment has resulted in a publicly available auditor’s report in which no deviations to the strict evaluation standards were noted. MULTACOM has consistently maintained this high level of service and security across all previous SOC 2 Type 2 audits. The Independent Service Auditor’s Report on Controls at a Service Organization Relevant to Security and Availability determined that the company’s “operating controls were suitably designed” and the organization “demonstrates a commitment to integrity and ethical values.”

The Trust Services Criteria of Security and Availability, Applicable Criteria, Related Controls, and Tests of Controls are exhibited through the Company’s design, development, and implementation of strict employee procedures and system operations for its colocation services. MULTACOM clients across the Company’s three Los Angeles, California data centers can rest assured that their data is maintained in a highly secure facility.

“We are committed to putting the security and IT needs of our clients first in everything we do and this SOC 2 Type 2 certification proves that,” said Kiarash Jahangiri, chief executive officer at MULTACOM. “I am so proud of the high level of personal responsibility our team consistently maintains on behalf of our clients. Their ongoing effort and dedication are inspiring.”

A SOC 2 audit analyzes a service organization’s design and operating effectiveness of procedures and system controls and reveals any compliance insufficiencies. While a SOC 2 Type 1 assessment is a snapshot of a single point in time, a SOC 2 Type 2 compliance assessment evaluates if a company has maintained consistently high standards over an entire year. MULTACOM’s SOC 2 Type 2 certification with no deviations noted demonstrates the company’s dedication to both employee and data center excellence.

MULTACOM is focused on providing all businesses from small start-ups to large enterprises with the resources and IT services required to position their business for success. The Company’s suite of services includes colocation, dedicated servers, shared hosting, bandwidth, and IP services, virtual private networks (VPN), and managed services with 100% power and network availability, around-the-clock on-site security, and 24/7/365 technical support.

With a current total of four ENTERPRISE editions, the latest PAFnow version offers specialized prebuilt analysis dashboards that are tailored precisely to the corresponding business applications, thus significantly simplifying and accelerating use for specific areas of application and industries:


  • The RPA (Robotic Process Automation) Edition has pre-built dashboards that support companies during all RPA project phases, from the identification of automation-relevant processes to the implementation and evaluation of automation.
  • The BPM (Business Process Management) Edition supports BPM consultants and organizations in cross-organizational process improvement projects. Dedicated BPM dashboards help understand and benchmark business processes, find compliance violations, and define best practices.
  • The OPEX (Operational Excellence) Edition helps “in-house consultants” to identify repetition, measure process performance, monitor the progress and success of improvement activities, standardize processes, and achieve improved right-first-time rates, among other things.
  • The AUDIT Edition provides complete visibility into the real processes to improve audit performance in terms of time, quality, and accuracy. Internal audit departments gain 100% visibility and can focus on potential risk, control and compliance weaknesses instead of spending time and effort on understanding process flows through interviews, workshops and sample-based walkthroughs.

Improved performance and optimized PAFnow Process Explorer

PAFnow has also received an extensive performance boost. This is particularly evident in the Case Viewer. Rendering for visualization is over 50 percent faster than before. Overall, this leads to a significantly better performance of PAFnow.

In addition, users can now access even more functions thanks to an optimized PAFnow Process Explorer. This increases the variety of display perspectives and enables even more precise insights into the processes. PAFnow now has a total of 12 Process Mining Custom Visuals.

Positive feedback on the new version has already been received from Martin Frank, Data Science & Plant Analytics Team at Constantia Flexibles, a leading global manufacturer of flexible packaging products and labels. He and his team are particularly excited about the implementation of the improved Process Explorer: “PAF has taken direct reference to our customer request in the optimized Explorer and implemented it in an even better form.”

Dr. Timo Nolle, CTO of PAF, finds his development strategy confirmed: “The Process Mining success of our customers is the focus of PAF. That’s why we take customer feedback and suggestions for improvement very seriously. This also helps us in product development to continuously improve PAFnow bit by bit every day”.

Simplified administration and redesigned Lead Time Calculator

A Subscription and Session Manager is about to be launched. This will allow companies to conveniently manage their own licenses and user rights management. This ensures efficient use of licenses and compliance-compliant use of the software.

Another innovation currently being implemented is the Lead Time Calculator with drag-and-drop functionality. With this, the lead times for any process sections can be calculated and visualized intuitively, flexibly and completely data-driven in just a few steps. This not only allows the average duration of the process to be identified, but also any outliers or bottlenecks.                                        

In this way, the Lead Time Calculator follows the idea behind the Event Filter, which already features drag-and-drop functions since the Summer Update 2020. This means that a simply created target model – based on the selected desired actual variants without manual modeling – can be used to very quickly and efficiently find variants in which gross violations occur in the process flow.

What is PAFnow?

PAFnow is a Process Mining application fully integrated into Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft 365 for the analysis, visualization and optimization of almost any process. This gives PAF a unique selling point and a clear competitive advantage: “Most companies are not aware that with established BI platforms such as Microsoft Power BI and Office 365 they are already in an immediate position to make process knowledge from data automatically accessible to the responsible employees. An additional platform solution for Process Mining usually first creates more effort, generates acceptance problems among users and leads to a delayed or even unattainable return on investment,” explains PAF CEO Tobias Rother.

With PAFnow, on the other hand, these problems do not arise in the first place: “In our experience, the use of a Process Mining application within an existing platform reduces the effort from start-up to process analysis to establishing it in the business departments by up to 95% compared to proprietary Process Mining tools. With PAFnow, it usually takes less than a week to directly optimize business processes,” explains Tobias Rother based on his project experience with PAFnow.
