BYK-Gardner USA has released its new Retail Color System II (RCS II) with the Paint Brain, the next generation in retail paint color systems for dispensing and color matching paint.

The RCS II connects the entire retail paint center with one central controller, known as the Paint Brain, to measure and analyze the system operations for efficiency and cost savings.  With a foundation of color matching, RCS II measures uptime and ensures the equipment is properly maintained while reducing mistakes, increasing profits and providing data-driven feedback.

The RCS II system was developed by observing, listening and interviewing over 100 retail paint locations.

“Our vision has always been to create leading edge technology and solutions that guarantee top performance but at the same time follow our customers’ wish to keep it simple,” says Christopher Ivins, business line manager retail paint point of sale for BYK-Gardner USA.

The system consists of The Paint Brain computer, RCS II paint formulation/lookup software and auto-match IV 45/0 bench top spectrophotometer with optional dispenser and shaker. The RCS II provides a host of metrics through an easy-to-read secure dashboard for store managers, regional managers and leadership.
