No Room for Error: How Datacolor Helps Y.R.C. Deliver Innovation to Leading Global Brands

When your job is to supply products to world-famous brands in the textile industry, there’s very little room for error.

No business knows this better than Thailand-based textile mill Y.R.C. If customer names like Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Decathlon don’t fully convey the volume of Y.R.C.’s operations, their production capacity certainly will.

With advanced production facilities in Thailand, they are capable of producing 1,100 tons of knitted fabric, 400,000 yards of woven fabrics, and 2.5 million yards of warp knitted fabrics per month.

But you don’t become a leading textile manufacturer based on volume capacity alone. That’s why, for over 30 years, Y.R.C. has prided itself on being a textile technology leader, adhering to the highest standards for quality and speed of delivery. Products are inspected for quality at every step of the manufacturing process and adhere to strict environmental standards.

The large-scale repeatability required for an industry leading mill

Smaller environmental footprint

An Impossible Undertaking—Without Digital Color Management

“Fast, accurate and reliable.” Those are the words Y.R.C. used to describe Datacolor’s spectrophotometers and software. Y.R.C. operates four dye fabric houses, one yarn dying facility and one printing facility. Without a well-executed, digital approach to standardization, this could easily lead to inconsistent color, missed deadlines and exorbitant costs for rejected samples—not to mention putting a strain on the company’s critical customer relationships.

Y.R.C. knew they needed to partner with a company with high standards for repeatability and inter-instrument agreement. They also knew they needed a global support network dedicated to ensuring they were equipped with the right tools to serve a high-profile customer base. Datacolor’s local presence also meant that our team would be there whenever they needed support.

With the support of Color Experts, Datacolor’s partner in Thailand, Y.R.C. implemented a digital color communication strategy that would ensure the highest level of repeatability—no matter the color or dyeing location. Datacolor solutions help Y.R.C.:

Dramatically reduce sample costs
Reduce conflicts caused by visual communication
Achieve the level of repeatability needed for a mill with a production capacity of their size
Avoid unnecessary dyeing and achieve more first shot matches
which leads to cutting costs, saving a significant amount of time, reducing water use and combating air pollution
