PPG announced the introduction of PPG VISUALIZID™ advanced 3D visualization software and the PPG DIGIMATCH™ digital color camera for easier and faster color matching in body shops. The advanced tools are the new components of the PPG LINQ™ end-to-end digital solution for the global refinish industry. With the PPG LINQ digital solution, refinish customers can streamline their repair process by using PPG's cloud-based platform and its interconnected digital hardware, software and innovative services.

The PPG DigiMatch multi-angle digital color camera helps body shop employees match color easy and fast. It features an ergonomic design that is lightweight and can be used with one hand. The camera's six imaging angles and six reflectance angles, provide color and texture information to help retrieve the correct formula matches quickly and efficiently.

PPG VisualizID software takes information from PPG DigiMatch or PPG's other spectrophotometers to help users find the best color match from PPG's extensive color portfolio. The launch of PPG VisualizID software and the PPG DigiMatch camera follow the PPG MOONWALK® system, which is the company's automated paint mixing system that launched in 2019. Additional components of the PPG LINQ system will be launched later this year.
