Enhancing Digital Color Matching with Refinity LightAssist

At Automechanika 2026, Glasurit showcases how the body shop of the future is taking shape today. Under the theme of “Driven by Speed. Defined by Results”, visitors experience that refinish will not be defined by individual products alone, but by how technologies, digital color solutions, processes and expertise work together for tangible business outcomes – from faster processes and improved operational efficiency to greater sustainability and long-term competitiveness. One example of this integrated approach is Refinity, Surventis' digital ecosystem connecting data, processes and technologies across the repair journey.

To help Glasurit body shops manage the entire refinishing process more efficiently, Surventis provides Refinity®, its cloud-based digital platform that connects products, services and business solutions in one ecosystem. Within Refinity, the Color module supports painters with color identification, retrieval and match evaluation throughout the color matching process.

Building on these capabilities, Surventis is now introducing LightAssist, a further enhancement to the visualization in ImagePLUS , LightAssist adds an intuitive visualization mode that enhances the visibility of subtle differences in color, texture and effect, making match candidates easier to assess and compare on screen. By enhancing the visibility of these differences, LightAssist helps painters evaluate match candidates with greater confidence and make faster, more informed decisions. The functionality complements painter expertise and supports a more efficient digital 
color matching process.

Refinity digital color solutions help Glasurit body shop managers and painters to speed up the color identification process with an increased intuitive high-quality visualization and accuracy. With on-screen visualized color retrieval, complex data interpretation is eliminated, while real-time comparisons reduce spray-outs and boost efficiency. Enhanced by spectral curve analysis and precise detection of effect particles and coarseness, it refines results even further, ensuring the perfect color match with minimal material waste. 

As automation gains relevance in collision repair, Robotics is seen as a natural extension of the end-to-end digital color process. Within the Refinity® ecosystem – the digital ecosystem for managing the body shop business – digital color scanning, matching, mixing and workflow management already support efficient and consistent repair processes. Robotics adds a further step by connecting digital process control with physical paint application.

By combining coatings expertise with digital workflows and application know-how, Refinity will support the development of more efficient, consistent and future-ready repair operations globally.
