ColorLine

Dye factories were stuck in Excel hell — every team modeling emissions, water use, and recipes in different, fragile spreadsheets.

The result? No trust, zero alignment, and stalled innovation.

We built ColorLine, a real-time simulation platform that unified data, modelled environmental impact per recipe stage, and helped global factories make greener, cheaper, smarter decisions, along with saving them money.

🔧 Key Features

The system introduces a suite of powerful tools designed to improve simulation accuracy, user efficiency, and adoption across teams.

● Dashboard

• Displays KPI cards for CO₂, water usage, and cost over time
• Includes alerts for anomalies in emissions or incomplete simulations
• Offers AI-powered suggestions (e.g., “Try Enzyme X instead of Soda Ash”)

● Transition Tools

• Enables importing of existing Excel workflows to support smoother onboarding
• Features role-based permissions and access controls
• Includes inline validation to help prevent user errors before submission

● Simulation & Optimization

• Allows users to compare recipes against baselines with clear, color-coded deltas
• Offers a per-stage breakdown of cost, emissions, water, and energy
• Supports reusable templates for different fabric types and machine configurations

● Recipe Builder

• Models complex, multi-stage processes (e.g., pre-wash, dye bath, drying, etc.)
• Lets users input product dosage, temperature, water, and fabric-specific properties
• Organizes views via tabs for timeline, summaries, and per-stage configuration

📈 Impact and Results
