ABSTRACT
Efficient formulations, stable processes, and sustainable raw material selection—data is the key to better products in the coatings and paint industry. However, in practice, valuable information often remains unused: formulation data, measurements, and quality analyses are scattered across Excel sheets, LIMS systems, or standalone device software. Lack of interoperability and time-consuming manual processes hinder data-driven decision-making.
In this webinar, discover how a Material Intelligence platform can address these challenges:
✔ Common issues in formulation and quality control – How data silos hinder innovation. ✔ FAIR data principles in practice – How manufacturers can leverage data effectively. ✔ Data integration from measuring devices and formulation systems – A foundation for informed decisions. ✔ From fragmentation to Material Intelligence – How a centralized platform optimizes processes.
