Transforming R&D Processes and Fast-tracked Product Development Using AI
To increase the efficiency and future-readiness of its innovation processes Adhesive Technologies was looking for a solution to connect the different dots and to close the existing gaps of information sharing. Until then, the R&D teams used different solutions for data storage around the globe — including local spreadsheets, hard drives, electronic lab notebooks, and paper lab notebooks. With the introduction of a centralized digital system for managing raw material characteristics, formulations, inventory, and task sharing, the business unit aimed to improve several areas:
Enabling innovators to access all data and information within one single platform instead of using localized systems around the world would save precious time, avoid double efforts and increase the speed of the innovation processes. Leveraging artificial intelligence as a future driver for innovation, which would require clean, harmonized, structured data.
One application in the adhesive & sealant industry was Albert Invent’s AI technology partnership with Henkel. Responding to increased customer expectations for transparency of sustainability data to underline Henkel´s ambition as a leader in sustainability would require a comprehensive platform for setting realistic objectives and measuring progress.
Facilitating state-of-the-art technology to respond to a “digital-first” approach of today`s university graduates would be necessary to attract and keep the brightest talent.
Topic Alert: Albert Invent will present at the ASC 2025 Convention in Jacksonville, FL April 16, 2025. The title of the talk is “Simulating Adhesive Development with AI-Drives Inverse Design and Active Learning”
