Understanding, simulating, and specifically optimizing complex formulations
The development of paints, coatings, and other complex formulations is a multidimensional challenge: color, raw materials, product properties, process parameters, costs, and regulatory requirements all influence one another.
Traditional development processes often require numerous laboratory tests and extensive expert knowledge. Valuable data and experience are available, but are often not systematically utilized to make better decisions.
Typical challenges
- Complex interactions between color, other properties, and manufacturing processes
- Time-consuming and costly trial-and-error cycles
- High dependence on experienced specialists
- Existing data and expert knowledge can only be used to a limited extent
- Conflicting objectives between quality, cost, sustainability, and process requirements
- Increasing pressure from innovation, the market, and regulation
Our solution: Turning knowledge into informed decisions
ai-predict combines measurement data, physicochemical models, expert knowledge and AI to create customer-specific decision and optimization solutions.
Our approach to Deep Knowledge Integration (DKI) makes it possible to model complex relationships, virtually simulate formulations and processes, evaluate alternatives, and calculate suitable formulation proposals.
Instead of purely “black-box” results, users receive transparent analyses, recommendations for action, and information about technical limitations and conflicting objectives.
This makes expert knowledge accessible and scalable for different user groups: from development through the laboratory to production. The underlying models and solutions can be adapted step by step to new requirements and areas of application.
For paints, coatings, and complex formulations—and much more!
