Innovative resin development through digital material profiling

 
Digital transformation in the coatings industry offers more and more ways to improve the development of coatings, get better products to market more quickly and to meet customers demand on personalization, sustainability, and efficiency. To embrace digital transformation, we at BASF not only focus on digitalization, and automation but also on bringing value from the high-quality data being generated. We believe that the data-driven innovation will unlock new capabilities that would completely change the nature of what a company is and can do. In this presentation, we would like to give you a glimpse on how we at BASF benefit from the state-of-art technology. Moving from trial and error to a precise data driven models not only to reduce time-to-market but also enables us to deliver innovative and fast paced product development. In the Digital Material Profiling Lab, we are generating automatically high quality, standardized, and comparable application data across all projects and time. A lot of time and effort is devoted in designing the robotic scanner and selecting the appropriate application test method sensors to best serve the research and development.
