Digital R&D
Welcome to the Future of Materials Discovery
What Is Digital R&D?
Digital R&D refers to the integration of digital technologies – like artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cloud platforms – into traditional research and development processes. For materials R&D, this can mean replacing months of manual experimentation and fragmented research with:
- Centralized access to large-scale, curated materials data
- Automated candidate screening across thousands of compounds
- Predictive insights based on material properties, sustainability impact, and performance
- Decision-making tools tailored for scientists
Common Challenges in Traditional R&D:
Inconsistent or hard-to-find materials data
Long trial & error cycles
Disconnected communication across departments
Difficulty staying compliant and sustainable under pressure
Limited visibility into alternative material candidates
Expert input needed
Why Digital R&D Matters
Digital R&D empowers R&D teams and scientists to:
- Faster Discovery: Screen thousands of materials in seconds with AI support and identify promising material candidates faster
- Save Costs: Increase virtual team capacity and reduce costs for lab materials & their logistics
- Reduce CO2 Emissions: Reduce R&D team’s CO₂ footprint by reducing chemical waste from lab experiments
- Enable Focus: More time for R&D team to work smarter and focus on important tasks
