See Full DescriptionFrom discovery to design to launch, coatings R&D is becoming increasingly data-driven. This session will walk through how AI can add value at every step of the formulation process.
At the start of a new project, AI discovery tools help formulators search institutional knowledge with natural language, immediately surfacing relevant past work. In the lab, AI-guided design of experiments helps plan the most efficient path through a new design space, while inverse design models suggest formulation candidates most likely to hit target properties. Beyond R&D, AI can be deployed externally, turning a manufacturer's product portfolio into a 24/7 technical sales channel for customers.
Together, these capabilities show how AI compounds value across the full arc of innovation, from the first experiment to the final product.

Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Statistical Modeling aren't interchangeable — they solve different problems at different stages of development. Use the wrong one and you're led astray. Use the right one and you compress months of R&D into weeks.
In this session, attendees will be presented with:- An overview of three key technologies - Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Statistical Modeling
- A framework and concrete examples on when to use each tool
- See how these technologies can be applied in coatings R&D on an actual use case
- Understand the minimum technical and data requirements required to be able to run AI successfully
- A set of ROI calculations to ensure you’re getting appropriate benefits associated with the investment
