On Demand In this webinar, Raphael Schaller, CTO of Collano, shares how his team envisioned their data to make it usable for AI-driven materials discovery. He reflects on what he would do differently if starting over, and how adopting the Citrine Platform has accelerated learning, collaboration, and innovation across the organization.
On Demand This webinar is designed for Enterprise Paints and Coatings leaders (Innovation, R&D, Product, Production) tasked with introducing AI, whether they are unsure where to start or have already launched pilots but struggle to scale. Attendees will learn common pitfalls of AI adoption and how experienced partners enable confident, scalable, and measurable impact in global Enterprise organizations.
Manufacturing is undergoing rapid transformation as digitalization, automation, advanced materials and application technologies continue to evolve and converge. This presentation examines those shifts through the lens of coatings, adhesives and sealants, with a focus on how they affect formulation, application, performance and sustainability.
From 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.
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.
