Overview

India’s chemical industry is rapidly transitioning from the production of commodity chemicals to a focus on sustainable, high-performance specialty chemicals. This brings challenges like global competition, stricter regulations, and pressure for safer, greener processes. To stay competitive, R&D must become more agile and innovation-centric. Despite rising interest in AI/ML and data-driven tools, challenges like fragmented data, lack of standardization, and knowledge silos persist. As a result, digital transformation is not just a choice, but a strategic necessity in process R&D.

This webinar will explore the impact of digital transformation and the critical role of digital systems as data generators, aggregators, and enablers of collaboration. It will highlight how streamlined scientific data capture, ease of information access and knowledge sharing can drive smarter decision-making and boost operational efficiency. The session will feature examples of standardized data capture, streamlined materials and knowledge management, and the use of analytics across Process R&D workflows

Key Discussion Points:

  • Sustainable, agile Process R&D
  • Experiment design and data capture
  • Workflow standardization and data integrity
  • Analytics dashboards for process insights
  • Collaboration and knowledge management
