LANSAN: Artificial intelligence AI is changing the way it develops its products.

LANXESS
, a global chemicals company, is committed to expanding the use of artificial intelligence (
AI
) in product development and has launched a pre-oxide system research expansion project.
AI accelerates the development of "privately customized" formulation design
. AI
applications are designed to provide "privately customized" solutions tailored to the specific requirements of the customer, and are designed faster and more efficiently. Lansheng Polyurethane Systems focused on the application of
AI
technology and worked closely with
AI
Technology
Citrine Informatics
, a U.S.

.
early in the project, LANSS expanded its pre-adjum formula database. During this time, the company's data and process technologists used
Citrine Informatics
's artificial intelligence platform to further enrich the company's recipe database. It involves association of existing empirical measurement data with the expertise of process technologists and chemical algorithms to calculate other measurement values. This means that only a small amount of actual assay work is required to validate
the
ai-based operations. Lansheng's data and process technologists will then test how
AI
can be used to predict the reliability of optimized formulations to meet customer specific requirements for product performance.
Eckert
, head of
's polyurethane systems business, said"If the next test is successful, we will be able to meet customer requirements faster and more effectively." With
AI
assistive technologies, our existing formulation design skills will be enhanced, that is, while some formulation systems are not currently part of our portfolio, AI will enable us to quickly know what to do and how to do it.

. AI Technology Extension Knowledge Domain
So far, chemical researchers have developed new product formulations based on the characteristics of existing products, largely based on their expertise and years of work experience. Artificial intelligence is expected to help them expand their knowledge base and significantly reduce the amount of research and development-related experimental work.
has a certain level of
. AI
application experience. In a
pilot project with
Citrine Informatics
, LANC uses
AI
technology to optimize fiberglass to further enhance the performance of LANC's high-performance plastics. Moreover,
AI
can reduce the
development period of formula design by more than
, and customers can get better "privately customized" product solutions in less time. The partnership between
Citrine Informatics
and LANXESS Polyurethane Systems reflects the growing role of digital technology in product development, according to
Jörg Hellwig
, head of the digital program at LANXESS, noting that
most employees who are already using
artificial intelligence can't imagine going back to the way they worked in the past. The application of digital technology is increasingly becoming LANSA's standard mode of work.

LANXESS launched its digital program in
in
and has established a dedicated operations team, led by Chief Digital Officer
Jörg Hellwig
, and reporting directly to
Mattias Zachert
, Chairman of LANXESS' Corporate Management Committee. The program's core business is to develop digital business models, introduce new technologies into the value chain, develop and leverage big data, and train employees in digital expertise.
