How Chemical Industry Challenges Relate to Data

Whatever your specialty chemistry area of focus, you need to develop new products to give your company and customers a competitive edge. Making commercially viable products is time-consuming if the way you handle data is not satisfying the rapidly changing demands of your business and the marketplace.

Five key challenges for innovators

Speed to market. It's essential to beat your competition in the race to market.
Process improvement. Speed must be balanced by attention to quality and risk management, ensuring the resulting products perform as planned.
Cost of materials. Cost and availability of materials must be factored in when selecting the best formulation to advance in the research pipeline.
Unmet market needs. Advanced materials must address emerging and evolving market needs to ensure customer adoption.
Intellectual property protection. A thorough review of the legal landscape is necessary to avoid future patent issues-and to protect your own IPs.

Data-driven testing and analysis help you answer key questions: Would modifying your existing formulations offer a better payoff? How can you optimize your synthesis or formulation process to increase yield while decreasing cost and time? Are the recommended manufacturing techniques environmentally sustainable?

Do any of these common internal challenges sound familiar? Data mismanagement can be found at
the root of each one.

Long discovery time - Directionless investigation relies on luck to produce novel formulations or modify existing ones to suit new applications or meet performance and cost parameters.
Time-consuming data search - Without clear organization, the sheer volume of formulations and ingredients makes search and retrieval of important details time- and labor-intensive.
Delayed work - Costly slowdowns can occur if scientists don't know what materials are available inhouse, what needs to be ordered, and what it should cost.
Difficulty meeting test criteria - Teams at each step of your product development pipeline need consistent data tracking to know that their ingredients and formulations meet the relevant standards.
Inefficient sample tracking - Scientists need a central, standardized system to catalogue samples and related results effectively, such as linking sample names and product data sheets to avoid errors.
Interference in testing - Inefficient management of people, samples, instruments, and other resources can hinder timely, high-quality testing.
Limited collaboration - Without advanced data collection and communication systems, it's hard to get a holistic view across all stakeholders, enable collaboration, and track progress across all programs to ask informed questions.
