From fragmented data to data-driven development.
Formulation data existed, but was barely usable. How a mid-sized adhesives and sealants manufacturer changed that.
The result: ~50% fewer lab tests.
Too many files.
Too little visibility.
The R&D team worked with dozens of raw materials per formulation.
Experiments were documented across Word files and Excel sheets without structure or consistency.
Information was there, but difficult to find.So teams tested materials again. And development took longer than necessary.
All data. One system. Instantly accessible.
LabV mapped the company’s existing development structure: raw materials with batches, properties and data sheets; formulations with process parameters; test methods and results.
No change in how teams work. No loss of expert knowledge.Just data that can actually be used.
Familiar structure, new possibilities
Existing formulation documentation is reflected in LabV. Raw materials, formulations (1K, 2K, 3K) and process parameters follow the team’s established way of working. No new logic to learn.
Targeted search instead of repeated testing
Starting from a raw material, all related formulations and projects can be identified.Fuzzy search suggests the closest matches if no exact result is available.
Clear structure for every R&D area
Raw materials, formulations and results are organised and filtered by product area.Each team only sees what is relevant. No searching across unrelated projects, no noise from irrelevant data.
Foundation for AI-supported development
Structured, connected data enables formulation suggestions and prediction of material properties such as viscosity based on existing experimental data.
What the R&D team achieved
The numbers speak for themselves
fewer lab tests by systematically using existing experimental data instead of repeating tests
for raw materials, formulations, process parameters and test results — fully connected and searchable
“The goal was to move away from fragmented data towards development built on existing knowledge. LabV enabled exactly that.”
