Webinar series celebrates Alchemite™ Suite
It’s a year since Alchemite™ Suite launched a new way to apply machine learning in R&D for chemicals, materials, and FMCG. That’s a year in which our customers have formulated winning products, faster, cut experimental workloads by 50-80%, and squeezed every drop of value from research data. We’re celebrating with a series of short 30 minute webinars.
10 Feb – Transforming R&D with Alchemite™ Suite
17 Feb – Faster formulation development
24 Feb – Design of experiments made easy
3 Mar – Maximize value from data for R&D efficiency
Formulation studies – now with added chemistry
There’s an exciting new feature for formulation scientists in the Alchemite™ machine learning software: when formulating multiple compounds together, Alchemite™ now understands their chemistry! Alchemite™ already offered a powerful, fast method for optimizing formulations based on factors such as the concentrations of different ingredients and the processing conditions. Now, it can also account for the effects of chemical structure as it builds and applies its machine learning models.
PlantSea on sustainable plastic alternatives
If you missed last month’s webinar on machine learning for sustainability, you can still catch up on the case study presented at that session. Sustainability innovator, PlantSea, discussed how:
Machine learning has cleansed data and identified key process parameters influencing formulation properties, helping to focus development work on productive pathways.
- Alchemite™ is being applied to optimize the quality and yield of natural seaweed polymers to replace petroleum-based plastics,
- A key application is to the soluble films used in laundry capsules, avoiding microplastics entering the environment,
- Machine learning has cleansed data and identified key process parameters influencing formulation properties, helping to focus development work on productive pathways.
New papers from Intellegens scientists
Our Science Team have been busy contributing to the scientific literature around machine learning. Working with collaborators at Equivital, Coventry University, and the University of Cambridge, our team shared new science applying deep learning to an important application in physiological monitoring. Meanwhile, our Dr Charlie Phillips has co-authored a paper looking at the potential of machine learning for oligonucleotide therapeutics.
Blog – Plotting the way to FMCG success
On this month’s blog, we discuss one of the biggest ways that science impacts everyday life: by improving the products that fill our homes. At Intellegens, we’ve seen a surge in interest in applying machine learning to formulation, re-formulation, and packaging problems in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). How are FMCG scientists applying the technology, and why?
Talk SmartLab in Amsterdam
Find us at SmartLab Europe in February, discussing the use of machine learning to guide, analyze, and design experiments in areas including life sciences, chemicals, FMCG, and materials. Connect with us to find out how our Alchemite™ technology helps users to reduce experimental workloads by 50-80%. Options for integration and automation with your lab equipment and workflows make Alchemite™ a powerful digital transformation tool.
Connect with us at Future Food-Tech
We’ll be exhibiting at Future Food-Tech in San Francisco in March, a major event for innovators in the food and beverage sector. Connect with us to find out how development teams are using AI to: design formulated products, gaining deep insight into what controls properties; optimize ingredients and processes, responding to market and regulatory requirements; and focus experiment, achieving better results for 50-80% less time and cost.
Joel gets agentic in the jungle
Our head of Agentic AI, Joel Strickland, is currently working remotely while travelling through South and Central America. Alongside working on the ongoing development of our agentic assistant tools for R&D, he’s also been reflecting on what it really takes to build trustworthy AI for science. In this blog article, he shares some insights from an unusual location…
Intellegens welcomes Sean
Intellegens is delighted to welcome Sean Kiernan as he joins our leadership team with responsibility for sales, marketing, and commercial relations with customers and partners. Sean will apply nearly forty years of experience in technology businesses. His focus will be ensuring that Intellegens engages even more effectively with enterprises in chemicals, materials, FMCG, and beyond.
