In the competitive coatings industry, enhancing efficiency and accelerating the speed of innovation are key objectives. The digital paint formulation approach supports these goals by serving as a powerful tool for researchers.

Global industries continue to embrace digitalization at an ever-increasing speed. PCI’s Chief Editor, Kristin Johansson, interviewed an online chemical marketplace to gain insight surrounding digital transformation in the coatings industry.

The coatings formulation process looks a lot like it did 30 years ago, with spreadsheets, notebooks, and time-consuming rounds of hands-on testing. By combining powerful data and decades of knowledge, digital coatings formulation platforms help to enhance the formulation process, streamline testing, improve the customer experience, and more, revolutionizing the industry.

Digitalization is transforming many industries. How do paint and coatings suppliers effectively leverage digitalization? What are the pivotal strategic shifts required to succeed in the digital age? What synergies can be unlocked between digital innovation and legacy processes?
