> OPCENTER RD&L FORMULA WORKBENCH

Where the digital twin of the formula comes to life and multiple simulations can be run on different aspects before taking a formula to real-life trials.

  • Fully integrated formula development workspace
  • Design and optimize products in a virtual environment
  • Formula comparison
  • Early regulatory assessment during development
  • Reduces trial costs

With supplier collaboration, the supplier can participate in product data management and the customer is not only assured that all necessary product information is available in the system from the first time, but also avoids having to re-enter all the information into their system.

With the electronic notebook, all project-related data can be stored in a central location, along with project plan milestones and tasks assigned to different people in the organisation. Having this notebook allows using product data from the specification management component in a project, simulating formulations in the formula workbench and launching real-life trials with quality analysis in LIMS, all linked together in the project hierarchy within the notebook.

Product Formulation

It will facilitate the capture of market inputs and further drive the product development process. Being integrated, it is easy to gather any product data information available in the system, as well as reuse information from previous projects in the notebook. Launching formulas in the Formula Workbench allows real-time verification of how a new formula meets set objectives and regulations. Involving suppliers in developments enables collaboration and greater efficiencies. By analysing trials in the laboratory, quality standards can be established for communication with other commercial systems.
