Formulation 4.0 (2024) continues the story of bringing digital to all aspect of formulation and looks at how Industry 4.0 is changing the formulation industry.   

Seemingly overnight, the digital world has begun to merge with the physical, as we find ourselves amidst the fourth industrial revolution. Ubiquitous, fast data processing is unlocking more autonomous robots and ever-smarter automation that paves the way for a cleaner, brighter future. AI is already disrupting the ways we work, live and play - as 100 million ChatGPT users can testify. So what will happen when this revolution collides with Formulation? And how do formulators and manufacturers prepare themselves to step into this new frontier?  For the third time, FST will hold its Formulation 4.0 (2024) event to try to address these questions.

Topics Include: Digitisation * Automation and autonomous discovery * Data analytics and data management * AI and Machine learning * Virtual experiments (computer simulation and modelling) * Industry 4.0’s digital twin
