Lab-to-Plant Program: For decades, exchanging data along the lab-to-plant-to-manufacturing continuum has relied on documents that are subject to increasing regulatory oversight. This tends to increase R&D costs, lengthen cycle times, and reduce adaptability to business changes. Symyx's Lab-to-Plant program digitizes the exchange of laboratory data, compiling all-electronic records in the lab which can then be appropriately scaled and exchanged with downstream pilot plant and manufacturing systems.

• Improve the productivity of process, formulation, and analytical scientists by 15-25% through improved systems integration and less dependency on single-point integrations
• Extend the usefulness of data through the entire lab-plant-manufacturing process by not burying data in documents that get archived with little business value
• Achieve predictive modeling and quality improvements by incorporating Quality by Design and Process Analytical Technology principles
• Incorporate lab automation and material property collaboration for better use, reference, and publication of analytical and physicochemical property data
