Building a digital roadmap for your lab of the future
Digital technologies offer significant opportunities to accelerate innovation in industrial R&D, but success requires more than adopting new tools. At Quaker Houghton, we are taking a practical approach to digital transformation by improving knowledge management, enhancing collaboration, strengthening data foundations, and applying AI-enabled capabilities to support technical problem solving. This presentation will share lessons from our journey, including the importance of data readiness, user adoption, governance, and organizational change. We will discuss opportunities and challenges in integrating digital capabilities into established workflows and share practical considerations for organizations building a scalable roadmap for the lab of the future.
