AI-Enhanced Product Recommendation in the Field of Adhesives and Ingredients
Advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping the way adhesives and ingredients are selected across industries. This presentation outlines how AI-driven tools are enabling a more efficient, accurate, and context-aware product recommendation process.
The foundation of this transformation is Product Master Data (PMD). PMD centralizes, digitizes, and structures product information, including regulatory and sustainability data, opening doors to new capabilities for AI assistants and smart material selection. As a result, formulators can accelerate formulation development and bring products to market faster than ever.
