This year we initiated our ‘DigiReDI’ programme aimed at further digitalising and automating our research and development (‘R&D’) processes in combination with the development of algorithms and the introduction of AI. This work will help to make our product development faster, more efficient and more sophisticated.
Our investment will connect all our lab equipment to our bespoke digital R&D processes, enabling more automated data processing and analysis. This eliminates a significant amount of manual data handling, with early trials seeing the time needed to compile the sample data and complete the analyses cut from hours to seconds.
Digitalisation will also support our enzyme screening methods by more effectively enabling the processing of ever-increasing volumes of data. Furthermore, new digital processes can pull data together into useful formats, for example detailed reports required by external regulators responsible for approving new enzyme products.
As a result, our researchers are freer to focus more on the product development itself, the interpretation of results and the fine tuning of experiments to produce successful outcomes, as well as being able to run more product projects in parallel.
Looking ahead, DigiReDI will create the digital infrastructure to enable us to integrate new software and technologies as they evolve into our further digitised R&D so that we can maintain pace with new scientific advances. We believe this digital infrastructure will significantly improve our product development capabilities in the years to come.
