Beiersdorf chose Chemspeed Technologies’ automated product development platform to help tackle the growing complexity resulting from the environmental role of raw materials as well as the fast-changing trends in the cosmetics industry. 

After a thorough screening, we have identified Chemspeed’s robotic platform as the best suitable solution to handle our complex formulations and raw materials whilst at the same time enabling a real-time monitoring of all process parameters. With the robot, we are gaining in-depth knowledge of our formula properties and characteristics which allows us to reduce the quantity of scale-up trials and shortening the time to market.

The high flexibility in combination of modules and tools in the platform was an additional reason for us to choose Chemspeed Technologies as they enable a precise tailoring of the machine to our needs. With it, we run multiple formulations simultaneously, which is a clear benefit in areas where repetitive tasks usually require a lot of manual effort and take up time. The high degree of precision even on milligram scale, the traceability of each step, the easy to use software based on drag-and-drop functions together with the possibilities of in-line characterization are the reasons why Chemspeed Technologies is our partner of choice for automated development of cosmetic products.
