Coating and adhesive manufacturers are under pressure: They compete for market share, optimize their products in rapid succession, and must focus on efficiency while ensuring sustainability and regulatory compliance. At the same time, products need to become increasingly circular – without compromising the properties of a coating or adhesive. A critical factor in all of this: The right binders and crosslinkers. Their development takes place at material manufacturers like Covestro. The German company is now addressing these requirements by announcing that in the course of 2025, it will open a specifically developed, automated laboratory for optimizing coating and adhesive formulations to provide even better support to its customers.

"With our automated laboratory, we can work together with our customers on the future of coatings and adhesives. Because it operates almost completely autonomously and learns from our existing knowledge and data lake as well as newly generated data, it makes the process of optimizing and developing formulations many times more efficient and precise. This allows us to optimize existing formulations faster or even develop completely new formulations for and together with our customers. We can say: We are reaching a new level of modern research," says Thomas Büsgen, head of the laboratory.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.
