Alchemite for Formulations

Alchemite™ for Formulations, developed by Intellegens, is a machine learning-powered desktop software platform designed to accelerate innovation across any product category where ingredients and processing steps must be optimised to deliver target properties. Its scope spans an exceptionally broad range of industries — from foods, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals to paints, aerospace coatings, lubricants, plastics, perfumes, inks, and catalysts. The platform is built to be quick to learn and easy to use, making the power of machine learning accessible to formulation scientists, chemists, and R&D teams without requiring advanced statistical knowledge or specialist training.

Alchemite™ has demonstrated measurable impact for real-world customers: Yili accelerated dairy product formulation development by rapidly eliminating unnecessary ingredients; FUCHS improved lubricant formulation performance by 50% in less time; Johnson Matthey identified improved catalyst formulation designs using five times fewer experiments; and Domino Printing Sciences reduced ink development timescales by months.

Core Capabilities

• Learns from existing formulation data to build predictive machine learning models
• Predicts missing values to fill knowledge gaps without additional experiments
• Enables hypothesis testing before committing to costly experimental resources
• Generates novel formulation solutions that may be missed by conventional analysis
• Supports an adaptive Design of Experiments (DOE) approach to focus resources on the most informative experiments
• Dramatically reduces the total number of experiments needed to meet project objectives

Product Modules

• Alchemite™ Explorer — Targeted at formulation scientists, materials researchers, and chemists who need to apply machine learning models to test hypotheses and explore relationships within their data
• Alchemite™ Designer — Designed for scientists running experimental programmes, allowing users to set up and run DOE projects in just a few clicks and share recommendations and insights with colleagues
• Alchemite™ Viewer — Intended for managers and other team members who need to explore project results and apply findings to decision making without running experiments themselves

Collaboration and Team Workflow

• Individual users can select the Alchemite app most suited to their specific R&D challenge
• R&D organisations can assign the appropriate app to each team member based on their role
• Projects and results can be shared across all users, creating an integrated, collaborative solution
• Enables cross-team decision making by making machine learning outputs accessible to non-technical stakeholders

Alchemite™ for Formulations is delivered as desktop software, making it straightforward to deploy within existing R&D workflows. It is designed to complement and enhance formulation expertise rather than replace it, ensuring that teams can complete more projects, reduce experimental workloads, and maintain a sharper competitive edge in product development.
