Accelerating R&D Innovation with AI and Simulation

How Simreka Transforms Formulation and Materials Science

Target Audience: R&D leaders, innovation managers, CTOs, digital transformation teams
Purpose: Educate stakeholders on the R&D bottlenecks in formulations and how Simreka’s AI-powered simulation platform provides transformative value.

In a world demanding faster innovation, cleaner ingredients, and regulatory compliance, traditional R&D processes are under immense pressure. From chemicals to packaging and CPG, product development often takes 12–18 months and involves costly trial-and-error iterations.

Simreka is an AI-powered platform that reimagines R&D with:

  1. Forward and reverse simulations
  2. LLM-driven scientific reasoning
  3. Regulatory intelligence integration
  4. 10x faster time-to-market

The R&D Bottleneck

The Realities of Traditional R&D:
  1. Siloed scientific knowledge
  2. Inconsistent formulation trials
  3. High regulatory uncertainty
  4. Low reuse of historical data
  5. Growing demand for sustainable, compliant products

In industries like specialty chemicals, consumer goods, packaging, and pharmaceuticals, this leads to:

  1. High product failure rates
  2. Delayed innovation
  3. Regulatory risks
  4. Competitive disadvantage

Simreka’s AI-Powered Approach

Simreka enables digital, intelligent R&D that mirrors and enhances how formulation scientists think—at scale.

Core Components of the Simreka Platform:

1. Knowledge Retrieval Engine

  • Semantic vector search across scientific literature, patents, SDSs, and internal docs
  • Query by challenge, property, or goal—not just keywords
  • Surfaces historical insights, safety risks, and formulation trends

2. Forward and Reverse Simulations

  • Forward Simulation: Predict properties from ingredient combinations
  • Reverse Simulation: Start from desired properties, get suggested formulations
  • Saves lab effort and speeds decision-making

3. Built-in Regulatory Mapping

  • Support for REACH, GHS, TSCA, INCI, and more
  • Scores ingredient combinations for compliance
  • Early warnings for restricted or high-risk components

4. Collaborative AI Copilot

  • Multi-user workspace with access control
  • Continuous learning from internal R&D
  • Integrated audit trails for traceability

Use Cases & Industry Applications

1. Specialty Chemicals

  • Ingredient replacement
  • Performance optimization
  • Digital lab screening

2. Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)

  • Natural preservative discovery
  • Fragrance formulation
  • Regulatory-prepared new product design

3. Sustainable Packaging

  • Material compatibility simulation
  • Barrier performance prediction
  • Regulatory clearance automation
