Lunch break, interactive networking and discussion @ "topic tables" in exhibition area

14:15 Artificial Intelligence Driving a Revolution in Materials Discovery
  • Citrine is the world’s only AI-powered data platform for materials discovery
  • One of the biggest challenges facing the materials industry is that materials lag behind product development. The demand for complex next generation products requires materials be developed much faster
  • Data is key to speeding up materials development. Developing materials faster will require managing and using data more effectively, which includes consolidating data into a single consistent searchable format, as well as structuring, storing, and using materials data to harness the power of artificial intelligence.
  • Citrine's technology combines a consolidated materials repository, the world’s largest materials dataset, and powerful artificial intelligence to accelerate materials discovery. Discoveries and IP always remain exclusive to the user

Douglas Ramsey, Vice President Business Development, Citrine Informatics, USA

14:45 Tandem talk
Artificial Intelligence in the Process Industry - Get ahead with AI applications for productivity improvement
  • Benefit from Artificial Intelligence to accelerate processes
  • Quality control and maintenance based on real-time decision
  • Get a fast implementation of new technologies into your existing
  • infrastructure
  • Gain from early success in a solid environment
Katrin Botzen, Head of Advanced Analytics, 5Analytics, Germany
Safa Kutup Kurt
, Engineer Performance Materials, Process Technologies Engineering, Merck KGaA, Germany
15:25 Physical Analytics Approaches for the Process Industry - How to beat AI for many practical use cases
  • Physical Analytics methods are often key ingredients in finding the optimal Smart Data solution given the starting data set or the data-driven question to answer
  • Using theory-based model-driven approaches, a much deeper understanding of the underlying data problem and the interpretation of the results is possible
  • A number of data-driven industry use cases that were solved with advanced Physical Analytics methods will be outlined and discussed
Rene Fassbender, CEO, OmegaLambdaTec, Germany

15:55

Coffee break, interactive networking and discussion @ "topic tables" in exhibition area

17:10 The role of AI in R&D and the hopes of AI in R&D are they at logger heads?

Some areas of R&D do have reasonable data e.g. clinical, and good quantities of it, But often in R&D data is not connected and is not accessible.

What can we do in the areas where we don’t have good data / poorly connected data?

Enrichment semantic, Automated meta data markup

Automated cleaning and quality assessments

Automated data capture and association with context

Human data e.g. speech

How do these technologies play together and how can we enable an ecosystem of systems to work on data and generate meaningful consequences?

The talk will explore these topics and provide case studies from work done with Pharma and biotechs to make the vision a reality.

Paul Denny-Gouldson, VP Strategic Solutions, IDBS, United Kingdom
17:40 Mastering the digitalization challenge in the process industry through machine learning platforms and hybrid modeling
  • Big data in process industry vice or virtue
  • Digitalization platforms and integrated data analytics solutions
  • Process knowledge integration and hybrid modeling
  • Case studies from different industry sectors (biopharma, refineries)

Michael Sokolov, COO, DataHow, Switzerland

18:10 A revolutionary IoT reputation project becomes economically viable through Real-Time Big Data
  • The Problem: Too much + too different Data = too late Insights
  • How to capture large amount of data by tens of thousands of sensors distributed over an area as large as the city of San Francisco?
  • How to handle around 500 million data records in well over 40 heterogeneous systems - within a time frame of 90 days?
  • The Implementation: Off to the Races
  • How to act and react in case of problems!
Klaus Lindinger, Digital Innovation Officer & Head of Sales, dataWerks, Germany
18:40 Interactive networking and discussion @ "topic tables" in exhibition area
19:00 Networking Dinner
23:00 End of first PRAXISforum day

10:00 Coffee break, interactive networking and discussion @ "topic tables" in exhibition area
11:15 The Art of Starting Small in the Age of Big Data
  • The evergrowing availability of data and the emerging hype around advanced machine learning algorithms can be tempting for the aspiring analyst to “skip the basics” and start attacking large datasets he does not really master with an arsenal of tools he does not really understand.
  • As a result, the very discerning and well-ordered approach of applying statistical thinking to process and product improvement problems risks turning into pseudoscience.
  • Big data is a great asset but in order to meaningfully benefit from it one has to first be able to deal with small(er) data sets, recognize one’s own process in that data, build statistical models that reflect one’s prior understanding and use these models to enhance the current state of understanding and ultimately attain better solutions.
  • How is the data being collected? Will the data allow me to answer the questions I set out to investigate?
  • Live demonstration of JMP
Mahmoud Hammoud, JMP Sr. Systems Engineer, SAS Institute, Germany
