From Experiment to Insight: How Dow Coating Materials and Uncountable Accelerate R&D Innovation with a Connected Digital Workflow

Webinar slide with Dow and Uncountable logos, titled about accelerating R&D innovation with digital workflow, May 6, 2026.

Product teams are under constant pressure to develop and optimize faster—often with fewer resources and less tolerance for rework. Yet in many laboratories, critical data remains scattered across disconnected systems, from formulation tools to LIMS to analytics platforms. The result is all too familiar: manual data extraction, repetitive data wrangling, delayed insights, and unnecessary repeat experiments.

In this webinar, Uncountable and Dow will share how they streamlined their experimental workflow with the Dow Coating Materials group by bringing formulation data, test results, and analysis into a single digital environment. By enabling scientists to start and finish experiments in one platform, Dow has improved visibility, accelerated decision-making, and strengthened the connection between composition and performance.

In this session, you will learn:

Why disconnected formulation, LIMS, and analytics systems slow down R&D
How Dow unified experimental data into one collaborative digital environment
Ways scientists can visualize results in real time and quickly link compositions to performance outcomes
Practical, day-to-day benefits in the lab, including reduced manual work and fewer repeat experiments
How a connected workflow creates a clearer path from experiment to insight

Join Dow and Uncountable for an action-oriented discussion on building a more connected R&D workflow—and accelerating product development.
