639    [post_content] => Artificial intelligence (AI) is an increasingly important topic in the paint and coatings industry. This free webinar will explore how AI is already being applied in formulation development, business process improvement, and improving factory efficiency through smart factory concepts.Â Notably, some of the specific areas where AI is being used is in suggesting starting point formulations, processing of purchase and sales orders, predictive quality control, predictive maintenance, increased automation, digital inspection, and the use of digital twins.Â This webinar will address each of these applications, consider emerging developments in AI, and what they could mean for the future of the paint and coatings industry.
640
641The webinar will be presented by Doug Bohn, Director, Orr &amp; Boss; Erik Sapper, Associate Professor, Cal Poly; and Ralph Woerheide, President, Metromation.

1708				<div class="et_pb_toggle_content clearfix"><p>The utility of the PCR for Architectural Coatings is timely and considerable, since decision makers are increasingly considering information about the life-cycle impacts of products when selecting which products they choose to sell, specify, or use. Retailers, standard-setting bodies, and consumers are requiring information or giving favorable status to products and brands able to describe their life-cycle impacts and benefits. </p>
1709<p>Sustainability guidelines and green certification programs are also giving preferential treatment to products with verified EPDs. The newest version of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system rewards construction projects for using materials for which an EPD is provided, and other green building schemes relied on by the federal government are following suit. </p>
1710<p>Those are but two examples of the growing importance and demand for EPDs, but consider too, that LCA results can be used to demonstrate performance attributes of products, including durability. LCA also provides paint and coating manufacturers with the opportunity to exhibit improvements in resource efficiency across the supply chain. </p></div>
