BASF Advances Sustainable Agriculture with Dotmatics R&D Workflows

BASF Agricultural Solutions collaborated with Dotmatics to implement a unified, data-centric R&D platform through their ‘Data to Value’ project, enabling efficient management of complex data across the entire lifecycle of crop protection product development, from experiment planning to scientific analysis.

“The D2V project started with a need from the chemists. We needed something better to cope with our data. With data volume growing and growing, we had to find a better way to work with that.”

— Dr Joachim Dickhaut, Senior Principal Scientist Agricultural Research, BASF

Research and development (R&D) are crucial to BASF’s Agricultural Solutions division, leading to innovations that are essential to finding the right balance – for farmers, agriculture and future generations.

To cope with increasingly more complex and comprehensive data in R&D for new crop protection products, Dotmatics and BASF Agricultural Solutions worked together to enhance the division’s R&D IT infrastructure.

With a 3-step phased approach, BASF Agricultural Solutions successfully reached the goals of the ‘Data to Value’ project. As a result, all steps of the data lifecycle – experiment planning, sample creation, testing, and scientific analysis – are handled by Dotmatics’ unified data-centric platform.
