Our automated lab in Singapore is helping customers accelerate product development through technology and collaboration.
One year ago, we introduced ALFIE – Tate & Lyle’s Automated Laboratory for Ingredient Experimentation – in Singapore. Its purpose: to help customers innovate with speed and precision by leveraging advanced technology.
ALFIE combines robotics and predictive modelling to accelerate ingredient testing by up to 10 times faster than traditional methods. This means customers can move ideas into formulations more efficiently, supported by accurate, data-driven insights.
What makes ALFIE unique is its ability to connect teams across geographies. By linking our experts in Asia-Pacific and North America in real time, we can enable seamless collaboration and co-creation with customers and scientists wherever they are.
In its first year, ALFIE has delivered countless trials and characterisations, helping customers accelerate new product development and continuously improve solutions. And with our expanded ingredient portfolio following the combination with CP Kelco, the opportunities to innovate at speed continue to grow.
ALFIE isn’t just a lab – it’s a glimpse into the future of food innovation: faster, smarter, and more collaborative. Together with our customers, we’re unlocking new possibilities for healthier, tastier products that meet consumer needs worldwide.
