FUBO Tobacco Formulation Digitization Solution

Overview

The quality and stylistic characteristics of cigarettes are formed by product designers through the matching of different origins, varieties and grades of tobacco. After a certain raw material is used up, it is necessary to determine the replacement tobacco or replacement formula through the evaluation of single material and formula. Tobacco substitution is intense and subjective, and mainly relies on the experience and judgment of the formulators.
FUBO Tobacco Formulation Digital Solution is applicable to the design of tobacco formulas. With a fully self-developed high-performance computing-intensive parallel computing engine, it assists engineers in predicting the smoke indexes of single-feed/leaf groups based on low data collection costs, guides the substitution practice of single-feed/leaf groups, dynamically evaluates the stability of the indexes, realizes the homogenization of the product and the traceable management, and follows up the optimal period of use of the raw materials of tobacco for mellowing to help the engineers to reasonable planning of tobacco production time.

Challenges

Reliance on manual assessment, unstable cigarette quality
Traditional tobacco product research and development or change formula mainly rely on the experience of formulators and assessment judgment, work intensity, subjectivity, uncertainty, will make the quality of cigarettes is not stable.
Tobacco new product R&D is inefficient and has low market adaptability
Tobacco new product research and development usually takes a lot of time and resources, and requires a lot of tests. Low R&D efficiency and long product launching cycle make it difficult to adjust quickly according to market demand.
Tobacco new product R&D is risky and weak in innovation ability
Traditional tobacco product R&D relies on manual decision-making and trial-and-error methods, expert experience cannot be accumulated to form a closed loop of decision-making, the utilization rate of enterprise data resources is low, and it is difficult to distill valuable insights from data. Enterprises need to bear high R&D costs, and it is difficult to launch competitive new products, resulting in a lack of product attractiveness and differentiation.

Benefits

Predicting the characteristics of single-feed tobacco indicators to ensure product quality stability
Through the precise control of the digitalized system of FUBO Tobacco Formulation, it can ensure that each batch of tobacco has consistent quality and taste, ensure the stability of the product, and reduce the loss due to the fluctuation of product quality.
Assist leaf group formula design, improve R&D efficiency
Based on the near-infrared and characteristic data of single-feed tobacco, FUBO Tobacco Formulation Digitizing Solution calculates and predicts leaf group characteristics (such as sensory indexes and smoke routines, etc.), helps designers exclude unsuitable leaf group solutions in advance, reduces the cost of leaf group design tests, and improves the efficiency of research and development.
Flexible response to changes in the tobacco market and enhance product innovation
FUBO Tobacco Formulation Digital Solution can flexibly adjust the tobacco formula according to the market demand and consumer feedback, and quickly try different formulation solutions to help enterprises better understand the market demand and discover new consumer trends in time, so as to continuously innovate and launch products that are more suitable for the market demand.
