Common Challenges

  • Many R&D organizations rely on trial-and-error methodology in their projects for developing new materials and products.
  • Each experimentation cycle may take days or weeks and requires much effort. 
  • Such inefficient methodology results in a large amount of iterations (experiments) until reaching the desired objectives. In other words, it is a waste of time and resources.
  • Researchers and engineers find themselves struggling to decide about the R&D direction, and more practically, which set of experiments they should do next.

The value proposition of MaterialsZone

  • Reduces the number of experiments and iterations to optimize the material performance through design of experiments. This results in reduced R&D costs and faster time to market.
  • Easily applied AI/ML visualizations, insights and predictability. 
  • Easy detection of data gaps and model prediction gaps provide necessary insights.
  • No loss of knowledge. Every piece of recorded data counts.
  • Focus on parameters (variables) that really matter.
  • Rapid accumulation of knowledge and predictability.
  • Easy application of AI/ML visualizations, insights and predictions.
  • One platform, all the data, all the insights, all the stakeholders (R&D, scale-up, manufacturing QC, supply chain alternatives selection).

What does it take from a Materials Informatics Platform (MIP)?

  • Flexible data model that supports multiple dimensions, multiple types of data and any hierarchical nesting and association inherent in materials data.
  • Flexibility to accumulate data incrementally and continuously while the AI/ML insights and visualizations update as well.
  • Easily applied AI/ML visualizations, insights and predictability. 
  • Simple workflow (figure 1) to obtain the desired results in the shortest way possible.

MaterialsZone Solution for Design of Experiments

Laboratory experiments are very common in R&D organizations. Wherever experiments exist, design of experiments is in crucial need to keep the R&D activity more lean, agile and efficient.

Design of experiments allows organizations to utilize their resources properly and reach the market before competition.

MaterialsZone has developed a design of experiments module to help researchers and engineers do their jobs efficiently. The module utilizes the use of an existing dataset containing the experimental parameters, such as: ingredients, ingredients composition, processing details, etc., and also contains the performance measures. The dataset is used to build a model correlating the above experimental parameters with the performance measures.

Such design of experiments workflow will allow the researchers and engineers to significantly reduce the number of experiments they execute to reach a desired target, and get rid of the trial-and-error habit.
