Platform MaterialDigital

In collaboration with our academic and industrial partners, Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) facilitates the sustainable, FAIR and digital representation of materials throughout their entire lifecycle. This paves the way for the complete digitizalization of the entire value chain, from material development to recycling.

Our approach:

We formalise data generation and processing through structured workflows and semantic concepts to achieve digital interoperability. This results in:

  • Standardised data formats forming the basis for cross-system integration.
  • machine-readable data and its use in modern AI systems, for example.
  • Ensuring data quality and consistency.
  • Long-term preservation of know-how.

Our partners always retain control over data sovereignty and security.

In this way, we serve as a beacon in the evolving ecosystem for the creation and reuse of material data.

Material development of the future

Data-driven material and product development is key to competitiveness in the 21st century. Using modern ML/AI solutions in development increases efficiency and reduces errors compared to traditional iterative approaches. Shorter time-to-market and more consistent quality lead to lower costs, increased yields and reduced downtime. Supply chains become more resilient and digitised expertise renders brain drain a marginal issue, ultimately leading to future-proof competitiveness.
