How the Dotmatics Chemicals & Materials Solution Supports Materials Innovation

The Dotmatics platform enables chemicals and materials organizations to integrate existing data sources and implement workflows that fit into the R&D process.

A curated set of workflows is available outof-the box for immediate adoption.

The C&M Solution covers the entire R&D innovation lifecycle including experiment planning lab testing and data accessibility. Activities across this innovation lifecycle include

Decide: Includes ingredient qualification experiment planning recipe definition and data visualizations

Make: Preparing samples via recipe execution and at later stages supporting tech transfer and/ or scale-up efforts via data accessibility and knowledge managemen

Test: Supporting lab roundtrips via sample tracking request management and automated results sharing

With an open platform approach the C&M Solution enables integration of existing data sources including bespoke database and third-party systems such as an ELN or LIMS. It can also be extended to support other functional tools including design of experiment (DoE) and data modeling systems (AI/ML).

The C&M Solution implements two key aspects for R&D IT infrastructure: Streamlined data entry that reflects the diversity of workflows it needs to support and data accessibility to facilitate scientific insights and better project decisions.

Capabilities and Benefits of the Chemicals & Materials Solution

Data Accessibility

The C&M solution provides unparalleled data accessibility because of its platform approach. As data generation is spread across departments and geos, it becomes challenging to provide a harmonized, high-quality view on data sources. The C&M Solution accomplishes this via centralized data models, comprehensive data querying capabilities, and integrated data visualization frameworks.

Streamlined Data Entr y

The Dotmatics C&M solution implements aspects of traditional ELN and LIMS systems and allows you to bring all your samples and formulations into one experiment. The capabilities of these systems are made available in the platform and are then combined to produce optimal workflows and data capture. The platform is also able to integrate existing systems into the workflows.

The C&M Solution adapts to the multitude of workflows found in materials research using a generalized entity registration framework that essentially implements a set of master data. This allows organizations to administer ingredients with associated metadata, as well as equipment and test methods. Furthermore, the C&M Solution can also provide an implementation baseline for more complex situations where extensions into chemistry and/or biology are required. Below are summarized capabilities, related scope, and the realized user benefits of adopting the Dotmatics C&M solution.
