The use of material data is a crucial success factor in research and development (R&D) in the plastics industry. Material Intelligence – the intelligent use of data through AI and modern data management solutions – enables the efficient development of new polymer solutions, drives innovation, and optimizes production processes.

While R&D benefits from precise analyses and rapid insights, quality assurance (QA/QC) plays an equally central role: material properties must be continuously monitored, and processes must be sustainably improved. Modern technologies help efficiently integrate scattered data, gain deeper insights, and ensure compliance with the highest standards.

Through concrete case studies, we demonstrate how data management and material intelligence can be applied in R&D and QA/QC to:

• – Accelerate innovation cycles.
• – Unlock efficiency potentials.
• – Sustainably ensure quality and standards.
