Representative: Katsutoshi Mizokami, hereinafter referred to as Ensort, announced today that Resonac Co., Ltd. (location: Minato-ku, Tokyo), a Japanese functional chemical manufacturer,
Representative: Hidehito Takahashi (Resonac) announced that Ensort has expanded its adoption of Ensort’s Materials Informatics (MI) acceleration program.
Integrating MI into R&D can dramatically accelerate the development of new materials products, but success requires researchers to acquire knowledge and skills such as machine learning and information science. There is. Ensort’s MI program helps you develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to leverage the knowledge and insights gained from making the most of your data to create new value. *
Resonac researchers, under the guidance of Ensort MI experts, use cutting-edge machine learning and AI to model materials data. In addition to acquiring skills, I also gained hands-on experience in planning projects, developing prototypes, and presenting initiatives. This has been a huge success, with Resonac nearly doubling the number of participants in this unique immersion program in less than a year. In 2024, Resonac plans to triple its original number of participants, and the extended partnership between the two companies is expected to further contribute to improving the skills of scientists.
Resonac Fellow and Director of Computational Information Science Research Center Yoshinari Okuno says: “We are very satisfied with the results of our partnership with Ensort.The accompaniment type of human resource development that we learn together with MI’s consulting scientists is contributing to strengthening our company’s competitiveness, and our researchers are working hard to drive innovation. I’m learning how to think.”
At the core of MI methodology is the ability to leverage AI and machine learning tools to create robust software applications to address real industrial challenges without relying solely on physics and chemistry principles. The biggest differentiator of the MI acceleration program provided by Ensort is our technical team that is well versed in this MI method. Ensort’s team helps scientists and engineers from Resonac make efficient decisions in the lab, ultimately ensuring that new products are brought to market quickly.
Ensort has previously helped Resonac scientists drive a variety of MI projects: – An application that uses predictive models to help explore the complex material design space for functional chemical development – Purpose-built training datasets using the latest natural language processing tools to extract polymer property data from academic literature
– Robust automated image inspection system for quality control monitoring using deep learning
– Accelerating chemical calculations using machine learning
“Effectively implementing MI goes beyond applying new technology or adopting new platforms; it is about transforming people, processes, and technology. One of the goals of Ensort’s MI Acceleration Program is to: It’s about doing just that and revolutionizing the way scientists think. I’m gratified to see Resonac’s researchers transformed and ready to take new approaches to their work. We look forward to continuing to drive their success next year,” said Mike, Ensort’s Director of Professional Services and Customer Success for MI.
Dr. Heiber said.
Not only did Resonac scientists explore a wide range of MI
technologies, they also quickly adopted more efficient and robust methods for advancing MI projects, benefits that extended to scientists outside the program. . Additionally, some of the software tools developed have had a broader impact, adapting to relevant new business challenges and opening up new possibilities.

*About Resonac Group*
Resonac Group is a chemical company that develops
semiconductor/electronic materials, mobility, innovative materials, chemicals, etc., and has a wide range of materials and advanced material technologies from midstream to downstream. In January 2023, the Showa Denko Group and Showa Denko Materials Group (formerly Hitachi Chemical Group) merged and made a new start. The new company name “Resonac” was created by combining the English word “RESONATE” (to resonate, resonate) and the “C” in Chemistry. As a “co-creative chemical company,” Resonac aims to achieve sustainable growth and increase corporate value through co-creation. Sales in fiscal 2023 will be approximately 1.3 trillion yen, of which overseas sales will account for 53%, and we are expanding our business globally with manufacturing and sales bases in 22 countries and regions around the world (as of February 2024). time).
