Maxell transitioned from internal Python-based MI tools to Polymerize Labs to scale data-driven materials innovation across the organization. In this interview, Ms. Yuko Sawaki shares how a no-code, integrated platform enabled broader adoption and accelerated AI-driven development.
With its roots in battery technology, Maxell has applied its core technologies—mixing, coating, and solidifying—across a diverse range of product development. In 2019, as part of efforts to accelerate materials development using AI, the company faced limitations with its internally developed MI tools built on Python.
This led to the decision to transition to Polymerize Labs, a no-code, integrated MI platform accessible to all. Today, data-driven development is actively taking root across the organization.
