This further amplifies research understanding in innovative ways, paving for informed choices based on the desired outcomes. Our cutting-edge platform brings together scientists, researchers, and business users to plan, execute and manage complex research initiatives.

What is a Data Management Software (DMS) and what is a cloud-based DMS?

Data Management System or DMS is essentially a system software used for the creation and management of databases. Users can create, read, protect, edit, or remove data in a database. The recent technological advances especially in the case of cloud services have attracted a lot of attention and excitement in the technological sphere.

Cloud-based data management software share different resources and exchange information across different devices that are located separately and are always connected on an internet connection. The number of these cloud-based DMS is expected to increase in the future because of the increasing demand for information sharing across multiple stakeholders to facilitate a collaborative research infrastructure. And with the growing availability of infrastructure, these applications are going to be highly economical with an even higher ROI. According to related research and industry surveys, there has been a significant increase in outsourcing DMS tasks to third parties who can do so at a very low cost.

DMS in the field of Polymer Science

The field of combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput experimentation have significantly revolutionised the field of material discovery and characterization in the academic and industrial context. The major consequence of such a boom in material discovery is the explosion of experimental data which demands to be evaluated, administered, organised, and stored.

An important need in the polymer industry/ polymer science is for a chemical and polymer-specific data management system that will serve diverse information requirements. From the polymer technologist’s point of view, structures are central to those needs, however, others involved with property screening or inventory control might have a different, though related, point of view. The diverse applications from the users’ side demand flexibility and standardisation in a polymer data management system. Further, upcoming technologies in the field of computer networks, distributed systems & databases, and workstations will lead to additional challenges in order to coherently populate and manage data across systems and departments.

To meet these diverse needs, a collaborative and workflow-driven data management system must be designed which can accommodate diverse use cases and can be customized. Polymerize Connect aims to solve many of these challenges today as it standardises any unstructured data coming from multiple disparate sources. In fact, Polymerize Connect holds the ability to accelerate R&D efforts manifold by providing a purpose-built powerful data management and can be used across multiple domains including paints, adhesives, rubbers, specialty chemicals, etc.

Why Polymerize Connect?

Polymerize connect offers specialised benefits for any R&D operations.

Our platform offers purpose-built features which can convert your experimental data into highly valuable insights.

Some of the key functional aspects are:

1. Handling Complex, Diverse, and high volume data: Any research institution may encounter difficulties with the inherent complexity, diversity of attributes in the data, and sheer volume of data. Our dedicated data management platform aids organisations in minimising human-prone errors, increasing resource productivity, and ultimately producing quality results. It maintains an ecosystem that makes it easier for users to handle their laborious data.
2. Providing Powerful AI/ML tools: Polymerize offers effective AI/ML tools without the requirement for coding or any extra effort. The modules are highly impactful in delivering useful, unique, and interactive insights. This hugely impacts the R&D effort as each member now has a better understanding of their workflow.
3. Providing Data transparency: Most often projects require close collaboration across multiple teams. This may lead to poor data handling and human-bound error. Polymerize Connect maintains logbooks and conducts a proper hierarchy of ownership to overcome this problem. It also prevents team members from accidental errors and ensures that every team member is aware of the modifications made and provides extensive data transparency.
4. Data Security: Exchanging data across teams could be extremely risky especially considering the complexity and security of data. Polymerize Connect establishes the correct administrative, preventative, and detection controls & policies for the right access to the database. It has data encryption and security policies integrated at the data and application layer which adheres to the highest security standards and protocols

What are the features offered by Polymerize Connect?

We know the pain of working with scattered data, unstructured files, and disconnected folders. Hence we have developed a customised workflow integrated in Polymerize Connect for your research needs.

Features offered by Polymerize Connect:

• Agnostic Database: Get all your prehistoric data imported without having to change the data format. This means no extra effort is required in cleaning or modifying the data.
• Data Provenance: Our platform allows users to have full control over their data. Detailed logs are maintained on each stage, progress, or modification of data. Any piece of data can be traced back to its origin.
• Data Analysis: Allow your database to talk to you. The platform helps you to analyse and draw out valuable insights or even discover new and hidden relations. Get all the functions required to drive your R&D functions with ease and efficiency.
• Team Collaboration: Polymerize Connect enables you to collaborate more effectively with your distributed teams by building a virtual workspace. Users can send files, and comment on experiments/processes including various workflows. The intuitively designed platform helps accelerate productivity and facilitates seamless team collaboration across locations.
• Customizable Real-time Dashboard: Enjoy the benefits of a dynamic, adaptive, and auto-generated dashboard. Get updates on all the data stored inside the system, customize new reports, and gather information on the latest in the market related to your application and materials..
• Range of Metadata: The variety of metadata improves the user experience of writing and reading scientific documents by giving the possibility to: create chemical structures and reactions, make auto-generated tables with results from single or multiple columns, and make mathematical equations from your data. Moreover, this ensures the authenticity and repeatability of the research work and also helps reduce human error.

In the current era of sustainable development, optimisation has become complex due to the involvement of multiple benchmarks like technical, economic, and environmental impact. Almost every industry outsources to get digitised in order to get the edge in their respective fields.

With customers spread across a diverse array of industries, including chemical, polymer, paints and coatings, rubber, food packaging, textiles, and other material industries, the Polymerize Connect platform is designed to help accelerate data-driven decisions in any environment.
