AGC Glass Europe has collaborated with Citrine Informatics to use artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate the development of next-generation glass.

Citrine Informatics is a technology platform that harnesses the power of AI to bring new materials to market faster, and capture materials-enabled product value.

The purpose of the collaboration is to look for innovative solutions to meet the ever-higher glass performance demand faster than ever before.

AGC is providing experimental data to build proprietary AI models using the Citrine platform and is iteratively testing the newly suggested materials.

The models are improved by Citrine through this sequential learning process, which targets the identification of the best process conditions to reach high-performance glass materials.

Marc Van Den Neste, CTO of the Building & Industrial Glass Company from AGC said: ”The future of materials development depends on speed.

“Developing these high performance materials faster will require managing and using data more effectively.

“This includes consolidating data into a single consistent searchable format, as well as structuring, storing, and using materials data to harness the power of AI.”

“Artificial Intelligence is expected to dramatically change how the scientists design experiments or value data, leading to breakthrough results.”
