Abstract
Collano develops high-performance adhesives designed for extreme conditions — holding together skis, sails, cars, even providing tamper-evident protection for banknotes. Like many innovative materials companies, Collano’s decades of R&D have generated valuable but scattered data across multiple systems and formats. In this webinar, Raphael Schaller, CTO of Collano, shares how his team envisioned their data to make it usable for AI-driven materials discovery. He reflects on what he would do differently if starting over, and how adopting the Citrine Platform has accelerated learning, collaboration, and innovation across the organization. Attend this webinar to:
- Understand common pitfalls and best practices in data harmonization for AI initiatives
- Learn how materials informatics can support employee onboarding and enhance customer conversations
- Hear first-hand from a technology leader implementing AI in a materials company
- See a demo of Omni a new data harmonization capability from Citrine Informatics
