Why RPA Is Needed in Material Informatics Services by Velandirch AI

In today’s data-driven scientific and industrial landscape, material informatics has become the cornerstone of innovation. From discovering advanced polymers to developing sustainable materials, this field is revolutionizing how we understand and utilize materials. However, the rapid growth in material data brings challenges—unstructured datasets, repetitive manual processing, and the need for high accuracy. This is where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) steps in, and Velandirch is at the forefront of integrating RPA into material informatics services.

The Challenge: Data Complexity in Material Informatics

Material informatics thrives on the collection, integration, and analysis of vast datasets, including experimental results, simulation data, and published literature. But much of this data is unstructured—PDFs, lab notes, scientific images, and spreadsheets—and stored across disparate platforms.

Traditional data handling methods involve tedious, error-prone manual work. This not only slows down research cycles but also introduces inconsistencies that can compromise innovation. For companies aiming to accelerate their R&D processes, automated material data processing becomes a critical need.

The Solution: RPA in Material Informatics

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) refers to the use of bots to automate repetitive, rules-based tasks that were previously performed by humans. In the context of material informatics, RPA can extract, clean, format, and transfer data across platforms at scale and with precision.

Velandirch’s proprietary RPA solutions are tailored to material science workflows. Whether it's automating the ingestion of experimental results, standardizing nomenclature, or integrating data into machine learning pipelines, RPA offers a seamless bridge between raw data and actionable insights.

Key Benefits of RPA for Material Informatics at Velandirch

1. Accelerated Data Processing

Velandirch’s RPA bots can rapidly extract data from research papers, databases, and lab systems, reducing weeks of manual work to a matter of hours. This means faster hypothesis testing and quicker material discovery cycles.

2. Improved Accuracy and Consistency

In scientific workflows, precision is non-negotiable. Velandirch’s RPA-driven systems eliminate the human errors common in data entry and transcription, ensuring clean, consistent datasets for analysis and modeling.

3. Enhanced Integration with AI and ML

AI and machine learning models in material informatics require structured, high-quality data. Velandirch’s automated pipelines prepare datasets that are ML-ready, enabling more accurate predictions of material properties, behaviors, and applications.

4. Scalability Across Projects

Whether your organization is analyzing a few thousand data points or millions, Velandirch’s RPA systems scale effortlessly. This flexibility supports both startups and global enterprises in their material research journeys.

5. Cost and Time Efficiency

By reducing manual labor and streamlining operations, RPA implementation leads to significant cost savings. Velandirch clients have reported up to 70% reduction in data handling time after RPA integration.

Real-World Application Example

A global chemical company partnered with Velandirch to automate the extraction of polymer characteristics from 10,000+ research documents. Using custom RPA bots, the client was able to populate a structured database in under a week—work that would have taken over two months manually. The result? Accelerated material selection for a high-impact product launch.
