What: AI is helping to create new compounds

Innovation: To reduce the number of trials required to develop complex polymer compound recipes, Cooper Standard worked with Silicon Valley analytics firm Uncountable to develop an AI-based software that learns from past trials. The software can characterize the outcome of altering compound ingredients during development, enabling engineers to arrive at superior properties. The result is an 80 percent shorter product development and validation period.
