Orchestrator-Based Research and Development System and Method for Operating the Same

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention describes an orchestrator-based research and development (R&D) system designed to streamline and automate processes for researching and developing products, particularly energy materials. This intelligent system uses a graph database and advanced data processing—including artificial intelligence—to integrate, standardize, and analyze heterogeneous data from various sources and devices. Using defined ontologies and optimized workflows, the system allows automated device selection, real-time data handling, and graphical interfaces to support complex, decentralized R&D projects across different organizations.
