Turning R&D Data into Better Decisions
Materials and chemical companies face growing pressure to meet more advanced performance requirements, shorten development cycles, and compete in increasingly complex markets.
MI-6 combines AI-powered solutions with hands-on expert support to help R&D teams make better use of experimental data, accelerate hypothesis testing, and turn research knowledge into new materials and products.
MI-6 also shares our technology on miLab. If you are interested in learning more, please feel free to contact us.
Hands-on MI®
A Data Science Execution Partner for Solving Complex Materials Development Challenges
Data scientists with expertise in materials science and computational science solve advanced materials development challenges. Covering themes from inorganic crystals and small molecules to composites, polymers, and resin compounds, we support problem formulation, analysis, modelling, interpretation, implementation, and tailored tools for practical use.

miHub®
Turning Each Trial into Knowledge, and R&D into an Organisational Capability
An R&D platform that helps teams turn development data and research knowledge into better scientific decisions. It supports feature generation, key factor identification, and the design of next conditions, while capturing plans, analyses, discussions, and decisions so each trial becomes reusable asset rather than an isolated result.
Lab Automation
Connecting Digital Platforms with the Laboratory to Transform How R&D Is Conducted
By connecting digital platforms with physical experimentation through equipment control and automation, it creates a continuous flow from experiments and data accumulation to analysis and the next design. It reduces manual work and fragmented data handling, enabling researchers to focus on thinking, decision-making, and directing experimental systems.
Advancing R&D
with the Right Approach
An image showing the relationship between the client and MI-6. The client presents "Challenges and Goals," while MI-6 presents "Hypothesis, Practice, and Improvement," representing a cycle. On the MI-6 side, the logos of three services, "Hands-on MI," "miHub," and "Lab Automation," are displayed in the background, representing the company's technical backbone.
What each organisation aims to achieve depends on its research goals, challenges, and current stage. MI-6 works closely with you to understand your situation and design the most effective approach for your needs.
As projects progress and new insights emerge, new challenges and opportunities naturally arise. Together with our customers, we form hypotheses, put them into practice, and refine them through continuous improvement.
By sustaining this cycle, we help drive progress in R&D and support the transformation that follows.
