Yokohama Rubber, dotData jointly develop AI agent for manufacturing R&D

Yokohama Rubber began joint development with dotData to build an AI agent for manufacturing R&D, combining signal intelligence with generative AI. Project aims to help engineers generate hypotheses, interpret results, flag risks, support decisions using a human-in-the-loop model. System will integrate technical documents, engineering know-how, data-derived features from measurement data to tailor insights to each R&D project. Initiative will first validate capabilities, technical feasibility before any full-scale deployment in R&D operations. Collaboration expands Yokohama Rubber’s HAICoLab program, which has used dotData technology since 2020 in tire design, rubber mixing work.
