SMX Develops AI-Powered Scientific Intelligence Platform, Targets Commercial Launch in Q2 2027

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) announced the development of SMX Scientific Intelligence (SMX SCI), an artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to support industrial material research, chemical analysis and manufacturing applications, with a limited commercial launch planned for the second quarter of 2027.

The platform will combine AI technology with SMX’s scientific expertise to create a database of chemical agents, additives and materials used in manufacturing, molecular marking and product development.

AI Platform to Support Material Research and Testing

SMX SCI is being developed to help researchers and manufacturers identify suitable materials, assess compatibility with industrial processes and reduce the time required for preliminary research.

The system will analyse chemical properties, production requirements and regulatory considerations to identify potential materials and additives before laboratory testing.

SMX expects to begin internal use during the first quarter of 2027, with full operations and a limited customer-facing service targeted for the second quarter, subject to successful development and testing.

The platform will also incorporate preliminary regulatory assessments covering markets including the United States, European Union, Japan, Australia, Singapore and Canada. Final compliance determinations will continue to require testing and regulatory review.

Integration with Recycled Plastics and Material Tracking

SMX plans to integrate the platform with its existing molecular marking technology and Digital Material Passport infrastructure, which are designed to track material composition, origin, quality and lifecycle information.

The company intends to use AI-powered analysis to support material identification, recycling certification and the development of consistent standards for graded recycled plastics.

SMX noted that such global standards have not yet been agreed upon or adopted.

The technology could also support its planned Plastic Circularity Credits marketplace by assessing material characteristics, recycling data and potential credit eligibility.

Commercial Services Planned for Industrial Customers

SMX SCI is initially being developed as an internal research tool before its proposed expansion into commercial services covering material identification, additive selection, product enhancement and preliminary compatibility assessments.

Development is being undertaken by SMX’s internal team alongside specialised subcontractors with expertise in AI and industrial material science.

Potential applications include plastics, packaging, precious metals, electronics and semiconductors.

The company expects the platform to create opportunities for additional service-based revenue, although commercial availability remains dependent on development, testing, validation and customer adoption.
