StarTex Software digitizes chemical Safety Data Sheets with Nanonets AI extraction

StarTex needed to process millions of multi-format Safety Data Sheets from chemical manufacturers worldwide for compliance, but the volume, format variation, and zero-error requirement made manual processing infeasible — clients had to do it themselves, and building an internal database manually would take months or years.

How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · SDS documents uploaded
Safety Data Sheets are uploaded to a custom application built by StarTex.

Outcome

With Nanonets, StarTex can extract required fields from multi-format SDSs in seconds with high accuracy, enabling a new product module that was previously impossible to offer.

What failed first

StarTex could not offer an SDS processing module, forcing clients to perform manual, error-prone extraction. Competitors had built their SDS libraries through decades of manual effort — a path too slow for StarTex to replicate.
