Abstract: An apparatus for automated safety data sheet (SDS) processing that translates the entire SDSs from numerous chemical vendors, and in various formats (.pdf, .doc, .txt, .jpg, .gif, .png, etc) to machine-encoded text by employing optical, RFID, and infrared scanning, reading and writing devices. The apparatus reads and assess documents as a human would; ensuring that the documents are compliant, ensuring reported values are within expected thresholds, and that there are no conflicts in hazardous material classification, and comparing to similar products for more environmentally friendly alternatives. The apparatus further employs a processor that computes meta-algorithms as trainable neural networks that allow the invention to “learn” and appropriately classify values and calculate statistical probabilities for output accuracy and precision.
