The German Materials Society (DGM) is holding the training “Knowledge Management for Materials” (“Wissensmanagement für Werkstoffe”) on September 14 and 15, 2027 – and we at Matplus are pleased to host this course in our premises in Wuppertal.
Why this training matters
In development and manufacturing companies, large volumes of materials data are generated every day – in laboratories, test reports, simulations, supplier approvals and standards. Yet this knowledge often remains hidden in isolated systems, PDF archives or the minds of individual experts.
Only consistent digitization and structuring of materials information enables systematic analysis – and thus creates the foundation for:
- optimizing products and processes
- reproducible sampling and approvals
- mapping regulatory requirements (DPP, REACH, PCF)
- a data basis for ICME, simulation and AI-supported materials development
Training content
This practice-oriented course teaches the methodological and technical foundations of materials data management independently of specific software products:
- Structure and organization of materials databases
- Data models and exchange formats (e.g. VDA 231-301, JSON schemas)
- Integration with PLM, ERP and CAE systems
- Laboratory data management and digitization of test certificates
- Best practices from automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering
Our offer as host
The course is directed by Dr.-Ing. Uwe Diekmann (Matplus GmbH). As host, we offer participants not only our premises at the Friedrichsarkaden, but also direct exchange with Matplus materials data experts. During breaks and at the joint evening event, there is an opportunity to discuss specific questions from your own practice.
Registration
Organization and registration are handled directly by the DGM Academy. Participation is limited – we recommend booking early.
