Use case · Manage materials data centrally
With Matplus EDA® you manage, check and approve your own materials and test data – on one central platform for all departments: consistent, versioned and with permissions per user and group.
Problem
Departments are not coordinated, resulting in multiple activities, multiple data storage and inconsistency.
Different applications hold data in different formats, names and units.
Decisions are not traceable and it is not clear which system is responsible for data management.
Many tools use proprietary data formats, so data can only be read by the right software.
Solution
Matplus EDA® forms the foundation: one central source for materials data. Master data management turns it into a single source of truth across the company.
Master data
Inconsistent and contradicting material data cost time and budget. Matplus EDA® provides one consistent and reliable material information base across all departments.
One reference for material development across the entire organization.
Versions and revisions across all divisions and departments.
Efficient exchange between departments and teams – each user and group sees the data and properties relevant to them.
Less time spent searching for and selecting materials.
Process
Import existing data from xls, csv or JSON and from reference databases.
Set up views, properties and permissions for users and groups.
Departments work in the same system – with versions and revisions.
Hand materials data over to ERP, PLM, CAD and CAE.
Knowledge integration
Knowledge is more than data and information – and should be securely available to the entire organization. Matplus EDA® brings data, information and knowledge together and provides decision support in the right places.
Link documents with data, equations, images, videos, models and references.
Integrate literature and external documents digitally and search them efficiently.
High-quality corporate layouts for documents.
Application and research reports are knowledge trees with linked information – developed, merged and reused in a team. This builds internal, sustainable knowledge.
Data exchange
Every participant in the supply chain has to make sure that the requested documentation is delivered. Matplus EDA® reads, evaluates, validates and transfers laboratory reports and test certificates with associated data – instead of manually transferring PDF files.
Matplus EDA® reads and writes eCoC data (DIN SPEC 9012) and digitalizes the CoC process through automation and machine-readable formats.
The certificate and the corresponding test data, including curve data, are unified in one consistent, neutral format that can be shared with other parties.
Compare the results of different certificates and visualize, evaluate and assess test and curve data.
Unique assignment of companies and certificates through a Unique Identifier (UUID).
Editions
For development and simulation: adds material models, CAE material cards and the interface to JMatPro® (JMatPro® is licensed separately).
