Materials data management software

Matplus EDA®Reliable materials information for the product lifecycle

EDA brings your materials data from labs, suppliers and calculations onto one platform, checks it, puts it into a unified schema and makes it available to your departments – versioned, traceable and ready to use in CAE, PLM and ERP.

The challenge

Materials data is scattered, contradictory and hard to trace

Inconsistent and contradicting material data cost time and budget.

Data silos

Isolated applications hold data in different formats, names and units. Departments duplicate work.

Media breaks

Test data is evaluated in spreadsheets and leaves the protected space of the information system.

No traceability

It is unclear which value applies and which system is responsible. Knowledge sits with a few people.

How it works

Materials data management software EDA: from data source to usable material card

More than storage: EDA extracts data from different sources, checks it and merges it into a unified schema – ready to connect at every step of your process chain.

  1. Data sources

    Take over data from labs, suppliers, reference databases and JMatPro – from xls, csv and JSON or via interfaces.

  2. Extraction and checking

    Process test data transparently, fit curves, convert units and compare test data with calculated properties.

  3. Unified schema

    Versions and revisions, individual views per user and group, permissions and one central source for all departments.

  4. Application

    Generate models for CAE material cards, create reports and pass data to ERP, PLM and CAE.

Data quality

Every value traceable: origin, version, approval

EDA keeps your materials data checked and traceable.

No vendor lock-in

In daily work you use EDA through a simple interface, without programming. Your data stays yours: you can export it at any time.

Versions and revisions

All processes and changes stay transparent and traceable.

Documented data creation

Test data processing is transparent and documented – in a protected system instead of many ‘private’ tools.

Reliable reference data

Materials reference data from partnerships with leading institutions.

Matplus materials databases

Frequently asked questions

What is materials data management with EDA?
EDA is a software platform to manage, check and approve your own test and materials data. Reference data from Matplus databases such as Matglobe and calculations from JMatPro feed into it. All departments work with the same traceable data.
Does EDA run in the cloud or on premises?
Both are possible: on premises or in the cloud.
Are we locked in to Matplus?
No. EDA uses open components, you work with it through a simple interface, and you can export your data at any time.
Which package fits us?
EDA is offered as Starter, Professional and Enterprise. We are happy to discuss in person which package fits your needs.

Open. Secure.
No vendor lock-in.

EDA® keeps the engineering context of your materials data –
so your teams can connect systems, reuse knowledge and create impact.
