Use case · Manage materials data centrally

Manage materials data centrally – one source for the whole company

With 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

Without a central system, data silos appear

No coordination

Departments are not coordinated, resulting in multiple activities, multiple data storage and inconsistency.

Isolated applications

Different applications hold data in different formats, names and units.

Unclear responsibility

Decisions are not traceable and it is not clear which system is responsible for data management.

Dependency

Many tools use proprietary data formats, so data can only be read by the right software.

Solution

EDA Core: Manage your materials data centrally

EDA Core forms the foundation: one central source for materials data. Master data management turns it into a single source of truth across the company.

  • All departments can access the system and generate, process and archive their data
  • Displayed data and properties can be defined individually for each user and group
  • Versions and revisions keep all processes and changes transparent and traceable
  • Human-readable JSON format: data stays readable even without the software
  • Freely scalable and suitable for all company sizes
  • Integration with existing systems such as ERP, PLM, CAD and CAE

Process

How your materials data gets into EDA

  1. Consolidate data

    Import existing data from xls, csv or JSON and from reference databases.

  2. Define structure

    Set up views, properties and permissions for users and groups.

  3. Maintain together

    Departments work in the same system – with versions and revisions.

  4. Pass on

    Hand materials data over to ERP, PLM, CAD and CAE.
