Graph-based data platform for complex product data
Turn data silos into connected product and process knowledge!
semantic PDM connects your distributed data and makes dependencies usable - with the goals of better data quality, faster processes and a reliable AI foundation.
What slows things down today
- Many systems, Excel files and process breaks
- Data in silos without the necessary context
- Incomplete data as a basis for decisions
- Unclear data ownership and duplicate maintenance
- AI initiatives without a structured data foundation
What it becomes
- Connected product, project and process data
- Fast and well-founded decisions
- Role-based views for specialist teams
- Traceable dependencies and history
- Open platform based on graph technology
One data platform that makes relationships visible and usable.
semantic PDM sits as a connecting layer above grown system landscapes. Data is not only collected, but linked with meaning, rules and responsibilities.
This creates clear views for specialist teams and makes the consequences of decisions transparent and traceable.
Use case
"What impact does a requested change in project X have in the current situation?"
Understand
You can see the content relationships between work packages and their implementation in temporal context.
Decide quickly
You recognize possible consequences of a change within minutes instead of hours and make well-founded decisions quickly.
Services
From problem analysis to a usable application in 4 weeks.
Analysis, data modeling and application configuration from one source - intuitive, fast and flexible.
Analyze
We review your data sources and processes with you to narrow down the causes of the current use case - 2 days.
Model
We model the required product and process structures with the specialist teams in a graph (data network) - 5 days.
Implement
The necessary forms and functions for viewing and enriching the data are configured - 10 days.
Enable
A group of your employees is trained in using our tools so you can make optimizations and extensions yourself - 3 days.
Use Cases
What causes the most delays and costs in your organization?
manual creation of product variants
Problem
- New product variants are based on copy & paste and Excel
- Error-prone and connected to unnecessary extra work
- Redundancy in production and logistics
- Many very similar variants exist in parallel
- No controlled modular logic
Approach
- Rule-based product configurator with automatic generation of BOMs and master data
- Rules easy to maintain as if-then graphs
- Intuitive configuration screens
- Transparent and traceable results, no AI
long processing times for change requests
Problem
- Change requests are processed via sequential workflows or via PDF and Excel
- Implementation is slow and hard to follow
- Estimating possible follow-up costs and actions is time-consuming and error-prone
Approach
- Change request as an independent data object linked to people, tasks, products and process steps
- Parallel processing through clear role assignment, understandable for everyone
- Impacts and required follow-up actions become visible immediately and remain traceable
time-consuming compliance reporting
Problem
- Compliance checks are complex, labor-intensive and time-consuming
- New legal requirements must be integrated into the process manually
- Manual report creation is error-prone and can only be done by specialists
Approach
- Compliance-relevant data is maintained once, directly on the relevant data objects
- Regulations, standards and guidelines are maintained traceably in the system as requirement sources
- Compliance check reports available from any BOM level with a click
- No additional system - views directly for quality assurance, product management and sales
no single point of truth for product and process data
Problem
- No unified data base for product, process and project data
- Data fragments are distributed across many systems without the valuable context
- Documents and master data are not linked to each other
Approach
- All relevant data objects are linked to each other
- Traceable context becomes explicit and easy to visualize through graph technology
- Fast and easily adaptable role-specific views for different specialist teams
