Sustainable Product Design and Innovation

Product Compliance Software – manage material data and substance compliance

Superior product compliance can be a major competitive advantage, but using multiple systems to track material and substance compliance is costly and time-consuming.

Integrated material and substance compliance management can be a major competitive advantage, but using multiple systems to track the vast amount of information is costly and time-consuming.

Our Product Compliance Software Suite helps you manage material data and substance compliance information throughout the product lifecycle. We empower you to design innovative products with the material in mind and check your Bill of Materials (BoM) for specific substances in accordance with various environmental compliance regulations.

By integrating Product Compliance Software in product life cycle management, CAD and ERP systems you can create a single source of access for all relevant material and substance compliance information to speed up your work.

Key features

Design with the material in mind

Design innovative products withmaterials in mind, then optimize and validate the use of materials from engineering analysis and simulation through manufacturing.

Integrate material management with product life cycle management

Link the life cycle of your material data with the life cycle of your product (PLM). Our integrated material management transforms material data into true product intelligence, so you can make smarter decisions about materials.

Use your Bill of Material to trace restricted substances

Simply take your existing product data in the form of a Bill of Materials (BoM) and use our tools to quickly and easily check your product against specific substances in accordance with various environmental compliance regulations (REACH, RoHS, Conflict Minerals, custom).  Determine the effect of asubstance regulation on your product early in the lifecycle, and understand the impact on your bottom line.

Top Applications

Compliance Risk Screener (SolidWorks)

Import SolidWorks data directly and maps againstcompliance data. Check if any of the components andmaterials within productsare subject to complianceregulations.

REACH / RoHS Compliance Checker

Check your Bill of Materialsfor risks of non-compliancewith the RoHS regulations or European REACH regulation.

Substance Compliance Manager

Draw complianceinformation from your supply chains and validate the compliance of your ownproducts for various regulations (REACH, RoHS, Conflict Minerals etc.) early in the design phase.

Integrated Materials Manager

Get a holistic view of material data for use in all phases of the product lifecycle. Select, understand and use material consistently over PLM, CAD and ERP systems.

Benefits to Your Business

Improve Customer satisfaction

Provide a single source of accurate and compliant data and customer sanctioned materials to support design for the environment (DfE) initiatives for customers

Increase efficiency through integration

Increase efficiency with the quick and easy selection and use ofmaterials in Teamcenter PLM and various CAD and simulation tools such as Solidworks.

Reduce error and costly rework

Reduce error by automating the exchange of material and substancedeclarations with suppliers and integrating environmentalcompliance early in the productdesign stage.

Protect your reputation and brand value

Enhance public awareness of your environmental credentials and position your brand as a leader in corporate social responsibility. Pull ahead of competitors in positive perception of your commitment to product and material sustainability.

Reduce development cost
