Automobile and associated component manufacturers must handle diverse materials information - from rubbers to alloys to paints and coatings

Materials data is important for transport engineering applications from cars to trains

Manufacturers of off-highway vehicles must balance materials cost and performance

Note: for automotive parts suppliers, see Industrial & Consumer Equipment >>>

Highlights

Apply materials information to optimize materials strategy - for example, supporting cost control or quality initiatives
Help to ensure regulatory compliance - for example, with EuP, RoHS, and REACH legislation
Integrate materials information management with your PLM process, saving your designers time in getting the materials data that they need
Control and manage testing and quality assurance data to increase efficiency and protect corporate knowledge

Example solutions for automotive and transportation

Materials decision support for enterprise

In an automotive or similar enterprise you typically use hundreds of different materials, supporting hundreds of different applications. Your organization is probably split across different businesses or sites. Regulation and global manufacturing pose further challenges. Granta can help you to consolidate and control all relevant materials data and information, and to use it to make better, more consistent materials decisions enterprise-wide. Results are lower costs, reduced risk, and fewer eco or manufacturing problems. More...

Eco design and eco regulations

Every engineering organization must now design with environmental regulations such as REACH in mind. Eco objectives are increasingly central to corporate goals. Materials are central to these issues, because regulation constrains what materials can be used, and because materials properties determine much of the environmental impact of products. Granta develops and applies software and data solutions to aid design around environmental constraints. More...

Support for engineering design and analysis (CAD, CAE/FEA...)

You need accurate, up-to-date materials property information as input to your CAE, FEA or other engineering software. Granta helps you to manage and control this vital information and to provide access from directly within these third-party applications. More...
