Why GRANTA MI?
Granta works closely with a wide range of engineering enterprises
to develop GRANTA MI. We listen carefully to the critical issues
identified by the materials scientists, engineers, and managers who deal
with materials information. Such collaboration, especially through the
mechanism of the Material
Data Management Consortium,
ensures that GRANTA MI addresses customers' issues. Below, you can
read some typical problems, and how GRANTA MI solves
them. These fall into three categories:
GRANTA MI helps enterprises across a range of industries, including aerospace, defense, energy,
automotive, motorsport,
electronic and electrical, medical
devices, publishing,
and materials production.
You can read customer
reports from NASA, Rolls Royce, Moen, Renault Formula 1 , and more.
Your problems solved
Increasing efficiency
“I waste a lot of time finding, handling, and manipulating
data.”
With GRANTA
MI, it’s easy – it’s all there in a single system. For
materials scientists, this means a simpler workflow and greater control
over key data. For engineers, GRANTA MI allows integration
with their standard finite element or PLM systems so that they can
access the data without disrupting their workflow.
“We work with many fragmented systems – this slows
us down and risks duplicating effort.”
GRANTA MI is a single, shared system, so that everyone can find approved
data and methodologies, when and where they need them. It ensures
that results, such as those from materials testing and analysis, are
certified and deployed to engineers.
“The knowledge that we develop is
not used to its full potential.”
GRANTA MI helps materials scientists to develop and deliver
design allowable information to engineers consistently, and in a context
and format that they use; the result is that your investment in materials
science has much greater impact at my company.
“We need to demonstrate a return on investment from expenses
on systems and processes.”
GRANTA MI has been selected by leading organizations
because it helps them to make better decisions and use resources more
effectively – increasing
productivity and reducing cost in the engineering process.
Improving quality
“Our materials scientists and managers want better control
to ensure that everyone uses up-to-date and accurate information.”
GRANTA MI puts organizations in control of their information. Your materials
scientists can control and certify a central source of up-to-date data
that is accessed by all users.
“Our engineers are often unsure which
number to use and risk using inconsistent or low quality data.”
GRANTA
MI means that engineers know what data is approved by corporate
materials scientists, and where to find it. And it makes it easy for
them to do this.
“We’re using data with variable pedigree and we’re
not using all of the information available to us to make the best decisions.”
GRANTA MI improves design decisions, ensuring that you have the information
that you need and that the pedigree of that data can be tracked and assured.
Reducing risk
and managing liability
“We need to get in line with best practice – certification
is too much time and effort, and we're concerned about liability
if we ever need to trace a design back to the fundamental data.”
GRANTA
MI is designed to address critical best practice issues in managing
materials information – it makes it much easier to certify designs
and reduce risk by storing all of the key information in one place and
in an easy-to-use and traceable manner.
“I need to minimize risk in our process.”
GRANTA MI offers robust
security for your data, ensures that your materials scientists and engineers
use better quality, consistent data in designing products, and aids traceability
to help manage product liability.
“I need to respond to changes in regulation and the business
environment.”
GRANTA
MI helps you to manage corporate knowledge and provides a systematic
way for you to respond to regulatory changes – for example, GRANTA
MI customers are now able to quickly introduce new tools to assess
the environmental impact of product designs.
