Granta for aerospace & defense
Making the best use of materials such as alloys, composites, and ceramics, often under extreme conditions, is critical to aerospace and defense enterprises. The management and use of information relating to these materials can make or break projects or processes.
Granta works with world-leading aerospace and defense organizations. We help you to manage and use materials data, while our aerospace data series provides the high quality reference information that you need. More...
Granta for automotive & transportation
If you make vehicles - from trains, to automobiles, to commercial vehicles - then how you use information on materials properties is vital to your business:
you need data on physical properties - strength, lightness, toughness - to optimize performance; materials cost data is essential to any cost control initiative; you must understand environmental properties in order to comply with changing regulations.
Granta's software helps you manage and apply critical materials data to save money, improve quality, and reduce risk. More...
Granta for energy & nuclear
In nuclear applications, safety and quality are paramount in your use of materials. This demands rigor in managing and using materials information - for example, ensuring that design data can be traced to its source. Such requirements are met by our GRANTA MI system.
For all energy applications, including conventional power generation, fuel cells, and renewable resources, we provide valuable reference data and help to manage and apply test and other materials data. More...
Granta for government agencies & labs
Governmental organizations have wide-ranging requirements for accessing, managing, and using materials information. You may be conducting advanced research in areas such as energy, materials, defense, or environmental impact. Or you may work for an organization that sets and maintains standards. Or you may have a design or manufacturing role in an area such as space, nuclear energy, defense, or communications.
Granta helps you through our GRANTA MI materials information management system, our CES Selector design tools, and our unrivalled materials reference data. More...
Granta for high technology
Chip manufacturers, telecommunications enterprises, nanotechnology ventures - such companies continually optimize products, and the materials from which they are made. To achieve this you need the right materials information. You must capture and use information about your own materials, and be able to access and apply data on the universe of potentially useful materials.
Granta helps through our GRANTA MI materials information management system, our CES Selector design tools, and our unrivalled materials reference data. More...
Granta for industrial and consumer equipment manufacturers
Materials optimization is a key concern for industrial and consumer equipment designers and manufacturers. This usually means 'make it cheaper.' But it can also mean 'make it lighter,' 'make it smaller,' 'make it more eco-friendly,' 'make it safer,' or 'make it more reliable.' In particular, compliance with regulations on environmental impact and use of hazardous materials is becoming increasingly important.
Granta’s materials information technology helps companies to achieve such objectives. More...
Granta for materials producers
Companies that develop and supply alloys, composites, plastics, or ceramics must apply materials information in support of a wide range of decisions.
Not only must they optimize production and processing of the raw material, they also need quantitative tools to position their products against the competition and to guide customers' decisions relating to materials selection, use, and disposal.
Granta helps to capture and manage relevant information, to apply this information in guiding the right decisions, and to present and explain those decisions. More...
Granta for medical devices
Materials are of central importance to new product development in the medical device industry. Product designers need the right data to inform decisions on selection, substitution, qualification, regulation, and bio-compatibility, as well as for design calculations.
Granta ensures that the best data is used - whether by supplying external reference data tailored to medical applications or by helping to manage and access proprietary information. More...
Granta for motorsports
Managing and using materials information efficiently are key elements of a streamlined design and development process. They are essential in the time-critical, performance-limited motorsports environment.
Granta provides specialized materials engineering software and services to leading motorsports organizations such as Ferrari and Renault F1. More...
Granta for online publishing
If you are a publisher, trade association, professional society, government laboratory, or industry consortium working in the field of materials or manufacturing, it is likely that you want to publish materials information or data to end-users. But if you have ever tried publishing materials information on the web or on CD, you will know it is not as straightforward as it might appear!
Granta can help you. We are the experts in managing and deploying materials information, and we support organizations like yours with their online publishing needs. More...
