Everything starts with a storage process. When a component or assembly is checked into the PDM / PLM system, the Data-Driven Engine starts and creates the perfect data for all subsequent processes from the product-describing data. This data stream is perfect and can be used in a variety of ways throughout the company.

The artificial intelligence - the Luminarity - takes over and classifies the components fully automatically. The Luminarity directly writes the material group key and creates all relevant parameters in the PDM / PLM or ERP system. At the same time, the system suggests the optimal name for the components. Similar, already existing items are identified and reported with SID - similar item detection.

Data-Driven Costing calculates the costs of the components fully automatically. The costs are calculated using standardized cost models for different quantities and transferred to the PDM / PLM system. At the same time, the CO2e emissions are calculated and written to the systems.

The software PSI - predictive saving identifier takes over. The parametric cost models are connected to the ERP system and are continuously monitored. An evaluation of the various predictions (costs, etc.) is made directly. If a specific threshold is exceeded or not reached, the system sounds an alarm.

Our AI, the Luminarity, suggests the ideal supplier per component. Different criteria can be selected, which influence the prediction. If an internal production is available, Luminarity evaluates the Make/Buy situation and directly selects the ideal production machine for the components (part allocation with AI).

As soon as components have an order transaction, the evaluation of the price is automated. The article master is enriched with all necessary information. It is ensured that the subsequent disciplines find the perfect data in the system.
