PLATO e1ns is the central platform for the optimal design of the product development process. Transparent development processes, a common understanding of the system and good, networked collaboration provide the basis for economic, fast and successful product development.
PLATO e1ns is the system for the optimal design of the product development process (PDP). With e1ns PLATO has developed a solution that works in the early stages of PDP. Right where you lay the foundation for cost and risk avoidance.
The e1ns framework combines the phases of the PDP with the required development methods and thus offers a platform for optimally linking methods and phases to each other. In this case, e1ns makes all forms available to you, and these forms are specially designed to match your development process. The specification of milestones as well as the integrated action and document management system ensure in all phases that deadlines are maintained as well as guarantee transparency for all those involved – all over the world.
You control the PDP by specifying milestones and the activities arising in connection with them. With e1ns, you will always be able to maintain an overview. The integrated dashboard function provides you with visualized key figures regarding deadlines, activities, risks, etc. The comprehensive e1ns solution is supported by a web-based client, which guarantees global access as well as reduced installation costs.
At the beginning of the development process, the focus is on the needs of the customer and the creative idea of the developer. Even the first steps require optimal conditions in order to enable efficient, methodical support and allow interdisciplinary development. Methods and data are provided so that they intermesh and can be edited and processed in parallel. Depending on the requirements, the systems are modelled (SysML) or a systematic requirements analysis (QFD) is performed. A common data and system representation increases the quality of innovation, reduces repetition in the process, and provides a sound basis for making decisions.
We create an individual method framework for you according to the methods you need for your development process. From requirements management to the test phase (e.g. the design verification plan); PLATO e1ns offers you tailor-made methods that fit your development process exactly and also provide you with the corresponding forms. By linking the method framework and the system model, everyone involved has easy access to the relevant and most up-to-date data and documents.
Using e1ns, you gain easy access to all engineering information and understand it, regardless of its source. This enables you to make the right decisions at the right time - meaning you can convert the knowledge gained in product development to positive business results.
e1ns offers an open, integrated systematic approach in product development so that your engineering teams always have access to all engineering information available. Furthermore, the teams also have an overview of how their engineering decisions affect other disciplines. Your benefits: Thoroughly robust results due to the ability to access approved, completed, and tested (or functioning) developments. e1ns is the central hub and connects your teams regardless of where they are located!
e1ns supports the method of continuous verification. Methods like FMEA, risk management, and functional safety reveal defects in the early phases of the development process, and these defects are thus easier and less expensive to eliminate. Together with the continuous validation, you take one step further: Early detection of potential business interruptions and help to avoid errors!
You want to make your Excel data available for global evaluations and process control? In e1ns, you can use these forms. They are up to date and easy to find, network, and control, and are available immediately and globally for your development process. Data is transported automatically and securely from one worksheet to the next. The flow of data is guarantees and does not depend on manual intervention any more.
Important results from development generated by Excel as well as many other special tools as artifacts have a secure and easily accessible place in the engineering framework using e1ns. The ability to edit, version, and approve them is guaranteed. The content and metadata of these documents can be found immediately using a full-text index. Everything is designed for simple and intuitive use.
