PLATOs Software solutions offers overall concepts and solutions to ensure that possible sources of errors are identified and eliminate during development. Universal IT support during the early stages of development is indispensable. PLATO solutions provides the concept and the tools, first by focusing on what the customer wants (QFD), followed by risk analysis (FMEA) and subsequent measure management, all the way to complete documentation plans for development and management of the manual.
- PLATO e1ns
  PLATO e1ns - The Engineering Framework
  PLATO e1ns is the web-based Engineering system for the optimal design of your product development process. With e1ns PLATO has developed a solution to optimize the early stages of the PDP. Right where you lay the foundation for cost and risk avoidance.
  - e1ns.aspects
    e1ns.aspects - Model-based engineering
    e1ns.aspects provides a visual representation of a system / product structure for developers. The intuitive and very systematic approach of e1ns.aspects automatically builds the system tree as the basis for all further activities in the product development process.
  - e1ns.dashboard
    e1ns.dashboard - Performance visualization
    Keep track of current indicators and evaluations. e1ns.dashboard provides transparency about project activities, risk and measure statistics. Existing standard evaluations of the dashboard are supplemented with own indicators and reports.
  - e1ns.documents
    e1ns.documents - Engineering assurance
    With e1ns.documents all existing documents and data are evaluated, which were created by the PLATO applications in the engineering process. An optimized search strategy ensures that the user can search by various criteria and receives meaningful results quickly. Optional filters are used to narrow the search.

  - e1ns.flow
    e1ns.flow - Modeling and visualizing processes
    e1ns.flow is a central tool in the process planning phase. Manufacturing and assembly processes are developed parallel to the development of the product. They are used as a basis for planning and calculating projects and for project meetings with customers.
  - e1ns.output
    e1ns.output - Engineering proof
    e1ns.output is an integrated module for an automated generation of individual files. These master data, results of analyses or parts thereof are combined and transferred into a structured output format. If necessary, issue-specific data of users during the creation can be entered.
  - e1ns.foundation
    e1ns.foundation - Integrating participants
    PLATO e1ns.foundation makes the complete set of knowledge in the PLATO database available - quickly, easily, and safely via the web browser. It displays the current information relating to the design, risks, and process planning in vivid graphical overviews and in the required forms.
