Truenumbers is the first general-purpose technology to allow manufacturing teams to build and manage their own digital thread in a consistent, secure and traceable way. It effortlessly centralizes information across all disciplines, consistent with Systems Engineering principles, and makes everything about data easier for all aspects of manufacturing from day one. When the numbers are well managed, manufacturing is well managed.

“When you are keeping a fleet of sophisticated military airplanes flying ... a simple calculation that goes unchecked can have catastrophic results. With truenumbers, we will be able to manage and share critical data, including design parameters and materials properties, ensuring that anyone on the team can easily get the most up-to-date information.”
— Ricardo Garcia, Naval Air Systems Command

  • A universal digital thread under user control

  • Slashes verification and validation overhead

  • Captures process and telemetry histories at any scale

  • Makes Excel and other MS-Office documents traceable

  • Supports continuous improvement w/o big I.T. projects

  • Archiving and re-use of critical information

Systems Engineering is more than models

From concept and requirements definition, down and up the “vee” model and back, manufacturing is a complex set of processes with numbers and other data flowing among them. Models are key, but engineering decisions and know-how are reported in documents, spreadsheets, tools, and data files. PLM and MBSE systems manage these silos, but numbers and facts need to be pulled together into engineering reports and decisions in a traceable way. This is the dream of digital threads.

Truenumbers is the first system designed to support dataflow across manufacturing systems and personnel. It makes sense to be able to verify a particular numbers as the latest approved requirement in a final report, rather than having to find and compare it against a (hopefully) versioned requirements document or requirements management tool. Simply put, if your key facts are managed, the life-cycle is managed.

A game-changer for technical data

Having numbers know what they mean, their units, where they came from and more, in Excel, Word, calculations and in C#, Java or Javascript, makes everything easier. Your teams will naturally evolve useful collections of truenumbers, new processes, and easier ways of doing things without database design or software development.

The age-old questions "what's that number? Are you sure it's right? Where can I find it?" become a lot easier to answer.  Quality, data reuse and traceability go through the roof, while risks and re-work decrease.   Contact us about a demonstration or pilot project.
