Accuris Thread™ Tool Simplifies Digital Requirements Management for Engineers

Revolutionary Software Transforms Engineering by Seamlessly Integrating Requirements into the Product Lifecycle

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accuris, the market leader in engineering standards content and technology, today announced the launch of Accuris Thread, a cloud-based requirements solution that saves time and money for engineers. The software identifies, extracts, and enhances digital requirements for use across model-based enterprises and engineering systems – including product lifecycle management, requirements management, and digital modeling tools.

Large enterprises could save millions of dollars annually in capital exposure by leveraging Accuris Thread technology to compare internal specifications with industry standards, reducing the costs of over-engineering and risks of under-engineering products.

The Accuris Thread solution extracts requirements from engineering content like standards, codes, design guides and internal specifications, packages and embeds them into engineering applications, and preserves the context of the source material. It digitally connects engineering teams and functions across the product lifecycle – from requirements definition to design, testing to validation, prototyping and building, and change management to obsolescence.

“Many of our customers have said their engineers’ first-pass accuracy in identifying and extracting requirements from standards and specifications is about 70 percent,” said Mike Arnold, Executive Director, Product and Technology at Accuris. “Our tool has a 90 percent accuracy rate in requirements identification and extraction, improving the ability for engineers to find information, assess change impacts, and make decisions faster.”

“Optimizing engineering workflows is at the core of what we do at Accuris,” said Claude Pumilia, CEO at Accuris. “The launch of the Accuris Thread solution expands our portfolio of purpose-built solutions designed to provide engineers with quick access to accurate and reliable data throughout the engineering lifecycle. Accuris Thread technology identifies, extracts, and enriches requirements within engineering specifications and standards, enabling engineers to make more informed decisions.”

The Accuris Thread software empowers organizations to make data-driven decisions, accelerate innovation, and reduce costs in managing complex systems and processes, including:

• Accelerated project timelines: streamlining requirements definition with automated requirements identification, extraction and comparison.
• Improved collaboration and knowledge sharing: enabling organizations to trace engineering requirements to their source of knowledge, avoiding miscommunications and guesswork.
• Optimized impact analysis and change management: assisting engineers to understand the impact of changes quickly with information in context.
• End-to-end traceability: helping organizations improve compliance and enabling traceability by maintaining a clear connection between requirements, designs, and test cases.
