ETIM workshop: Classification expertise for manufacturers

Is ETIM the right standard for your product data - and what is the best way to get started?

Our workshop offers industrial companies a structured approach to ETIM classification and prepares them specifically for active participation in the standard. In practical sessions, we analyze your product data, impart the necessary basic knowledge and develop specific recommendations for sustainable integration into your existing systems and processes.

When is the ETIM workshop useful?

...you want to develop a uniform target picture with the departments involved in your company
