material.one AG Digitize Sampling for Volkswagen Group Suppliers

German technology company material.one AG has released a series of professional articles focusing on its platform's role in digitizing material sampling and quality assurance processes, particularly for automotive industry suppliers.

A key publication, "Digital Sampling with material.one for Volkswagen Group Suppliers," outlines how material.one provides digital support for Volkswagen's material sampling process, covering inspection plans, material data, and collaboration with subcontractors and laboratories. The article notes that as the automotive industry becomes more connected, analog approval processes are reaching their limits, and material.one aims to provide a digital solution for creating standardized test plans and integrating material data.

Further publications delve into the hidden costs associated with initial material sampling (such as PPF/VDA, PPAP/IATF), which can amount to up to €9,000 per process. material.one offers articles exploring the causes of these costs and presenting digital solutions. One article, "From "paper chaos" to intelligent quality assurance: How VDA standards are revolutionizing sampling," highlights the potential of VDA standards (e.g., VDA 231-300/301) to shorten development times through more efficient quality assurance.

The company also emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainability directly into the product development process. Berlin-based material.one AG is dedicated to providing software solutions that enhance quality and efficiency across industries requiring precise material handling and quality control.
