Volkswagen Group Adopts material.one's Digital Material Sampling
material.one AG and Volkswagen Group have initiated a collaboration for the implementation of material.one's digital material sampling platform. The partnership aims to streamline the management of material requirements and approvals within automotive supply chains.
Munich – As of June 1, material.one AG, a German material technology company, has officially partnered with Volkswagen Group to implement its digital material sampling platform. This collaboration is set to significantly enhance the processes for material approval and certification management within complex automotive supply networks.
Traditionally, material sampling, which ensures components and certifications meet defined requirements, has been a demanding process in large automotive supply chains. It involves multiple stakeholders, including manufacturers, suppliers, and laboratories, who must coordinate requirements, test plans, and results across various systems and organizations.
material.one's platform offers a centralized digital workspace that integrates requirements, test plans, laboratory processes, and certifications. For major clients like Volkswagen Group, this enables standardization of processes, reduction of manual effort, and improved transparency throughout the supply chain.
The platform is expected to streamline the submission of requirements, digital processing of test plans, and the documentation of approvals. These improvements are anticipated to benefit manufacturers by providing better oversight of quality and completeness, while also making the process clearer and more manageable for suppliers. material.one will also integrate with existing IT systems to ensure a smooth implementation.
