Hear Daniel Olausson, Chief Product Officer at BIMobject and co-founder of EandoX, introduce EandoX Global Library and how it will transform your EPD workflow.
The number of available EPDs is rapidly increasing and the trend is accelerating. Until now, tapping into this growing resource has been cumbersome. We’ve listened to the market and built a solution that makes integrating EPDs into your workflow simple, scalable, and impactful.
What Is EandoX Global Library?
The Global Library in our software is a centralized, searchable digital library of EPDs and product data that empowers users to:
- Search for products or brands.
- Find existing and potential future suppliers.
- Subscribe to relevant EPDs and products, moving them from a public global library to a private, local library.
- Stay updated with automatic notifications when subscribed EPDs are revised.
- Integrate EPDs directly into your product models and documentation.
How It Works
- Data Collection & Validation: We extract and validate EPDs from open public sources.
- Digitalization: EPDs are made available in a consistent, structured format inside EandoX.
- Subscription Model:
- Subscribe to relevant EPDs.
- Subscriptions create a digital contract to maintain updates and version control.
- Product Integration:
- Subscribed EPDs can be inserted directly into your product designs.
- Helps create new EPDs, documentation, and life cycle assessments (LCAs) by using the EPDs you find in the library.
Supply Chain Support
- Keep track of all your suppliers in one place.
- Monitor status: onboarded, pending, or updated.
- Invite new suppliers or request additional data.
- Gain transparency and reduce dependency on personal networks or scattered spreadsheets.
Key Benefits
- Time-Saving: Quick access to publicly available EPDs and verified data.
- Accurate and Up-to-Date: Stay informed about changes to your subscribed EPDs.
- Better Data Quality: Improves the quality and traceability of your sustainability reporting.
What’s Next?
- Semantic Search: Soon, users will be able to search by product function (e.g., “wooden door”) instead of file type or document format.
- Placeholder Data: Generic items (e.g., screws, boards, pipes) will be available as placeholders to speed up workflows.
- LCA Report Update: Our LCA reporting tool has been significantly improved for smarter and faster report generation.
For Manufacturers: Make Your EPDs Matter
If you’re a supplier with published EPDs, you can benefit from EandoX software and reach more customers:
- Take ownership of your data in the Product Library.
- Provide richer data for your customers.
- Ensure your products are used in digital workflows and supply chain documentation.
