The right component, with a justification that holds up
An engineer wants not just an answer, but also the why behind it. PimLayer IQ+ combines your product specifications with the applicable standards and with what colleagues have already worked out in earlier projects. That gives you a technical selection that matches your own reality, with justification.
Instead of laying out ten datasheets side by side yourself, you ask your question in plain language. IQ+ filters on the properties that matter, takes the environment and the application into account, and points to the source of every claim.
Selecting on the properties that matter
Pressure, temperature, corrosion class, material, fire behaviour: for building materials and installation engineering it is exactly those parameters that determine whether a product is suitable. IQ+ searches your own range on those criteria and proposes the appropriate options, with the relevant differences between them. No guesswork about your catalogue, but a selection from what you actually carry.
Backed up with your projects and the standards
A good choice rests on more than a datasheet. It rests on the experience from earlier projects and on the standards that apply. IQ+ brings those together: the proposal points to the product sheet, to the standard and to the comparable project in which the choice already proved itself. That way your engineer can quickly validate the answer instead of trusting it blindly.
What IQ+ relies on for engineering
- Your product specifications, attributes and relationships from PimLayer.
- Your technical datasheets and documents.
- Earlier projects and the choices made in them.
- The applicable standards (ISO, EN and sector-specific) and your internal guidelines.
Examples of what you can ask
- Choosing a steel grade for a structure in a salty environment, with a reference to the standard and to comparable projects.
- Selecting a component on pressure, temperature and chemical resistance, filtered from your own catalogue.
- Checking whether two parts may be used together, based on your internal compatibility rules.
- Justifying a technical choice for the design file, with the right references.
