The technical network

Engineering is not a linear process.Why should your knowledge be?

Problems create downstream effects. Ideas solve several things at once. Patents show known paths. Decisions change risks. inventMAP keeps these relationships in one shared technical network. The network is the shared working model for product development in inventMAP.

Knowledge network of patents, research, technologies, markets, materials and applications.

The context gets lost

The knowledge is there.The context is missing.

Engineering produces knowledge all the time. But every tool stores only its own slice. Two months later it is still documented what was decided – but often no longer why.

inventMAP does not just store results.It stores technical relationships.

A problem becomesa shared working model.

Every new thought docks where it belongs technically. What grows is not a folder – but a traceable model of the project.

Real product view
A network in inventMAP: cause, problem, contradiction and solution ideas stay connected through their relationships – the contradiction is written out and carries its inventive principles.

The network knows the context.That makes suggestions more relevant.

Technical component with a highlighted problem area, relevant context from project knowledge, patents, research and physical effects, and three resulting solution directions.

Not more ideas for the sake of it.Better technical starting points.

Gee, the AI companion of inventMAP, as a glowing network in the shape of a head.

Gee does not just know your question.He knows the network behind it.

He sees causes, open contradictions, rejected paths and existing ideas. He asks follow-up questions, highlights leverage points and suggests suitable thinking tools – your team decides.

  1. 01“Which problem causes the most follow-up problems?”
  2. 02“Which assumption keeps this contradiction artificially alive?”
  3. 03“This solution was rejected earlier. Does the reason from back then still apply?”

Knowledge that works again

When the project ends,the reasoning should not disappear.

An idea can be rejected for a good reason today — and become relevant again years later. inventMAP preserves not only the idea, but also the constraint behind the earlier decision. When that constraint changes, previous engineering knowledge becomes useful again.

Timeline showing an earlier discarded engineering solution becoming relevant again in a later project after a constraint changes.

Any system can store knowledge.Recovering the reason behind a decision is different.

The same technical model.Different perspectives.

A technical network in the centre, linked to four perspectives: patents & research, foresight, FMEA and strategy.

All perspectives use the same technical model.

Knowledge should enter the networkwithout duplicate maintenance.

  1. 01
    MeetingNetwork

    Minutes are translated into proposed problems, causes and solutions. A person confirms.

  2. 02
    RequirementNetwork

    Open requirements become problems and stay traceably connected until they are solved.

Methodology in the background.Engineering thinking in the foreground.

Function analysis, contradictions, TRIZ, effects, FMEA and other methods step in where they help. The engineer does not have to become a methods expert first.

Real product view
Solutions sit directly at the problem – with description, verification and evidence, not as an isolated chat answer.

Confidential development knowledgebelongs under your control.

Take a problemyour team is dealing with right now.

No demo case. A real technical problem – and you see whether inventMAP makes relationships visible that are spread across files, heads and tools today.
