FAQ on Mayla
Many companies face the challenge of isolated AI solutions without deep integration during product development. Mayla is an AI assistant developed by ILC that integrates seamlessly into your existing PLM processes. Instead of introducing additional, isolated tools, teams receive intelligent support directly within their familiar PLM workflow—without any system disconnects.
Using Mayla optimizes your processes across the 5 value streams:
- VALUE STREAM 1 – IDEA TO PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE
- Requirements, specifications, functions, and system architecture.
- VALUE STREAM 2 – ARCHITECTURE TO PRODUCT DESIGN
- Product configuration, features, rules, and engineering BOM.
- VALUE STREAM 3 – PRODUCT DESIGN TO PRODUCTION DESIGN
- Plants, resources, manufacturing BOM, and production schedule.
- VALUE STREAM 4 – FROM ARCHITECTURE TO VALIDATION PLAN
- Design validation plan.
- VALUE STREAM 5 – PROTOTYPE TO ACCEPTANCE TEST
- Test specimens, requirements, test cases, test results, and acceptance test.
Mayla drives efficiency gains throughout the product development process, ensures seamless integration into workflows, provides a better basis for data-driven decision-making, automates tasks, and supports innovation opportunities.
Through unified, AI-powered product development—from the initial product idea through to manufacturing—every object is linked and traceable. This enables end-to-end traceability all the way to the digital thread.
- Mayla has a modular design to provide targeted support for various tasks in the PLM workflow.
- Mayla Guide, Mayla Docu, and Mayla Action provide targeted support with AI assistants for your daily work with 4PEP.
- Mayla Rapid Architecture supports the “Idea to Product Architecture” value stream. Requirements, specifications, documents, and ideas are gradually combined to form a structured product and system architecture.
- Mayla provides support, in particular, in the development and structuring of requirements, functions, and system architectures, as well as in the reuse of existing project knowledge.
- Mayla Rapid Design supports the “Architecture to Product Design” value stream. Based on architectures, requirements, prompts, sketches, or existing product information, product structures—including features, variants, rules, and dependencies—can be created and further developed.
- Mayla Insight analyzes historical data and helps identify correlations and trends. This makes it possible, for example, to analyze process trends and provide forecasts as an additional basis for decision-making.
