Eliminating market barriers
Protecting intellectual property

By integrating Engineering Workbench into your innovation processes, you experience the benefits of the following:

Increased efficiency and productivity
Engineering Workbench offers a unique combination of software and content help to increase the efficiency and productivity of every engineer and innovation specialist.
Engineering Workbench integrates the following:
- Powerful methodology to provide insight into the right problems to solve
- Precision semantic research capabilities, optimized for extracting innovation content
- Critical cross-disciplinary innovation content to help solve problems and to foster new ideas
Unparalleled access to diverse innovation content
Engineering Workbench provides an interface that enables precise semantic research of Accuris sources (which includes patent collections, articles and journals collections, and the Scientific Effects database):
- Accuris sources includes Standards Expert, ESDU, GlobalSpec Product Selection Guides, and iSuppli. Accuris content also includes the IHS Scientific Effects database, which contains over 9,000 unique scientific effects and examples, making it the largest scientific library in the world. Its unique cross-disciplinary, function-oriented organization provides indispensable problem-solving power for innovation professionals.
- Patent documents from USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and JPO can be searched. PDF images of original patents are available from search results. Patent collections are pre-indexed, presummarized, and updated weekly by Accuris.
- Accuris's pre-indexed collections of Articles, including IEEE articles, PubMed abstracts, Springer articles, Institute of Physics articles, and many more.
Ability to generate and validate more concepts

Engineering Workbench enables users to semantically search a broad base of cross-disciplinary innovation content from a single interface. Semantic searching lets users systematically analyze, conceive, research, and validate more cost-effective, higher-quality product and process configurations. Both the breadth of content and the ability to perform precise-concept searches dramatically accelerates the process of generating and validating quality solutions.
