Introduction
Makersite is a product data platform from Makersite GmbH in Stuttgart, Germany. It imports CAD, ERP and PLM data and maps it to a digital model of each product. On this model it calculates life cycle assessments (LCAs), product carbon footprints (PCFs), compliance status and supply chain risk.
Purpose and Target Audience
Makersite is built for manufacturers with many products and complex supply chains. Its users are engineers, procurement teams and sustainability experts who need product level environmental data for design and sourcing decisions.
Key Features
- Automated LCA and PCF: Calculate life cycle assessments and product carbon footprints from existing product data.
- EPD automation: Prepare environmental product declarations from the same product models.
- Scope 3 emissions: Estimate supply chain emissions for purchased goods.
- Material compliance: Check materials and substances against compliance requirements.
- Ecodesign: Compare design options with AI support and enrich chemical and material data.
- System integrations: Import data from CAD, ERP and PLM systems, with connectors for PTC Windchill and Siemens Teamcenter.
- Supply chain insight: Show deep tier supply chain risk and transparency, plus cost and should-cost outputs.
Benefits
Makersite reduces the manual work of building LCA models product by product. Because it reuses CAD, ERP and PLM data, teams can calculate footprints for a whole portfolio and update them when designs or suppliers change. The same model supports environmental, compliance and cost questions, so engineering and procurement work from one data set.
Conclusion
Makersite suits manufacturers that want to automate LCA and PCF work across many products and link it to sourcing and design decisions.
