Patent attributes
Embodiments are directed to computer systems and methods that provide a data-driven approach to product benchmarking. The systems and methods identify a product being developed on a product development platform. The systems and methods repeatedly evaluate products similar in operation to the identified product. In response to the evaluation, the systems and methods automatically determine current performance capabilities of the similar products and digitize the determined current performance capabilities as current benchmark parameters in a central database integrated within the platform. The systems and methods generate output, by an application of the platform, based on searching the current benchmark parameters in the database, and develop functions and parts for the identified product using the generated output. For example, the systems and methods may invoke a modeling application of the platform to automatically determine a part for the identified product by performing a simulation using the searched current benchmark parameters.
