Manufacturing

Product lifecycle governance for complex industrial portfolios.

Industrial manufacturers face a converging set of obligations — ESPR, the Digital Product Passport, REACH, and supply chain due diligence — that demand structured product lifecycle documentation at a scale and complexity most organisations aren't currently equipped for. Skyjed provides the infrastructure.

The challenges we solve

Manufacturing product governance is uniquely complex.

Large portfolios, rigorous regulatory obligations, and the need to evidence compliance continuously — Skyjed is built for this environment.

01
Product documentation scattered across systems
Technical documentation, test certificates, material declarations, and change records exist in separate systems — PLM tools, ERP, SharePoint folders, and email. There is no single, complete view of any product's lifecycle documentation.
Skyjed's Asset Register brings all product documentation into a single, structured registry — complete, current, and accessible to every stakeholder who needs it.
02
Digital Product Passport readiness
Industrial and machinery products are entering the scope of the EU's Digital Product Passport. Manufacturers will be required to maintain structured, machine-readable lifecycle data — materials, emissions, repairability, and end-of-life documentation — for every in-scope product.
Skyjed's lifecycle documentation capabilities map directly to DPP requirements — manufacturers building this infrastructure now will be significantly ahead when enforcement arrives.
03
REACH and hazardous substances documentation
REACH requires that hazardous substance information is documented, communicated through the supply chain, and updated when product compositions change. Managing this at scale, across complex product portfolios, without structured tooling creates both compliance risk and operational burden.
Material composition and hazardous substance data structured within the product lifecycle — version-controlled, updated automatically when products change.
04
Engineering change management accountability
Product modifications, specification changes, and component substitutions require documented approval chains — for quality, safety, and regulatory reasons. In complex manufacturing environments, the accountability trail for engineering changes is often incomplete.
Every engineering change, specification update, and approval logged with full attribution and context — immutable and permanently retrievable.
05
Supply chain due diligence obligations
The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and sector-specific requirements are placing new obligations on manufacturers to document and evidence the sustainability and governance of their supply chains at the product and component level.
Supply chain and component-level documentation structured within the product record — building the traceability layer due diligence obligations require.
06
End-of-life documentation gaps
ESPR and the DPP specifically require manufacturers to document how products should be disassembled, repaired, and recycled at end-of-life. This information must be maintained throughout the product's commercial life — not added as an afterthought at discontinuation.
End-of-life documentation structured into the product lifecycle from the design stage — always current, always accessible to downstream users.

How Skyjed helps

From reactive compliance to proactive governance.

Here's how Skyjed transforms product governance for manufacturing.

Centralised product documentation registry
Every product in a single structured registry — technical documentation, test certificates, material declarations, change history, and compliance records — complete, current, and accessible across your organisation and supply chain.
Asset Register Technical documentation
🌿
DPP and ESPR readiness
Lifecycle documentation structured for the Digital Product Passport — material composition, repairability information, emissions data, and end-of-life documentation all maintained within the product record from day one.
ESPR Digital Product Passport Lifecycle data
🔬
REACH and materials compliance
Hazardous substance documentation structured within the product lifecycle — version-controlled, updated when compositions change, and always ready for supply chain communication and regulatory submission.
REACH Materials documentation Traceability
Engineering change management governance
Every specification change, component substitution, and engineering approval routed through structured governance workflows — logged, attributed, and permanently retrievable for quality, safety, and regulatory purposes.
Change management Approval workflows Audit trails
82%
reduction in manual documentation overhead
80%
of change approvals and compliance steps automated
The regulatory timeline

Manufacturing's compliance obligations are compounding — not stabilising.

The regulatory burden on industrial manufacturers is increasing across multiple dimensions simultaneously. Organisations that build unified lifecycle documentation infrastructure now will find each new obligation significantly more manageable.

Now
REACH, Machinery Regulation, ISO 9001
Existing documentation and traceability obligations — most manufacturers managing with fragmented tooling.
2025
CSRD reporting obligations expand
Large manufacturers required to report sustainability data at the product and supply chain level.
2026
Digital Product Passport — first categories
Industrial and energy-related products enter DPP scope. Lifecycle documentation and traceability become mandatory.
2027+
DPP expands across manufacturing categories
Machinery, components, and industrial products progressively enter scope. Infrastructure built now serves all future categories.
