Hardware teams are building products in the dark.
Your BOM lives in a spreadsheet. Your carbon data lives in a PDF from last quarter. Your compliance status lives in someone’s inbox. None of these are connected. None of them update in real time.
When a supplier changes a sub-material, you don’t know. When an aluminium price spikes 8%, you find out on invoice day. When a regulation changes the threshold for a restricted substance, the first you hear of it is a failed audit.
Environmental data is treated as a report, not a signal. Compliance is treated as a sprint at the end of a project, not a continuous state. Supplier data is treated as static, not dynamic.
Starting 2027, EU ESPR requires Digital Product Passports for products sold in Europe. Most teams are not building the data that will generate them.
Sil was built to close that gap.
Your product, as a connected system.
Build a living graph of your product — parts, materials, suppliers, and certifications all connected. Every node carries live data. Every relationship propagates change. When one thing shifts, you see exactly what else moves.
- ◆Parts, materials, and suppliers in one spatial view
- ◆Real-time CO₂e propagation across the full graph
- ◆Compliance status per node — not per spreadsheet row
- ◆Designed for teams that iterate fast
Impact calculated.
Not estimated. Not guessed.
Calculated.
Sil runs ISO 14040-compliant LCA calculations on every node in your graph. Swap a material and the carbon footprint recalculates in under 2 seconds — across all five impact categories, from cradle to grave.
Every material has an alternative.
Now you can see the trade-off in seconds.
Select any material node. Sil surfaces alternatives with quantified CO2e delta, cost delta, and compatibility flags — ranked by impact reduction potential.
The world changes.
Your product should know about it.
Regulations update. Commodity prices move. Supplier compliance changes. Sil surfaces the signals that matter to your specific product — not a generic news feed, but a targeted intelligence stream tied to the nodes on your canvas.
Your passport builds itself.
Every material you add, every supplier you link, every LCA you run — all of it populates your Digital Product Passport automatically. When you’re ready, export a machine-readable JSON for EU compliance.
From blank canvas to compliance-ready.
Built for every role on the product team.
You make material decisions every day that have environmental consequences you never see. Sil surfaces the carbon and compliance cost of each choice — before it becomes a problem in manufacturing.
- ◆See CO₂e impact of material choices in context
- ◆Explore alternatives without leaving your workflow
- ◆Understand compliance requirements per component
Your BOM is the source of truth — but it doesn't know about carbon, compliance, or supplier risk. Sil is a living BOM that propagates changes across cost, CO₂e, and regulatory status simultaneously.
- ◆Live BOM with carbon data per line item
- ◆Change propagation across the full graph
- ◆Supplier compliance status per component
You need to report on environmental performance, satisfy audit requests, and prepare for DPP requirements — but the data is fragmented across tools. Sil gives you a single source that updates automatically.
- ◆One place for all environmental data
- ◆DPP readiness tracked continuously
- ◆Audit-ready exports on demand
What hardware teams told us
"Teams described their BOM as a 'living spreadsheet' with no authoritative version — changes fell through the cracks between CAD, procurement, and compliance."
"Environmental data was consistently described as a 'snapshot from last quarter' — accurate at time of report, disconnected from active design."
"DPP awareness was high but readiness was low — most teams expected a future sprint to 'do the compliance work,' not a continuous process."
Paraphrased themes from Sil early-access research interviews, February 2026. Not direct quotes.
The data requirements are already in force.
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) entered into force in July 2024. It is not a future proposal — it is the active regulatory framework that will mandate Digital Product Passports starting with textiles and furniture in 2027, and electronics in 2028–2029.
DPP compliance is not a documentation task. It requires that your product data be structured, machine-readable, and continuously maintained. That means the work starts with your first design decision, not your last sprint before launch.
Teams building products today for European markets in 2027 and beyond need a data infrastructure that tracks materials, impacts, and compliance status from day one. That infrastructure is Sil.
