Accelerating Product Innovation with Automated Requirement Identification

A diversified manufacturer embedded Daptic into its R&D process to automatically identify applicable regulatory requirements for new products, reducing research costs and accelerating global product development.

The Challenge

The company needed to determine which regulations and standards applied whenever a new product concept was developed. This process was handled manually by internal teams and supplemented by external consultants. Each research report cost approximately $75,000–$100,000, yet results were still incomplete and error-prone due to the volume and complexity of global requirements.

Because the analysis took significant time, regulatory questions became a bottleneck in innovation. Engineering teams often waited for compliance confirmation before progressing, slowing time-to-market and delaying product launches. In some cases, requirements were discovered late in development, creating redesign risk and uncertainty about market access across regions.

The Solution

Daptic implemented automated requirement identification as part of the company’s product development workflow. The platform analyzes product characteristics and intended markets to identify applicable global regulations and standards early in the lifecycle.

Instead of performing manual research or commissioning external studies, engineering and regulatory teams now receive structured applicability assessments and supporting regulatory context. The system also highlights the most regulatory-efficient pathways to launch across jurisdictions, allowing teams to make design and market-entry decisions earlier. Daptic became embedded across innovation and R&D processes, serving as the first step in new product planning.
