MADe taxonomy mentions in PHM Technology marketing one-pagers

Two PHM Technology product one-pagers (public, no login) were pulled and OCR'd. Neither contains a full enumerated taxonomy, but both independently corroborate the four-domain taxonomy structure and give one additional data point: a fifth taxonomy the KB does not currently mention — a Sensor taxonomy.

"MADe for Modelling" one-pager (Module Overview – MADe Modelling)

Quoted:

"The visual representation of the system is based on a standardized taxonomy of functions and failure concepts (MADe Taxonomies) to ensure consistency across an organization and facilitate knowledge capture & transfer."

"MADe Taxonomies — The MADe Taxonomy ensures that the definition and interpretation of engineering terminology is consistent across the organisation / enterprise.

• Failure taxonomy – causes, mechanisms, faults and symptoms
• Functional taxonomy – component's function and flow properties
• Environmental factors – system operates and its relative impacts"

The one-pager's Figure 3 caption reads: "Function, Flow, Mechanism and Sensor taxonomy (from left to right)" — i.e., the product actually ships (or shipped, as of this document's writing) with at least four distinct taxonomy trees: Function, Flow, (failure) Mechanism, and Sensor. The accompanying screenshot (embedded raster image within the PDF, low resolution) shows partial tree contents:

• A Function tree: Branch (Distribute, Divide, Extract, Refine, Remove/Separate, Separate)
• A Flow tree: Energy (Acoustic, Chemical, Electrical, Electromagnetic, Generic, Hydraulic, Magnetic, Mechanical-linear, Mechanical-rotational, Pneumatic, Thermal); Material (Gas, Liquid, Human, Biological, Plastic/elastomeric with failure-mechanism children: Binding, Creep, ...)
• A Sensor taxonomy tree with categories including: Acceleration; Angle/position (with sample sensors: Encoding disc, Gyroscope/Inertial Reference Unit, MEMS, Optical, Spinning mass, Torque Fork, Vibrating/Piezoelectric); Environmental (with sample sensors: Liquid capacitive inclinometer, Rotary/shaft encoder, Tilt switch, Variable reluctance sensor)

The one-pager's "Features" list also names Taxonomy and Library as standalone features of the MADe Modelling module, alongside System Modelling, Automated Dependency Mapping, Annotations, and Palette.

"MADe overview" one-pager

Quoted, "Key issues in the current design process... that MADe solves":

"data quality – ensuring that failure concept and functional descriptions are consistent by providing standardised taxonomies"

Quoted, "Why use MADe?":

"MADe prevents problems associated with linguistic interpretation for functional relationships by enforcing a clearly defined vocabulary for functions and failure concepts. Synonyms for terms are provided with illustrative examples to assist the user in ensuring accurate and consistent usage of the taxonomy."

Quoted, "Key features of MADe include":

"- standardised taxonomy of failure concepts

• standardised taxonomy of functions
• a structured framework for modelling system functional dependencies"

Assessment

No downloadable full-taxonomy PDF or spreadsheet was found among PHM Technology's public assets — these one-pagers are sales collateral, not reference documentation, and only show low-resolution screenshots of partial tree contents (superseded/cross-checked against the higher-resolution, current-day tree screenshots captured in taxonomy/made-standardized-taxonomy-live-ui-screenshots.md, which should be treated as the more authoritative/current source of the two). The one new fact these one-pagers add beyond what's in the current Siemens KB or the live taxonomy.html page is the existence of a Sensor taxonomy as a fourth/fifth tree alongside Function, Flow, and Failure (Mechanism) — not mentioned anywhere in the existing 36-item Siemens KB extraction.
