Use cases
Keep the handoffs around engineering work from losing context.
Custom automation projects move between customer scope, mechanical design, controls, purchasing, assembly, and validation. Lanta keeps the requirements, discussions, decisions, changes, and evidence around those handoffs connected.

Lanta keeps the reason, revision, owner, and outcome connected.
Use case 01
Customer scope and requirements
Keep the original request connected to what engineering is expected to deliver.
Product direction
Preserve source, obligation, assumptions, ownership, and verification intent. The relationship view demonstrates the product direction for traceability across systems and tests.
RELATIONSHIP MAPSelected · REQ-021
Use case 02
Collaborative design reviews
Keep feedback grounded in the exact file, component, region, and revision.
Working prototype
The current product uses APS-based 3D viewing. The 2D and external-feedback views demonstrate how the same finding workflow can extend across engineering artifacts.

Validation and readiness
See what a changed input means for evidence, models, and the next milestone.
Product direction
This illustrative workflow connects readiness to a model library. It does not imply that simulations execute inside today’s prototype or that applicability is determined automatically.
