Designed with engineers, scientists and researchers in mind, Goldfire automates every day innovation tasks—from identifying a new market to developing a new product to improving existing product offerings—and empowering users with a repeatable process.

Fusing proven innovation methods for generating ideas along with advanced technologies for accessing precise concepts from corporate and worldwide knowledge sources, Goldfire stimulates creative thinking and speeds inventive problem solving—helping product development engineers, scientists and researchers to quickly conceive and validate ideas thus fueling product pipelines.

Methods & Tools

The Goldfire Innovation Task workflows call upon embedded tools and proven methods for creative thinking and concept generation.

Goldfire Methods include Value Engineering and TRIZ (The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving).

Goldfire Tools, which serve as the building blocks of Goldfire’s structured Innovation Tasks, include:

  • Innovation Trend Analysis
  • Patent analytics
  • Researcher
  • Semantic navigation and query of patents, Knowledge Bases and other technical libraries and content
  • Device or Process Analyses
  • Root Cause Analysis

Precision Concept Retrieval

Goldfire Innovation Tasks are enriched by just-in-time retrieval of precisely relevant concepts extracted from internal and external knowledge. Goldfire’s semantic processing technology has the unique ability to capture the “meaning fingerprint” of each processed sentence, recognize attributes and relationships of the sentence’s Subject, Object, Action and Effect, and then extracts and organizes concepts. Goldfire’s semantic processing technology can perform across documents in English, French, German and Japanese.

Fusing proven innovation methods for generating ideas along with advanced technologies for accessing precise concepts from corporate and worldwide knowledge sources, Goldfire stimulates creative thinking and speeds inventive problem solving—helping product development engineers, scientists and researchers to quickly conceive and validate ideas thus fueling product pipelines.

Platform Services

Platform services provide administration, reporting and metrics, collaboration and extensive connectivity.
  • Administration, Reporting and Metrics - License controls and security management; Innovation metrics reporting
  • Collaboration - Goldfire Dashboard and Desktop with “passive collaboration”
  • Collaboration repository for shared storage of Goldfire projects and subject matter expertise
  • Connectivity - Connectivity to content from personal, corporate, third-party repositories and worldwide-web sources as well as Invention Machine’s Goldfire Intelligence, proprietary and specialized content optimized for creative problem solving
