DMS - Digital Management Solutions in machine and tool manufacture |

Efficient processes are the nuts and bolts to producing cost-efficient and thus competitive machines and tools. As a general rule, this is achieved by means of automated work procedures with standardised components. Even other departments in your company can work more efficiently following this basic principle – e.g. the documentation department.
Handbooks, operation and assembly instructions are far from useless attachments to be ignored. Legal regulations and also the increasing complexity of machines demand comprehensive, but comprehensible descriptions. Export companies face the additional challenge of translating all documentation into the respective local language.

How you can now compile your documentation simply from text modules |
|
Standardised text units and graphics can decisively reduce costs for the creation and translation of your technical documents. They are created just once and are then usable for various machines and tools. Similarly to how your design engineer produces a new machine out of standardised components, your technical editor compiles the appropriate documentation from consistent text modules and graphics in compliance with the parts list principle.
This method of procedure considerably accelerates the production process – and the documentation can be shipped just in time with your machine or tool. Should changes to a component occur, the adjustments carried out in the documentation are automatically adopted by all associated descriptions. Troublesome repeated entries are hence superfluous, and the occurrence of errors is minimised. The cost of translation is also considerably reduced: Should a mere text module of a version change, only its description must be translated – and not the entire document.
Intelligent editing and content management systems support you with the management of information units and the creation of technical documentation. You are always kept up to date as to which texts have already been translated. In addition, such systems act as a central information pool, making information available interdepartmentally and between different software programs. Your internal processes are considerably optimised. You should then ideally save the created documentation in an electronic document management and archiving system. They can thus remain available for years to come.
Your advantages when using innovative document and information management solutions at a glance:
- Quick creation and translation of technical
documents
- Consistent, standardised texts
- Central storage and rapid retrieval of all product-
relevant data
- Simple adherence to legal regulations
(e.g. product liability)
- Secure electronic archiving of
documentation and significant amount of saved
space
