New service offerings
Support new, service-oriented business models by means of faster spare parts provisioning
End-to-end information flows from Development to Production to Service are the prerequisite for the development of new, service-oriented business models. Our service content publishing solutions automate the preparation and provision of digital information for spare parts catalogs, maintenance manuals, assembly instructions, etc. and ensure that your or your customer's engineers can access the information anywhere, from any end device. This not only saves you time and money when it comes to technical documentation, but also enables you to offer your customers faster and better service.
Our service content publishing solutions are not just used by engineers and technicians in after-sales service, customer service and technical service. They are used in different areas of application ranging from technical documentation to production planning, production management and assembly planning through to spare parts management. Thanks to their flexibility, they can be adapted to meet customer-specific requirements quickly and easily and thus support a large number of application scenarios.
Many machine and plant engineers still plan and document the assembly of their systems using the object in question – a time-consuming process. If they started assembly planning during the digital stage, they would be able to deliver their systems faster.
Our service content publishing solution allows you to plan the assembly steps at an earlier stage, based on the CAD models and using a large library of typical assembly operations, and to calculate assembly costs reliably. You can also animate embedded 3D models to illustrate specific assembly steps.
In many companies, the creation of spare parts catalogs is a manual process, during which a great deal of time is spent searching for and preparing the required information. Automating the creation of catalogs not only saves time but also makes it possible to update the spare parts catalogs more quickly if changes are made.
Our service content publishing solution allows electronic spare parts catalogs to be created automatically as HTML5 web pages or 3D PDF containers, which contain all the service documents required to replace spare or wear parts and support automated ordering processes.
One of our reference customers is Atotech Deutschland, a manufacturer of electroplating systems. It uses the solution to prepare all service documentation and create electronic spare parts catalogs.
The creation of operating and maintenance manuals and other documents is extremely time-consuming as it involves collecting and processing information from different source systems. At the same time, customers today expect service documentation that reflects their product configuration.
Our service content publishing solution speeds up the document creation process and can be integrated in enterprise applications, thus allowing you to compile service documentation automatically based on a delivered product.
The as-built or as-maintained state of capital goods changes over the course of their lifecycle due to the fact that on-site field service staff are constantly makes changes. There is often a long time lag between the changes being made and these changes being incorporated in the service documentation.
Our service content publishing solution allows service engineers to gather information from the field, e.g. changes made to the product configuration in the event of a problem, and automatically enter it in the management systems.
