Technical Documentation

The complexity of today’s professional products combined with a high frequency of engineering changes and product liability requirements have become a true challenge for technical documentation. It’s not a contradiction: user instructions and service manuals have to be up to date and cost effective at the same time. The key word is on-demand, printed documents which are outdated and obsolete become a waste of space and money.

More and more of today’s technical documents will be individualized to reflect the exact product configuration and include specific quality data gathered during the manufacturing process for certification. To attract users to read, listen or view the operating instructions completely, they will include multimedia type content to avoid user handling errors and reduce service cost. Optical discs fulfill these requirement, on-demand publishing systems allow their production effectively and efficiently.
