Transform product data into structured documentation that supports your entire product lifecycle.
Bring order to technical documentation
Creating technical documents is often a disjointed process. Engineering rolls out product updates, authors manually rewrite manuals, and service teams end up working with outdated guides. This disconnect leads to inconsistent content, wasted effort, and documentation that falls out of sync with the actual product.
Arbortext solves this with an end-to-end technical publishing environment. By linking your publications directly to live engineering data, you ensure critical product information stays accurate and reaches the people who need it.
Create once, publish everywhere
Traditional document setups rely on separate files and manual formatting. As your products grow more complex, keeping manuals, training guides, and parts catalogues consistent becomes a major headache.
Arbortext fixes this with structured authoring and component management. Writers create content blocks just once and reuse them across multiple documents. From there, the system automatically pushes the content out to various formats, cutting out duplicate work and speeding up delivery.
Features and functionality
Structured XML authoring
Create compliant content using XML authoring tools built for complex layouts. Writers can easily produce consistent, reusable content that meets strict industry standards like DITA and S1000D.
Component-based management
Manage your information as small, reusable blocks rather than giant, standalone files. This makes updates simple, improves version control, and keeps manuals and training guides completely uniform.
Multi-format publishing
Turn a single content source into multiple outputs like PDFs, web pages, online portals, and mobile views. Automated workflows handle the formatting for you, protecting your branding without manual tweaking.
Engineering data integration
Link your documents directly to CAD models and product structures. When a design changes, your documentation stays aligned automatically, reducing errors and keeping text accurate.
Ready to modernise your technical publications?
Modern manufacturers need more than basic text editors. You need a setup that connects content to engineering data and simplifies teamwork. Arbortext provides the foundation for scalable, efficient technical communication that drives operational success.
Boosting field service performance
Service teams need accurate manuals to diagnose faults and find the right parts fast. By giving technicians up-to-date illustrations and guides linked to real engineering data, Arbortext helps raise first-time fix rates and cut asset downtime.
