Documentation, user manuals and translations

Stäubli Sargans AG

The project entailed developing a flexible concept for modular system documentation which significantly simplifies the creation, maintenance and supplementation of technical documentation. On this basis we provided comprehensive operating manuals for several machine types. These are designed to meet standards, safety requirements and the practical needs of service teams and end users. 

In addition we provided professional and consistent translations into the required target languages, ensuring that the documentation can be used internationally and that is provides optimum support for global sales.

As a result of this collaboration we were able to achieve a result that is not only technically impressive but also offers genuine long-term value.
