<\/figure>\n\n\n\n#2: Connect PLM to leading tech pubs solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Siemens Xcelerator open ecosystem enables a seamless integration between Teamcenter and other systems. The partnership between Siemens and Cortona3D<\/a> delivers an integrated solution that allows technical authors to work in a PLM environment, enabling them to interact directly with engineering design geometry and BOMs, and rapidly create 2D\/3D interactive parts catalogs, maintenance manuals, training materials, and service instructions that reflect accurate product configurations. With direct access to the product source material, authors can create and manage technical publications and streamline changes. The integrated solution makes certain that documentation is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another benefit of the integration is reuse of different types of content objects. For example, you can reference the same graphic or warning message from different XML content modules or reuse a generic content module or chapter in different document structures. This has many advantages, including improved consistency and reduced cost for content creation and translation. Keeping track of where and how this content is reused (via Teamcenter), allows for these benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Authors can see what they change. They can identify really quickly which parts are new and which parts are old. We didn\u2019t have such a tool before.<\/p>\nCRISTOPHER ALCAIDE AMREIN, Team Leader Technical ICT, Pilatus<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Why is technical publishing for service so important? Increasing pressure for manufacturers on after-sales services \u2013 including globalization of service, product complexity, performance based service contracts, and IoT – require intelligent technical information on products and procedures which must be accurate, interconnected, intuitive, and immediately accessible. Enabling easy access to the right engineering and service data will help your technical publishing team address these challenges while working smarter and more efficiently to author content. As a result, they provide accurate and intuitive materials to your service technicians to improve service outcomes. For example, authors using RapidAuthor for Teamcenter, integrated with Service Planner, can automatically generate work instructions from Service Planner. Support equipment data, safety conditions, and other service information can be reused directly in your publication. Any changes to your service data can be applied automatically to work instructions — no need to research and edit manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Service documentation generated using this integrated solution approach helps technical authors work smarter and faster. With explicit and accurate 2D \/ 3D graphics, or animation, this rich visual content is highly effective in communicating the right part and process information to service teams. The content will help service technicians improve service quality, minimizing asset down time, and ultimately – keep your customers happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read<\/a> the case study to learn how Siemens Mobility leverages Teamcenter and RapidAuthor to reduce tech pubs authoring by 50%<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read<\/a> about the latest RapidAuthor for Teamcenter updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
