  • Write a commentary on the documentation
Update documentation
Correct or validate documentation
  • Thanks to an integrated validation loop




Provide and execute new documentation
  • Run the latest validated version from the field



Benefits
  • Maximize information sharing between BUs or organizations
  • Enable creators to create a base of media-type content (video, audio, photos)

Use case : Development

How can you streamline and capitalize on the development phases of a complex system?
Identify customer requirements that call for the development of a new system
  • List requirements and validate them with the customer through content sharing









Meet requirements with a detailed description of the system and its documentation

New creation

  • Create the system architecture
  • Create system documentation
  • Link system architecture elements with documentation

Creation from an existing system

  • Duplicate system architecture and documentation
  • Modify elements requiring adaptation to new requirements, while maintaining links to unchanged elements


Develop and validate the first series


  • Follow the theoretical stages of system construction 
  • Validate theoretical stages, integration stages, and the system as a whole, against requirements
  • Qualifying the first of the series







Validate development phase and switch to industrialization phase












Benefits
  • Accelerate the sharing and validation of requirements with customers 
  • Capitalize on previous development projects
  • Easily monitor the entire development process on a single platform
  • Reduce the time needed to create documentation and transfer it to the industrialization phase

Use case : Industrialization

How can we enrich and accelerate the industrialization of a complex system?
Preparing for the industrialization phase
  • Create the manufacturing routing: the sequence of unit steps to produce a system
  • Create data sheets describing unit steps
  • Capture content from the field to enrich data sheets



Launch industrialization phase
  • Execute routing steps with automatic reporting


Finalizing production
  • Quality control and acceptance review before archiving
  • Close the production order and generate the delivery note





Benefits
  • Facilitate the creation of documents enriched with visual or audio operational content
  • Automate industrialization monitoring loops with automatic reporting
  • Reduce the time it takes to update documentation, make new documentation available and access information in the field. 
  • Monitor the entire industrialization phase, from range creation to delivery order on a single platform

Use cases : IVVQ

How can you streamline and capitalize on a system's validation and verification cycles?
Create system validation steps
  • Create the system development tree between the single needs document and the requirements
  • Create validation test sheets in line with the tree structure
  • Validate acceptance test sheets
  • Assign validation test sheets and notify the persons concerned
Perform validation tests
  • Complete test sheets during validation tests
  • Report non-conformities
Analyze evaluation feedback
  • Track non-conformities and analyze occurrences (on Armtek Web)
  • Validate tests in line with requirements
Benefits
  • A structured document and media base to facilitate reuse
  • Provide a database for rapid information retrieval
  • Reduce the number of steps in an assessment program
  • Accelerate system qualification cycles

Use case : Operating a complex system

How can you get to grips with a complex system more quickly?
Commissioning the complex system
  • Follow the updated and validated commissioning steps
  • Manage and monitor commissioning
Operating the complex system
  • Consult the updated and validated user manual via simplified mobile access.
  • Carry out operating operations (functional checks, training, etc.).


Analyze operations
  • Automatic feedback of operating results




Benefits
  • Ensuring proper use of equipment
  • Make all documentation easily accessible on a single tablet or phone
