Operating manuals are legally required and must meet high standards. DokuTech.app supports you in creating structured, standards-oriented operating manuals – with 92 predefined standard chapters, AI-powered text optimisation and automatic translation into four languages.
Many machine builders still create operating manuals in Word or InDesign – without standards-specific structure, without centralised management and without automated translation. The result: every manual looks different, safety warnings are forgotten, translations are inconsistent, and when standards change, all documents must be manually revised.
The DokuTech.app system template contains 92 standard chapters (16 main and 76 sub-chapters), based on EN ISO 20607 and prepared for the EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Each chapter contains a predefined AI prompt that helps your writers efficiently compose machine-specific content.
Translate your operating manuals with one click into German, French, Italian and English. The source language is freely selectable – you can start in any of the four languages. Verified translations are protected with the Translation Lock.
Export your operating manuals as professional PDF documents with your corporate design. Configure primary and secondary colours, Google Fonts, font sizes, logos and headers/footers.
A machine builder launches a new series. With DokuTech.app, they create the manual based on 92 standard chapters, add machine-specific content using AI prompts and translate the document into four languages.
A company has 50 operating manuals in Word. Via drag & drop, they import the documents into DokuTech.app, assign them to standard chapters and use AI translation to create missing language versions.
A manufacturer produces a machine in three variants. Common chapters are created as text modules (transclusion) and reused across all three documentations. Changes automatically update all variants.
