Instruction types

Whether operating instructions, operating manual or assembly instructions, whether as a printed manual, online help or animation - you will receive the instructions or manual for the information purpose you require.

You need printed instructions to include with your product - we will be happy to supply them. You only want a PDF to save printing costs - of course you will only receive the PDF. You need online help for your program - we can provide that too. You are planning a single-source solution or are producing with an editorial system - we have the right range of services.

Away from paper - towards optimal digital documentation. In the future, it will be increasingly possible to dispense with printed documents. This should be replaced by documents that use all common forms of presentation in their preparation. Images will become animations and videos, and completely new forms of navigation through a document will become possible. We are already supporting you in the use of modern information technologies.

Plant documentation

Complex systems or installations require a comprehensive declaration of operation. Accordingly, high demands are placed on the legally binding system documentation. We support you in creating this documentation. Whether it is the superordinate operating instructions or the all-encompassing system documentation (including the integration of supplier documents) is irrelevant. We are your partner, from setting objectives to conceptual design and implementation.

Thanks to our involvement in standards committees on international standards for plant documentation and machine safety, you can be sure that our results are always state of the art.

Tools

Whether we work with Adobe FrameMaker, Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign to create your documents or use editorial systems (CCMS) - you receive the support you need and which is necessary, sensible and effective for your editorial processes. We offer you the flexibility you want, especially when using editorial systems (CCMS), and we can work with our own systems or those installed in your company.

Project management

The creation of your documents follows our own proven processes, but also takes into account the editorial processes in your company. From research and content creation to correction runs and approval processes, we work in close coordination with you. Of course, we also consider the interfaces to other areas of the company.

You get the team of experts you need and a contact person who will provide you with ongoing support. When working with our customers, we value reliability, transparency and good coordination. As the customer, you decide how the order is structured - tecteam gives you the freedom to choose from all conceivable models. You receive the entire range of technical documentation services from a single source and you can call up the services flexibly.

Competence

Professionally competent, solution-oriented, team-oriented and confident in the use of tools and working techniques, we make your projects our personal concern. We provide you with additional service by thinking outside the box: This often results in completely new approaches for holistic and sustainable solutions.

When they joined our company, our employees had a sound education and most of them already had professional experience: engineers, software developers, scientists, linguists or translators, they all have additional training in technical communication.

On behalf of our educational institute, they also work as lecturers in training and further education, allowing us to optimally combine theory and practice.

Illustration types for technical documentation

In technical documentation, images are an essential means of presenting complex technical issues. No technical information product can do without images, because it is the targeted use of images that makes your documents tangible and helps to save translation costs. The technical illustrators at tecteam are experts in the target group-oriented visual presentation of technical issues:

• Create line conversions.
• Design 2D and 3D drawings of the real object or according to your specifications.
• Convert 3D data and optimize it into user-friendly illustrations.
• Create exploded views for assembly instructions and catalogs.
• Render realistic 3D models for planning manuals and brochures.
• Create standardized and memorable pictograms.
• animations and simulations, of course also interactively.
• Create photos for instructions.

Project management

Technical illustrations are created at the same time as the texts for the information products. Therefore, both team areas, editing and illustration, work closely together.

Of course, you can also commission our illustration services independently of the creation of documentation, whereby the service can also be provided in-house.

Tools for comprehensible images

Whether still images or animations, qualifications and expertise determine the quality of the graphic products when it comes to the comprehensible and attractive presentation of visual facts. The members of the illustration team at tecteam are highly qualified and experienced and can therefore guarantee high quality.

They use industry-standard tools to create technical illustrations. Whether Solid Works or another system - we can process your CAD data. We deal with formats such as STEP, DXF or DWG on a daily basis. We use Adobe Illustrator, Corel Designer or IsoDraw to create illustrations that can be integrated directly into the DTP program you use.

Competence

Our illustrators are specially trained for your tasks. Most of them already had professional experience in graphic design or technical drawing, and all have additional training as technical illustrators. They are therefore well versed in the use of CAD, illustration and image processing programs as well as in the conversion of 3D data into expressive animations.

On behalf of the tecteam Bildungsinstitut, they also teach in training and further education, allowing us to optimally combine theory and practice.
