Rik Page will be presenting: Innovative Documentation.

As the world embraces Industry 4.0, ‘smart’ factories, and ‘smart’ manufacturing, we need to also move to more innovative documentation. This evolution is Documentation 4.0, and just like Industry 4.0, it has design principles to help the content support the demands of advanced system integration, multi-channel publishing, and the IoT.

Nenad Furtula will be presenting alongside Clara Allan of Dematic: Auto-generating complex, customer-specific publications.

Dematic is a leading supplier of integrated automated technology, software, and services to optimize the supply chain. Every installation is unique and Dematic needs to provide site-specific documentation to support the ongoing use and maintenance of the equipment. Creating site-specific documentation was time-consuming and risked delays in installation. This presentation will take attendees on Dematic’s journey to a solution.
