With the Nautos Editor, you can create, edit, and export your company’s work standards, specifications, and technical guidelines in a structured way using a browser-based XML editor – as intuitive as Word, with no XML expertise required.

Your documents are built in a rule-based way according to DIN 820-2 and output in standardized XML. This gives you consistent, comparable content that can be directly integrated into and further processed by existing systems such as RMS or other applications. All content is automatically validated against the NISO STS schema – ensuring fully standards-compliant documents right from the start.

Standard owners from Quality Management, Engineering, and Technical Documentation collaboratively work on content via a shared company access – secured by a comprehensive roles and permissions concept with role-based access control at document and section level, individually assignable rights per document, comments, and ticketing functions. Cross-references, links, and jumps between content or into other systems can be created with ease. Teams work in parallel at section level – without conflicts or overwriting.

From document sprawl to standards-based work-standard structures

What does day-to-day work look like when work standards and specifications have grown over years in Word files and PDFs?

Companies such as automotive suppliers often manage hundreds of work standards and specifications in Word and as PDFs: inconsistent templates, high maintenance effort, and content that is hard to analyze, especially in the context of QM audits.

With the Nautos Editor, those responsible for work standards create all internal standards in a structured, standards-based way according to DIN 820-2 in a browser-based XML editor. Teams from Quality Assurance, Engineering, and Technical Documentation collaborate at section level with comments, ticketing, and role-based permissions. With just one click, the standardized XML export is triggered directly from the editor and enables further processing in RMS and other systems. Through structured content, automatic validation, and targeted referencing, future-proof, semantically analyzable work standards for industrial processes are created.
