Engineering Workbench is the industry’s leading standards management solution – enabling faster and more efficient engineering workflows with powerful AI technology, combined with a vast library of standards and technical content.

Smart Compare

• Standards are updated throughout the year. It takes engineers days, or sometimes weeks to find all the changes and understand the consequences of the updates. Not only does this take time away from engineers, but it costs companies millions of dollars over time. Smart Compare provides a solution – automatically identifying changes to standards as they get published. This patented technology helps engineers identify, compare, and manage changes to standards in real time. Smart Compare highlights all changes, insertions, deletions, and grammatical and editorial updates to any document from over 400 standards developing organizations.

Dynamic Linking

• Exclusive AI technology that automatically generates over 39 million embedded industry-to-industry reference links that are found in-line across codes and standards documents from 400+ SDOs. Dynamic Linking provides instant summaries and full contents for linked references. This powerful feature reduces time to do research, helping engineers easily understand how codes and standards are interconnected.

Get Link

• Create shareable links to entire standards and codes documents, document pages, and specific passages within that document. Get Link helps teams collaborate more effectively, because a user can easily share links with a teammate for referenced content within any document.

Intelligent Search

• Type your query into a single search field that automatically distinguishes between document numbers and keywords. Whether you know the title of the standard you are looking for, or are using keywords to find the correct document, Intelligent Search understands the query and provides relevant answers, along with type-ahead and popular document suggestions.

Research Assistant

• When you don’t know which documents are applicable to a particular challenge, Research Assistant can quickly navigate to the standards you need, using powerful AI technologies. This tool enables textual and graphical exploration, leveraging AI-powered cognitive search, machine learning and natural language processing. Research Assistant acts as your virtual subject matter expert - connecting knowledge across topics, disciplines, and industries to surface relevant information related to your search query.

Advanced Search Tools

• Use the query builder to refine your searches using up to a dozen different search fields. For example, if you’re looking for an ISO standard on quality management, type “ISO” into the publishing organization field, and “quality management requirements” into the title field. This tool uses Boolean operators, grouping of terms, order operations logic, and the ability to include or exclude criteria to build complex queries.

Faster Document Viewing and Navigation

• The Document Viewer reduces your wait time when opening and loading a document. Instead of waiting for an entire thousand-page document to load, the Document Viewer “streams” documents page by page, so you can view document contents almost instantly – a noticeable improvement when viewing lengthy documents. Browse through documents with the Table of Contents feature, which allows you to jump directly to a specific section of the document. Engineering Workbench also adds dynamically generated document summaries to describe the standards contents (which can be translated into several major languages), giving users the ability to understand the purpose of a document without having to read through the text.

Personalization

• Create annotations on or within Standards and Codes documents. Customize your homepage and pin important documents there. Bookmark documents, pages, and passages for quick access. If you’re working on a project and need to keep all related documents in one location, create folders in the Projects panel to organize documents making collaboration easy and efficient.

Watch Lists & Automatic Monitoring

• Create shared watch lists to track documents, adding items with a single click. Users will get notifications when documents change and new versions are released.
