Key Features
Research Assistant
Filter through millions of standards, codes, and technical documents in seconds with Accuris’ virtual subject matter expert: Research Assistant. This AI feature connects engineers to information quickly: simply type your query into the search box and find the answer you need. Research Assistant uses machine learning and natural language processing to understand your question, search Accuris’ curated engineering content library, group search results into logical categories, and present answers to you.
Smart Search
This new feature takes AI-enabled search inside a standard document, far beyond traditional search methods. When asked a question like “How to test for cycle fatigue in COPVs?”, Smart Search uses natural language processing to locate the requirement, constraint, or specification inside the standard – and highlights the sections relevant to your query. Engineers using Smart Search spend 70% less time searching for information within a document than those using traditional search methods.
Micro-Alerts
Micro-Alerts is a new feature that takes the power Smart Compare to the section level. While Smart Compare will show you all changes at the document level, Micro-Alerts will automatically notify you when a passage you’ve highlighted has changed, showing you side-by-side comparisons at the section level. Highlight a section, paragraph, or sentence within a standard and click the bell icon to set up a Micro-Alert for that section. When anything within that highlighted section changes, you will receive an automatic alert, linking you to the section within the standard and showing you what has changed.
Section-Level Get Link
Building on the Get Link feature in Engineering Workbench, EWB Professional offers Get Link at the document level and at the section level. Now you can create links to sections, paragraphs, or sentences within a document, then copy the link and paste into another part of your workflow. Engineers will often paste the Get Links inside audit documents to easily trace requirements back to their sources, or share Get Links with teammates to refer them to relevant sections of a standard. When you use the link in the future, Engineering Workbench always will take you to the exact section in the specific version of the document.
Smart Compare Premium
Publishers update standards frequently, and the revisions and releases of new standards need to be accounted for in engineering workflows, projects, and processes. Smart Compare Premium provides intelligent auto-comparisons between versions of standards. Compare different versions of standards side by side and filter changes for insertions, deletions, and other edits to focus on the most impactful changes to your workflow.
Discover the Perfect Solution for Your Standards Workflow
Simplify your engineering processes with two tailored options: Engineering Workbench and Engineering Workbench Professional. Whether you need essential tools or advanced AI-driven capabilities, we’ll partner with you to find the best fit for your business needs.

A graphical toolset for performing a range of analyses on that same set of 107+ million patents and applications. Extract valuable intelligence from patent bibliographic data and spot influential trends with Patent Intelligence semantic analysis and metadata.
Patent Search, Technology Analysis, Company Analysis, and Patent Reference Analysis tools help you identify trends, companies, and innovators.
The Patent Search Tool
- Search for specific patents based on a variety of criteria (patent number, title, assignee, abstract, etc). This is helpful when you know the document required or would like to identify patents assigned to a given company or a particular inventor.
- View semantically generated summaries of patents in any of the supported languages (English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese), regardless of the language of the original document. Quickly and easily determine whether a given patent is applicable to your research, then view the full-text patent in the original language, either in a text-based HTML document or as a PDF document.
Maps semantically relevant discussions of a technology against one or more patent content sources.
- Analysis results include:
- Patent activity for up to 5 assignees (inventors or organizations employing the inventor) or groups
- Bibliographic data
- Assignee List
- Blended inventor list
- Patent class distribution
- Top 5 assignees, inventors and patent classes
The tool presents you with a view of patent activity related to a particular technology over time, so you can understand, for example, where the technology is in its lifecycle. That information could be useful in evaluating whether a company should make investments in researching a technology, or direct investment elsewhere. Leading inventors can also be identified, helping you find key researchers around a given technology area.
Generates a specific innovation profile for one assignee or a group of assignees to help identify core technologies, key inventors, trends within specific technologies, and citation anomalies.
The analysis includes:
- Patent Activity Chart
- Inventor Lists
- Bibliographic data
- Class distribution
The resulting chart and listing data can help identify:
- Core Technologies
- Key Inventors
- Trends within specific technologies
- Citation anomalies
View a company’s activities related to patents and technologies or compare the activities of multiple companies to understand competitive trends over time. This helps you understand how much companies are investing in research related to technology.
View citations of a patent by other patents (as well as by/from patent applications), in addition to mapping out the assignees/companies attached to forward and backward references.
Backward references provide a map to the “pedigree” of a patent – the history of the technologies or innovations incorporated into the patent.
Forward citations are often very useful in determining potential innovation barriers, competitors, or licensing opportunities. “Young” patent documents with relatively high forward citation counts are particularly useful to discover and investigate technology trends, owners, and valuation.

Add-On Features
Internal Standards Solutions
Without a robust standards management solution, integrating internal and industry standards in complex projects can result in disorganization, missed changes, compliance risks, and quality issues. Our Internal Standards Solutions (ISS) consolidates internal and industry standards into one platform, empowering engineering leaders to mitigate risks related to quality, safety, and compliance. Unlike traditional methods such as mail, email, proprietary portals, or in-person delivery, ISS within EWB enables real-time document sharing with suppliers and monitoring of usage compliance.
