Uptime

The information chain that holds when everything else is under pressure.

“Everyone did their job. But the information did not.”

Organisations in defence, industry and critical infrastructure face problems like these every day: 

  • Unclear version control – several manuals in circulation, with no traceability. 
  • Information silos – documentation spread across systems, files and platforms. 
  • Incorrect or outdated data used for service, repairs and faultfinding. 
  • No single source of truth for operators, technicians, procurement and management. 
  • Risk of wrong decisions that affect operations, safety and costs. 
  • Longer downtime because maintenance staff must search for the right information. 

A single wrong decision can lead to high costs, unnecessary risk and reduced availability.

Uptime – the hub for secure, traceable technical information 

Uptime is Combitech’s complete system for creating, managing, storing, reviewing and distributing technical information throughout the entire product life cycle: 

  • Everything in one place: Collect ILS data, manuals, spare parts catalogues, drawings and documentation in a single system. Content can be authored according to S1000D or any other structure that suits your needs. 
  • Always the right version: Uptime ensures that only approved and uptodate information is distributed, based on roles, access rights and configuration. 
  • Full traceability: Information is linked to the correct asset, product variant and operating environment – all the way from development to service and maintenance. 
  • Works everywhere – even offline: Designed for field work, factories and locations with limited or no connectivity. 
  • Supports the full life cycle: From instructions and data collection to publishing and presentation in multiple formats. 
  • Flexible licensing: Increase or reduce the number of licences as needed. Uptime adapts to your organisation, not the other way around.

From complexity to control – the value of the right information at the right time 

  • Higher uptime and faster response: When everyone works from the same traceable source, troubleshooting and repairs take far less time. 
  • Improved safety and fewer mistakes: Correct information leads to correct actions – increasing safety in workshops, factories and in the field. 
  • Lower costs and more efficient work: Uptime reduces duplicated effort, improves reuse of information, and cuts costs for translation and publishing. 
  • Stronger customer relationships and more business: When service teams always have accurate information, service quality improves – building trust and opening the door to additional sales. 
  • Built for defencelevel requirements: Uptime is developed in line with ISO 27001 and designed for environments where traceability, robustness and information security are critical.
