PROSE Documentation services – Technical documentation

Project tasks

  • Technical writing
  • Information analysis
  • Document management
  • Review process work
  • Coordination of projects
  • Administration and management
  • Translation: Terminology management (English, German, Swedish)
  • Document management system PRO(doc)

Our Approach

PROSE assists in the creation and translation of new technical documentation, as well as revising and updating existing documents. Our technical writers help you create technical documents such as technical descriptions, maintenance manuals and spare parts lists. We review, both on the supplier and customer side, the language, structure, and contents of the technical documents, and perform quality control in line with established documentation requirements.

The technical writers produce technical documentation, working both in office and together with technicians and system engineers on site, to understand complex functioning of products and systems, thus creating clear documentation. The quality is assured through detailed checklists, verification on site and validation with the customer.

PROSE’s technical translators work with the support of professional translation software. The creation of custom dictionaries allows us to help you manage your company-specific terminology. At PROSE, we offer translation to, and from, Swedish, English and German.

We also offer our own document management system, PRO(doc). PRO(doc) is a customised online documentation management system. Developed by PROSE, it enables you to easily manage your documentation, such as technical drawings, maintenance instructions, trouble-shooting remedial actions, spare parts information and so on.

Customer benefit

PROSE has contributed to many projects by creating new technical documents, as well as by translation, review and coordination. The documents are written for train drivers, maintenance staff and training instructors, are verified on site and validated with the customer.

PROSE works both on the supplier side and on the customer side, contributing to a large amount of important documentation. Work in the depot environment ensures that complex functions are understood, to create clear documentation. This helps operators to understand the updated products and systems, ensures correct use of the products and enables and guarantees safety in maintenance work.

Knowledge Meets Opportunity in Multibody System Simulation

At PROSE, we value knowledge and we love to share our expertise with young talents.

Every year, our Berlin office hosts student visits from the Technical University of Berlin. Yesterday, our PROSE-employee Johannes Keudel presented the different applications of multibody system simulation (MBS) of rail vehicles. Thank you for visiting us!

We are always looking for brilliant people to join us. Keep an eye on our openings: Join us

Don’t let vehicle authorisation hurdles derail your success

Do you want to improve your rolling stock by implementing modifications or deploying it in new territories? Take advantage of our knowledge and get approval with PROSE as your vehicle authorisation partner in the railway industry!

Modernisations and retrofits guarantee enhanced reliability, superior passenger comfort and open up new applications by integrating new systems. The sophisticated approval process under the 4th Railway Package ensures safe rail transport and the best possible interoperability throughout the EU. However, this represents a significant challenge for operators, keepers and owners when implementing changes to rolling stock.

At PROSE, we recognise that each railway vehicle is unique. Our team develops vehicle authorisation strategies that address the specific challenges of your products and needs. Whether it is about electrical or mechanical changes, our experts have the knowledge to successfully guide you through the process and elevate your market situation. We ensure your railway vehicles comply with the latest standards and regulations. From documentation preparation to submission, we get you covered.

Don’t let vehicle authorisation hurdles derail your success, contact us today to discuss how we can support you!

We support with ECM!

Are you struggling with the ECM regulation (EU) 2019/779 certification or its day-to-day application? We are here to help you navigate!

Our latest achievement speaks for our solid ECM know-how and supportive consultancy.

Over the last few months, we have teamed up with Train-Ing, doing useful workshops, customised training sessions, and process document reviews. All our teamwork led to an anticipated stage 1 test audit, putting Train-Ing on track to successfully pass the required audit with the certification body before end of the year. And we can proudly say: Congratulations Train-Ingg for a successful certification!

Contact us today to explore how we can assist you in achieving your certification goals or in supporting you in your daily ECM challenges! Contact

Engineering makes a direct impact on the traveling experience for passengers

Follow us into the fascinating world of electrical systems and let us show you how electrical engineering makes a direct impact on the traveling experience for passengers.

Train modernisation activities enlarge the useful life of rollingstock. They are also an opportunity for railway operators to improve the travel experience for passengers and make transportation more attractive.

The installation of access points providing Wi-Fi in the passenger compartment together with proper distribution of power sockets allows the commuters to be connected for work or enjoyment reasons.

PROSE supports our customers in the integration of the on-board electrical sub-systems throughout the entire project. The process begins with the initial phases of concept definition. It then progresses through electrical and mechanical design, ensuring that on-board integration aligns with railway regulations. Finally, it concludes with the release of the as-built electrical diagrams, wiring tables, and components list. PROSE also drafts the purchase technical specifications for suppliers according to the customer’s needs.
