SkelligDocs

Built for Modern System Execution in Validated Environments

At Skellig Automation, our tools are built directly from the realities of active Life Sciences project execution. We continuously gather feedback from engineering teams, analyze challenges encountered in live automation programs, and identify where our software solutions can best be utilized by and for our clients.

Behind SkelligDocs is a simple philosophy: solve real problems, deploy quickly, refine with feedback, and scale what works. It is available for use on our projects and may be independently licensed.

"Overall, I've always had a great experience working with Skellig for work/projects. The SkelligDocs tool gives us a way to standardize all the specification documents we have and this consistency in documentation is important when working with multiple systems. The tool is also user-friendly and automates a lot of work that can be time-consuming."

"Skellig has improved our document building for system code/configuration immensely. Skellig worked with us to create an automated tool to build our documentation specific to our site’s requirements. Prior to using SkelligDocs tool, our site manually managed and updated hundreds of specification documents for code/ configuration which made it extremely time consuming and prone to human error. Implementing the SkelligDocs tool for our site has improved time-saving costs and eliminated human errors during documentation revisions."

"All too often you are deep into a project, have finished your documentation and then for one reason or another a large change to the code is required. The code change may take a few hours, but the impact to documentation can be drastic. With SkelligDocs, you don't have to worry about this - you make your code change, upload the new .fhx files, and your documents are updated without any manual intervention. It's hard to go back to manual documentation once you've seen the power of SkelligDocs!"

"I have been using SkelligDocs for several years now and it has fundamentally changed how I tackle document generation and updates. I used to spend hours just gathering and reformatting data before even touching a document, but now I am able to generate documents without any hassle."

How SkelligDocs Works

SkelligDocs automatically generates Word or Kneat documentation directly from system .fhx files, eliminating manual transcription and formatting. Documentation always matches the live system configuration, dramatically reducing errors and review cycles while maintaining audit readiness. With a simple upload workflow and guided document generation steps, engineers can produce consistent, professional deliverables in a fraction of the traditional time. 

Why Teams Choose SkelligDocs

SkelligDocs is developed from real project experience, refined through beta testing with active engineering teams, and continuously improved based on field feedback. It enables faster delivery without sacrificing quality, strengthens documentation and validation practices, and supports predictable execution models on complex capital programs. Here are our users’ favorite features of SkelligDocs:

Flexibility

Generate documentation in Word, Excel, and Kneat from system data.

Consistency

Keep documentation aligned with the live system configuration, reducing errors and review cycles while supporting audit readiness.

Customizable Outputs

Preserve customer-required styles, structures, and formatting while automating content population behind the scenes. SkelligDocs adapts to existing documentation standards instead of forcing teams into a rigid output model.

User-Friendly Workflows

Use a simple upload workflow and guided document generation steps to produce consistent, professional deliverables in a fraction of the traditional time.

Fast Documentation

Build a complete set of system documentation in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months.

Automate Your Manual Documentation Tasks

One of the biggest time sinks in engineering projects is documentation generation. With SkelligDocs, lengthy documentation times don’t have to be an inevitability, even for validated systems.
