DTB specializes in transforming legacy data into modern formats, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. Our experts handle unstructured, semi-structured, and fully structured data, providing a precise, fully audited conversion process tailored to industry requirements.
We specialize in developing customized databases for product applications, leveraging Digital Asset Management (DAM) techniques to identify and eliminate redundancies across platforms. This approach not only reduces costs in data development and maintenance but also ensures efficient configuration management.
Our ISO-certified process guarantees reliable results across all data and image formats, maintaining integrity and optimizing content for efficient configuration management.
Dayton T. Brown, Inc. (DTB) employs a proven, highly efficient, and scalable conversion methodology designed specifically for large-scale technical data modernization initiatives and S1000D transformation programs. At the core of DTB’s approach is its proprietary Fully Reconfigurable Element/Attribute Database (FRED), a sophisticated conversion engine that automates the transformation of complex legacy technical data into fully compliant S1000D Data Modules while preserving technical accuracy, data integrity, and configuration control.
Designed with a modular architecture, FRED supports customizable plug-ins and application-specific add-ons that enable DTB to rapidly address unique customer requirements without redevelopment of the core conversion engine.
Among its capabilities is DTB’s Fault Tree Conversion Plug-in. This powerful solution automates the conversion of legacy troubleshooting fault trees (CGM/SVG) into compliant S1000D XML Fault Schemas. By combining automated transformation, validation, and quality assurance within a single workflow, this capability enables DTB to efficiently execute large-scale conversion efforts while delivering consistent, standards-compliant output and significantly reducing schedule and technical risk, ensuring clients achieve their program goals with confidence.
Our analysts conduct a thorough evaluation of your source data, identifying repeated elements, hidden text, graphics, and formatting nuances. We create a conversion strategy that optimizes data reuse and maps content to the new specification or format.
Using an advanced conversion engine, we disassemble the source file, extract metadata, and reconstruct the data in the required structure or format. This process includes generated reports that track conversion success rates, element transformations, and quality metrics for auditability.
Our quality specialists conduct a detailed review of each converted document to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance. This includes validation against source content, confirmation of formatting standards, and verification of conditional text and repeated elements. All discrepancies are flagged and documented for traceability.
We apply all necessary corrections and validate changes through version-controlled processes. In-process reviews are conducted with clients to ensure alignment with requirements and expectations. This step ensures conversion accuracy, audit readiness, and client confidence in the final output.
With decades of experience in critical content transformation, DTB supports organizations in aerospace, defense, and beyond, ensuring smooth migration to modern, structured formats.
