1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to import a technology transfer document containing information about a product to be manufactured and describing a manufacturing process for manufacturing the product;
a conversion component configured to:
translate the technology transfer document to a raw object model comprising objects representing content sections of the technology transfer document, wherein at least one of the content sections comprises control parameter values for a step of the manufacturing process,
organize the objects of the raw object model into a hierarchical organization of objects based on discovered relationships between the content sections to yield a structured object model, and
translate the structured object model to a package model that organizes the objects according to an industrial standard for modeling industrial processes;
wherein
the objects of the package model represent the content sections of the technology transfer document, and
the user interface component is configured to render a browsable visualization of the package model as a navigation tree comprising nodes corresponding to the objects, wherein the nodes comprise at least a process node representing the manufacturing process, a step node that is a child node of the process node and that represents the step of the manufacturing process, and one or more control parameter nodes that are child nodes of the step node and that represent the control parameter values for the step.
