How to create work instructions?
Digitize your work instructions
Having detailed work instructions is an essential part of any manufacturing process. The manufacturing sector has long identified the potential of digitization, but creating, maintaining, and publishing work instructions represents a high cost in both time and money.
It makes sense for companies to invest in software that can transform outdated paper procedures into more valuable digital versions. All of this will increase productivity and efficiency and accelerate the training of technicians.

Each company can design its work instructions by combining different visual elements, images, videos, pdfs, data entry, media captures, and verification checklists to provide the most information to technicians and enable them to carry out even the most complex procedures.

- Manuals
