Digital Work Instructions

What are digital work instructions?

Digital Work Instructions for Connected Workers are revolutionizing industrial operations by transforming traditional paper-based manuals, standards, regulations, and more into dynamic, interactive digital formats. These instructions are crucial for connected workers who need accurate, up-to-date information to perform their tasks safely and efficiently.

What do digital work instructions provide?

Step-by-Step Guidance

Digital devices like tablets and smart glasses deliver clear, multimedia-rich instructions, including videos, images, and diagrams, ensuring even the most complex procedures are easily understood and correctly executed.

Real-Time Updates

Managers can instantly update instructions to reflect the latest safety protocols, production standards, or regulatory changes, ensuring compliance and enhancing safety.

Workflow Controls & Templates

Digital Work Instructions offer customizable templates that enable managers to create or modify instructions quickly. These templates allow for the incorporation of conditional logic, adapting workflows to various outcomes and making it easier to scale operations as needed.

An essential feature of any Digital Work Instructions solution is strong Integration with options for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) connections. These integrations allow for automatic updates of digital instructions based on real-time data, delivering context-specific guidance to workers and improving overall data accuracy.

“Digital Work Instructions empower workers with the tools they need to perform their tasks accurately, safely, and efficiently, setting new standards for operational excellence.”

In summary, Digital Work Instructions are vital to modern industrial environments. They offer connected workers the resources to enhance productivity through up-to-date information and resources, intelligent guided workflows, and a higher standard for safety and regulation compliance.
