Core capabilities
Digital, version-controlled work instructions
Create and execute standardized digital work instructions with multiple step types, replacing paper and disconnected documents. Built-in versioning and approvals ensure operators always execute the correct instruction.
Guided, in-context operator execution
Ensure consistent, repeatable work using step-by-step guided execution with real-time feedback, timers, validation, and required signoffs. Smart tools, equipment, and data integration provide operators with the exact information they need, when they need it.
Flexible routing across stations and products
Product- and route-based execution supports variations in products, processes, and stations without duplicating instructions. Multi-station and parallel execution enable complex assembly and fabrication workflows at scale.
Work order driven execution and full traceability
Complete digital traceability of who performed each step, when, where, and for how long (and with what results) – ultimately improving quality, compliance, and auditability.
Built-in quality, data capture, and reporting
Integrated data capture and log sheets enable operators to record measurements, results, and checks during execution. Performance reporting compares target versus actual cycle times and provides step-level visibility for continuous improvement.
Enterprise-ready integration and deployment
Scalable, multi-site architecture is designed for rapid deployment and consistent rollout across plants and regions, with native integrations with ERP, PLM, machines, and smart tools available through the ThingWorx platform.
