Schneider Electric Digitizes Work Instructions with SoftDesigners
Schneider Electric transformed shop-floor operations with digital work instructions that help operators access the right information at the right step, improving consistency, visibility and production efficiency.
Turning shop-floor complexity into a more consistent way of working
Schneider Electric needed a better way to deliver critical production information to operators. Manual processes and disconnected information made it harder to maintain consistency, keep instructions current and support efficient shop-floor operations.
Scattered Information
Work instructions, product information, training material and safety guidance were spread across different sources, making critical information harder to access at the workstation.
Manual Processes
Paper-based documentation and manual updates added administrative effort and made it more difficult to maintain standardized processes across operations.
Operator Consistency
Differences in experience and access to information could create variations in how tasks were performed, impacting quality, consistency and production efficiency.
One connected workspace for every step on the shop floor
SoftDesigners brought critical production information into a single digital experience, helping operators access clear instructions, supporting content and safety information directly where work happens.
Digital Work Instructions at the Point of Work
Operators can follow standardized instructions step by step, with the information they need available directly at their workstation.
Visual Guidance
Images, videos and supporting content make complex tasks easier to understand and follow.
Real-Time Information
Operators get access to current product, process and safety information when it is needed.
Standardized Workflows
Consistent digital workflows help reduce variation and support repeatable execution across operations.
Connected Training
Training content and process knowledge can be made available alongside the work instructions.
From instruction to execution, every step stays connected
The digital workflow brings information and guidance closer to the operator, creating a clearer path from accessing an instruction to completing the task.
Access
Operators access the required work instruction directly at the workstation.
Understand
Clear instructions, images and supporting content guide the operator through the task.
Execute
Standardized steps help operators perform the process consistently and correctly.
Improve
Digital information supports better visibility and continuous improvement across operations.
Turning digital guidance into measurable manufacturing results
By bringing work instructions and supporting production information into a connected digital experience, Schneider Electric improved how operators accessed and followed critical information across the shop floor.
From disconnected information to a more connected shop floor.
Work instructions, product information, training content, videos, images and safety alerts were brought together digitally. This gave operators access to the right information at the workstation instead of relying on disconnected or manual sources.
Bring greater clarity and consistency to your shop floor.
