Digital Work Instructions
No More Paper. No More PDFs.
Go Cloud.
Why rely on old methods of bringing information to the floor, only to see it go outdated as soon as it is posted? And, as a result, go unused and ignored.
Up-to-date work instructions are key to modern manufacturing and higher quality standards. You can’t afford to gamble your business by using older technologies that can’t keep up with a modern work environment and a dynamic workforce.
Flexwrite, in partnership with VKS Solutions, offers cloud-based, fully digital work instructions. They are intuitive, quick to update and much less expensive than conventional methods
Pictures, videos, CAD Illustrations, feedback annotations and text: All combine to guide operators and maintenance personnel on exactly what to do and when.
And they are always up-to-date. Changes from the central office are automatically updated across your work environment.
Three Levels. You Choose.
