Digital work instructions: visual, current, filmed by your team
Replace paper SOPs on the assembly line: film a job once and CAPTiX Studio turns it into a step-by-step video instruction and a standard A4 PDF sheet, followed on a phone at the station.
Work instructions are the backbone of repeatable assembly, and usually its weakest link. Writing and updating documents takes weeks, and the finished files still don't show what matters most: gestures, sequence and workstation context.
The problem: documents can't keep up with production
Paper and PDF SOPs age faster than anyone updates them. A new variant, a changed torque value or a rerouted wiring loom, and the binder is out of date. The result: every shift works its own way, new hires learn by trial and error, and audits uncover gaps between the procedure and the practice.
What visual work instructions look like in CAPTiX
- A colleague films the job during normal work: no writing, no coding.
- Within minutes, CAPTiX Studio turns the video into a step-by-step instruction, with a title, key points and safety notes per step, and text and subtitles in each operator's language.
- Studio scores the instruction against standard-work rules, proposes improvements and exports a standard A4 instruction sheet as a PDF.
- The operator follows the video and its text on a phone right at the station, offline too, or hands-free in a headset with CAPTiX XR.
- Updating a procedure means a new video, not a documentation project, and the whole team sees the current version immediately.
One current instruction for every shift and site, made by the people who actually do the job.
What the plant gains
- Lower cost of creating and maintaining workstation documentation.
- Consistent execution across shifts, lines and plants.
- Faster onboarding: new hires work to the standard from day one.
- Know-how stays in the company, even as the team changes.
How is this different from document systems and HR apps?
HR apps handle paperwork, translation tools translate documents; CAPTiX works where those stop: it trains hands at the station. It is not a file repository but a way of working: film it once, and the whole line performs it the same way.
