Digital Workflows

Streamline workflows and eliminate the use of printed materials

For digital workflows in industry, various mobile devices such as computers, phones, tablets, and smart glasses can be used, each offering its specific advantages. The most effective approach is usually the correct combination of these technologies, depending on the situation and use. Smart glasses provide a key advantage – they display precise information right before the eyes and guide the worker step by step through complex processes or checks. This ensures that all tasks are carried out in the correct order and with the required quality. Additionally, the use of augmented and mixed reality speeds up the training of new workers and increases work efficiency.

Speed up training and standardize procedures

Digital workflows on smart glasses, tablets, phones, or computers make training easier and accelerate the integration of new employees. Digital instructions allow them to learn independently and work more efficiently.
At the same time, they help standardize processes and eliminate errors during maintenance or servicing. Instructions may require confirmation, photo documentation, or automatic AI verification. Mobile devices can be connected to measuring instruments or thermal cameras, expanding their use in industry.

Wide possibilities of digital workflows: 2D, 3D, AR, and VR

Digital workflows can be created in 2D or 3D, using CAD models in augmented (AR) or virtual reality (VR). We offer various software options, including versions where the customer can easily create workflows on their own after training. We also enable full integration with CAD/PLM systems, such as for AR instructions in Siemens Teamcenter or other PLM platforms. The key is that the solution must be intuitive for both end users and workflow administrators.

The main advantages

Standardisation of routine or infrequent activities

Increase the quality of the tasks performed – possibility to condition the completion of a given step, e.g. by taking a photo or verbal confirmation

100% paperless execution of workflows

Significantly faster independence of the new employee in the work process

Easy uploading and possible modification of digital workflows to smart glasses

Ability to store all processes digitally, resulting in clarity and easy traceability of required data over time

Quick onboarding and efficient integration of new employees through digital instructions

Flexible solution – 2D, 3D, AR, VR, and full integration with CAD/PLM systems
