In short
Digital work instructions are step-by-step procedures shown on a screen or headset instead of paper. They combine text, photos, video and 3D/AR overlays, record each completed step and are updated centrally, which reduces errors, shortens training and gives an audit trail.
What are digital work instructions?
A digital work instruction is a procedure broken down into small, visual steps that an operator follows on a tablet, phone or smart glasses. Each step shows exactly what to do, with the right tool, part and quality check.
Because instructions are managed centrally, a change is published once and every station uses the new version immediately.
- Scope
- 1–2 lines, 1 process
- Duration
- 6–8 weeks
- KPIs
