The problem
Every new operator learns by shadowing someone who should be running a machine. With high turnover, your best people spend their shifts training instead of producing.
Changeovers, machine setups, and line cleaning get done a little differently on each shift. That variation shows up as scrap, rework, and slow startups after a changeover.
Operators speak several languages, and the paper binder is out of date the moment a process changes. People copy the person next to them instead of a sheet they can't read or trust.
What changes
01
Record an experienced operator on a phone. AI splits the video into steps, each with a clip, a title, and a description. Review the draft and publish, usually in under 10 minutes.
02
AI translates each work instruction into 50+ languages. A side-by-side editor lets a supervisor check every step. Operators scan a QR code at the machine and read it in their own language.
03
Put the work instructions for a line or a role in a set order and assign the path to a person or a team. Trainees sign off each one, and you see progress and due dates per person.
04
Edit only the step that changed. With approvals on, a reviewer signs off before the new version publishes, with an optional four-eyes rule. You can require retraining when a new version goes live.
Workflow fit
Film once, organize by line and shift, and put work instructions at the workstation where the work happens.
Capture an experienced operator running the procedure with a phone. No special hardware. AI extracts the steps automatically.
Group work instructions into workspaces that match how the floor is structured. Each shift sees only the procedures that apply to them.
Stick a QR code on the machine or workbench. Operators scan it to open the work instruction in their language.
Swap the affected step with new video or images. The rest of the work instruction stays intact and the version log updates automatically.
Compliance and risk
Manufacturing quality systems ask for procedure history, distribution control, and proof that people are trained. SOPX gives you versioning, approvals, training records, and one source of truth across the floor.
Save a new version each time a procedure changes. Restore any previous version on every plan to see what was in effect at a given point. Each work instruction can carry a Document ID for your quality system.
Translate critical safety work instructions into 50+ languages with AI. A side-by-side editor lets a reviewer correct each step against the original before publishing.
Training paths record who signed off each work instruction and when. Download a report when an auditor asks who is trained on a procedure, and require retraining when a new version publishes.
An editor reviews each procedure before it goes live for operators. Turn on approvals to require a reviewer's sign-off before a new version reaches the line, with an optional four-eyes rule and a read-only procedure history of who did what and when.
