Intuitive like powerpoint, but even faster to create and implement.
PICO: Digital work instructions for frontline operators
How do digital work instructions reduce errors and improve productivity?
10X faster than powerpoint
Training & onboarding
Clear operator guidance will expedite the learning process and allow new hires to become productive, quickly.
Mistake-proof
Improve first-time yield and reduce the likelihood of rework and scrap.
Quick deployment
Deploy digital work instructions in the cloud or on-premise. No IT support required.
Features of PICO's digital work instructions
- Displays colorful images, videos, and PDFs directly in the software
- Version control and approval process
- Templates and mass updates
- Move backward to perform rework
- Can receive signals to advance instructions
- Ask operator questions under specified conditions
- Automatic prompts if task completion is greater than average
Can digital work instructions handle high-mix, low-volume production?
Easily create digital work instructions for variations of the same process. Examples from customers:Â
- Products that require different power supply components based on destination
- Configurations that require a different number of bolts or torquing actions
- Creating different variants based on language translations
Do I need an MES to use digital work instructions?
No. You don’t need a full MES to get started. A modular MES like PICO lets you deploy digital work instructions as a standalone module, so you can ditch paper and start error-proofing without overhauling your entire system. And if you need more features later, like traceability or smart IOT integrations, you can add them as you scale.
Can I still use PDFs or 2D diagrams as work instructions?Â
Yes, but we don’t recommend relying on them alone. While you can upload PDFs or diagrams into PICO, digital work instructions go far beyond static visuals. With interactive guidance, embedded media, and step validation, you reduce interpretation errors and make it easier for operators to get the job done right the first time.
How long does it take to implement digital work instruction software?
You can be up and running in hours with PICO. PICO was built for fast deployment in factories with manual processes. Most teams start with one station or work center, then scale to the rest of the floor based on what works.
What equipment do I need to implement digital work instruction software?
You don’t need anything fancy. Most manufacturers use off-the-shelf tablets, monitors, or touchscreens—whatever fits their budget and environment. PICO also connects to torque tools, barcode scanners, and other shop floor devices for manufacturers who are ready to error-proof and implement digital traceability.Â
