Why process manuals in manufacturing need an upgrade
Traditional instruction manuals in manufacturing are long, hard to understand, and rarely used in practice. They lead to:
- Misunderstood procedures
- Repeated questions on the shop floor
- High training and onboarding effort
- Costly errors in production
With video-based manuals, workers access the exact process information they need in seconds – visually, clearly, and directly in context.
Benefits of knowledge management in production:
- Reduce time spent on documentation
- Lower onboarding and training costs
- Avoid production errors and waste
- Ensure consistent quality standards
- Improve employee confidence and independence
What is a video-based instruction manual?
It’s the modern alternative to text-based PDFs: step-by-step guides in video form, easy to update, and even easier to understand.
Clypp turns text-based manuals into:
- Clear step-by-step video instructions for machines and tools
- Demonstrations of assembly, safety, and maintenance procedures
- Multilingual process guides with automatic translation
