Experienced colleagues film a task once, and this becomes illustrated step-by-step instructions for onboarding and shift handovers. Knowledge stays in the company, even when someone retires.

Is this for you?

  • There are tasks such as machine setup, filter changes or cleaning that only a few people can do and that are not described anywhere.
  • You are allowed to film at the workstations, and the employees are on board.
  • Someone in the company can check safety information professionally, e.g. the occupational safety specialist.
First step today

Film a short task without faces, describe what you are doing as you go, and write down what you said with timestamps or have it transcribed. Give the transcript to an AI assistant with the template below and see which points end up in the list for the safety review.

How to go about it

  1. Define the task, target group and format of the instructions
  2. Film the work process and narrate it
  3. Have steps and images generated
  4. Check content and safety
  5. Approve and make available at the workstation
  6. Maintain names and image rules
