- Workers follow it step by step in the bot.
Value for manufacturing
Turn written standards into concrete actions.
Book a demoA situation on the shop floor
Verbal cleaning instructions leave different shifts with different expectations. The checklist builder helps record required items and evidence. Workers receive the assigned checklist within their workflow, while the supervisor reviews the submitted result in the panel.
People and responsibilities
The responsible person configures requirements for the work. Workers complete the items and submit evidence; the supervisor reviews the result and remarks.
Before a pilot, walk through the checklist with a worker: each item should describe an observable outcome, not a vague “everything is fine”.
What to evaluate in a pilot
Start with a short checklist for one area. Check whether people interpret each item consistently, whether photos support a decision and which remarks recur. The purpose is a ready workplace and a clear handover, not the highest number of checked boxes.
Scope and preparation
These are your operational requirements, not a safety or quality certification. The process owner should review the rules. Exclude documents and personal information from photos unless needed to assess the area.
Practical resources for manufacturing
Choose one process, agree who is responsible and evaluate changes using recorded facts.
