Digital Work instructions

Digital work instructions (DWIs) are becoming increasingly popular in manufacturing and other industries. They are replacing traditional paper-based instructions and providing numerous benefits to companies that adopt them.

First and foremost, Picomto DWIs are much more efficient than paper-based instructions. They can be easily updated and distributed, and they can be accessed by workers on mobile devices, which eliminates the need for workers to return to a central location to retrieve instructions or consult with a supervisor. This reduces downtime and increases productivity.

Picomto DWIs also provide a higher level of accuracy than paper-based instructions. They can include detailed images, videos, and 3D animations to help workers understand complex processes, and they can be customized to meet the needs of individual workers. This reduces the likelihood of errors and increases the quality of the finished product.

In addition, Picomto DWIs can help companies reduce costs by eliminating the need for paper-based instructions and reducing the amount of time workers spend on training. They can also help companies comply with regulatory requirements by providing a complete and auditable record of work instructions.

At the core of the user experience in following Picomto Digital Work Instructions is Step-by-Step guidance. Why is this important?

Step-by-step instructions work better because they provide clear and concise guidance on how to complete a task or achieve a goal. When we have a set of well-defined steps to follow, we can break down a complex task into smaller, more manageable parts, which helps reduce confusion and prevents errors.

Additionally, step-by-step instructions allow us to focus on one task at a time, which can help us be more efficient and productive. Instead of trying to do everything at once, we can focus our attention on each individual step, complete it, and then move on to the next one.

Clear and detailed instructions also make it easier to learn new tasks or skills, as they provide a structured and systematic approach to acquiring knowledge. This is especially important for tasks that require precision or have potentially serious consequences if not done correctly, such as assembling machinery or performing medical procedures.

Overall, step-by-step instructions work better because they provide structure, clarity, and focus, which help us be more efficient, productive, and accurate in completing tasks and achieving goals.

Picomto Digital Work Instructions are fully GMP-compliant, featuring secure audit-trail, 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Signature compliance, full revision control and approval workflow.

Picomto's intuitive and straightforward DWI creation interface supports the use of rich media to convey effective guidance. Images are a key element of this.

Images are an essential component of instructional design. They not only add visual appeal but also help to convey complex ideas and concepts in a clear and concise manner. Incorporating images into instructional guidance can enhance the instructional experience for the end user and make the information more engaging and memorable.

Another advantage of using images in instructional documents is that they can help to illustrate key concepts or processes. For example, if a DWI is explaining how to assemble a piece of equipment, including images can help the end user to better understand the steps involved.

Similarly, if a document is explaining a complex setup procedure, images can help to make the process more accessible and less intimidating.

Visuals: Videos can provide end users with visual information that can be difficult to convey through text alone. Videos can show end user how to do something, demonstrate a process, or illustrate a concept.

Videos can be very effective guidance tools.  Videos can provide end users with visual information that can be difficult to convey through text alone. Videos can show end users how to do something, demonstrate a process, or illustrate a concept.

Picomto can embed videos in any step of a DWI and the contents of the video are inextricably linked with the DWI approval workflow and audit trail.
