Worker guidance is the basis for efficient and safe production. If these two aspects, process reliability and efficiency, are to be increased, then this can often be achieved with an improved worker guidance system.
In the overall package of quality management, optimized worker management is initially just a detail - but one of great importance. In a somewhat broader sense, in relation to the entire company, we also speak in this context of the employee information system. This ensures that existing knowledge is always immediately available when it is needed. It is part of the distribution of knowledge and the conversion of implicit into explicit knowledge. (internal LINK to the text Knowledge assurance)
Today, we are used to information being available at all times and in great abundance. In everyday working life and in production, however, it is necessary to process this wealth of data.
The aim is to ensure that every employee always receives the information they need when they need it.
Suitably prepared, without superfluous additional information, available quickly and self-explanatory.
Processes in industrial production are becoming increasingly complex, with man and machine often already working hand in hand. If there is a lack of detailed knowledge here, time is lost unnecessarily.
A well-designed digital worker guidance system prevents this.
The more complex a workflow is, the more important it is to have concrete specifications for each individual step. There is not always an experienced team member at every machine, and not everyone has the same knowledge of processes within production. However, for an optimal workflow, there must be no stagnation, which is why you need quickly available instructions at the central points.
In the age of digitalized industry, this does not mean that a supervisor has to rush over if a few steps are unclear.
Instead, employees pull out a digital device - cell phone, tablet, etc. - and call up the necessary instructions within seconds.
Work instructions can be called up on a fixed screen or from a mobile device, and integration into ERP or MES systems is also possible.
The system quickly guides users to the right page: there, work instructions with information in the form of images, videos and text are provided to the worker in a simple and understandable way for the implementation of the work steps. Visual or acoustic signals can be used to provide support, for example to indicate incomplete processes or announce the next step. If necessary, additional data such as checklists and safety data sheets can be called up immediately via the worker system.
This quick solution is provided by the tepcon "instructor", which we affectionately call the "digital specialist".
The "instructor" software provides workers with precise instructions to help them carry out the work steps and avoid errors.

In professional circles, there are many terms that often mean the same thing or are at least very similar in meaning. This also applies to the terms worker guidance, worker guidance system and worker assistance system. They are often used synonymously, i.e. with the same meaning. This usually refers to special software that provides visual instructions for the workplace. These are often assembly workstations where many different, clearly defined processes are carried out. These processes can be well structured and the worker guidance helps to guide trained or less trained workers through the entire process.
Worker assistance systems are work aids such as our tepcon "instructor", which supports your employees in performing their work optimally. This ensures assembly quality. In addition, the entire production process can be simplified and just as easily documented with a well-designed worker guidance system. For example, the software records real-time data, the analysis of which can in turn help to improve work processes.
Above all, however, the instructor guides the operator through the work steps in an easy-to-understand manner, giving him confidence in his tasks and the necessary information at the right time.
Digitalization has revolutionized work across all industries in recent decades. Worker guidance systems such as the tepcon instructor are flexible and adaptable, which is why they can be used in a wide range of industries. This is demonstrated by the numerous user examples that tell of the success of our digital assistant.

Benefit from sophisticated functions.
Assistance systems for workers simplify processes at every level and ensure error-free and more efficient workflows in the company.
Die Software ermöglicht eine automatische Protokollierung während der Arbeitsausführung, womit sich der Dokumentationsaufwand drastisch verringert. Für notwendige Dokumentationen muss weniger oder gar kein Personal abgestellt werden, trotzdem steigt die Menge erhobener Daten nicht selten an und liefert mehr analysefähige Informationen fürs Qualitätsmanagement.
A short induction is sufficient thanks to the easy-to-understand instructions. This will save you time and personnel, both during the induction phase for new staff and when replacements and similar changes occur.
Complex issues are explained precisely with step-by-step instructions. Ambiguities are eliminated. Additional information can be called up if required.
Existing pressure on employees is minimized by digital work support and motivation increases due to a sense of achievement. The information available at all times also conveys a sense of security.
By sharing the system between workers and colleagues in planning and scheduling, there is maximum transparency about the order situation. Worker management makes an uncomplicated contribution to the distribution and safeguarding of knowledge within the company.
A fixed workstation for predefined production tasks is equipped with a screen via which the instructions can be called up.
The physical environment is adapted so that the work steps can be carried out efficiently with the help of digital instructions.
Tablets, convertibles and smartphones as the basis for flexibility. Flexibility is also supported by the use of software for digital instructions.
Ambient conditions etc. can be recorded and logged via sensors, which can form the basis for future process optimizations.
The customer benefits are immense and will bring you countless advantages for your company that will pay off in a very short time.
The user-friendly software for creating work instructions allows you to create work instructions with little training...
Create step-by-step, time-efficient instructions directly on the object (product, machine, etc.) using a smartphone or tablet.
Individual work steps can be recorded by integrating images, videos, documents and texts.
A selection of company-specific symbols (arrows, markings, etc.) can be added for quick recording of the process steps.
To easily access the instructions via the player mode, a QR code is created that can be attached to the product (machine, system, etc.) as a sticker, for example.
The work steps can now be carried out step-by-step using the digital instructions. Digital tracking also makes it possible to monitor orders and improve work steps if necessary.
Checklists can be processed in parallel to the work steps, documenting which to-dos have been completed and which are still open.
