Digitalization has firmly established itself in everyday production processes, regardless of the industry. Nevertheless, habits remain from the days before widespread digitalization, traditional solutions not going hand in hand with business efficiency. Paper is an example of this \u2013 it is still common when creating documentation used on the shop floor. Creating a paperless manufacturing environment will ensure that you never go back to paper documentation again.<\/strong><\/p>

The implementation of an MES<\/a> \u2013 and thus creating a paperless manufacturing environment \u2013 translates into more efficient manufacturing processes and analytics.<\/p>

Creating documents in a company covers a unique spectrum of tasks, as it involves such processes as:<\/strong><\/p>

\u2022 data management<\/p>

\u2022 general distribution<\/p>

\u2022 document archiving<\/p>

\u2022 updating of rules and regulations<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In this context, filing paper documentation<\/strong> is both time-consuming<\/strong> y costly<\/strong>. It requires more human resources<\/strong> and regular purchase of base material. This is compounded by the growing problem of how to store<\/strong> the catalogues, binders, lists and all the other products, collected over the years, that constitute the archive of the company. In the case of a claim, finding the right documentation can be difficult or impossible<\/strong>.<\/p>

A paperless system instead of paper-based documentation workflow in a company<\/strong><\/h2>

In order to create paperless environments, companies are gradually migrating data<\/strong> from paper records to their own IT systems<\/strong>. This is a time-consuming process. The wrong choice of paperless solution, inaccurate communication in relation to the tasks set, technical deficiencies \u2013 all of these can contribute to an incorrect transfer of resources. As a result, although formally theoretical digitalization and elimination of paper documentation are taking place, in practice things like human error<\/strong> can lead to delays and prolonged processes.<\/p>

This is why it is so important to choose the tecnolog\u00eda adecuada<\/strong> y el sistema para garantizar la migraci\u00f3n de datos al software de taller de forma no invasiva. Esto puede garantizarse con la soluci\u00f3n Accevo: sin papel<\/strong> modules for documentaci\u00f3n digital<\/strong> and paperless manufacturing.<\/p>

Paper documentation: problem and solution<\/strong><\/h2>

The answer to this question in the vast majority of companies \u2013 regardless of their business profile \u2013 is similar: yes, excess paper is harmful<\/strong>. It translates into higher business costs<\/strong>, requires people to handle tasks and is sometimes difficult in terms of analytics.<\/p>

If you look at the use of paper in the production process alone \u2013 thus ignoring for example administration \u2013 you can see how many documents have mandatory status. These include not only job and assembly documentation but also quality-related sheets<\/strong>, maintenance schedules<\/strong>, OHS instructions<\/strong> and system changeover instructions<\/strong>.<\/p>

Paper documentation in the production process also presents a risk of inappropriate records<\/strong> \u2013 mainly a lack of updating. While with paperless manufacturing software it is easier to make sure that this process is carried out, the instructions hanging next to the machine are sometimes forgotten and ignored. Incorrect documentation used in the production process results in a large number of quality issues. In addition, in the case of a multi-stage production or a division of tasks with a large number of diverse positions, the control of paper documents is difficult.<\/p>

How to move paper documentation workflow into paperless manufacturing software?<\/strong><\/h2>

The Accevo Digital Documentation Module<\/strong> technology is the solution. It is a module that demonstrates that the traditional understanding and perception of documents can be digital<\/strong> but still retain its natural character<\/strong>.<\/p>

The solution, which is enjoying considerable popularity, is based on the preparation of a special operator\u2019s control panel. This software for production allows you to display documentation files in PDF format; in addition, it provides a display of videos and photos for a given production order<\/strong>, the type of operation<\/strong> or the type of machine<\/strong>. What the operator gets in practice, therefore, is a much broader package of resources: not just the paper documentation itself \u2013 e.g. a manual \u2013 but a full package of multimedia perfectly illustrating the individual processes.<\/p>

Also notable is how the digital documentation is cataloged. In most cases, this is done in terms of user and departmental permissions. You can therefore ensure that access to specific content is available to people with specific needs or levels<\/strong>. This also makes it easier to ensure that the operator can check all the documents<\/strong> and instructions necessary for the current production order<\/strong>.<\/p>

Another benefit of the software for production is the care for constant updating of documents and the form of their presentation. If the data has been overwritten and contains new content that the user needs to be familiar with<\/strong>, this is displayed as a priority. Moreover, the operator must confirm<\/strong> that they have read the new version. This mechanism can be used to generate feedback \u2013 for example to the quality department after a customer complaint.<\/p>

Paper reports: problem and solution<\/strong><\/h2>

Report<\/strong>s are another area that is covered by the use of paper in a company. These include production, quality, shift, batch and other analyses<\/strong>. In their case, the main challenge is quality as well as regularity and time. They are collected manually \u2013 with delays and a considerable risk of human error<\/strong>.<\/p>

Even despite basic digital implementations, the problem often remains only superficially solved. Duplicate reporting from paper to IT systems (ERP, WMS, CMMS and others) can occur, resulting in communication chaos. Another problem \u2013 of high importance in the overall operation of a company! \u2013 is the long time it takes for a batch to be released<\/strong> and for documentation to be completed.<\/p>

Attention should also be drawn to the general difficulty of verifying<\/strong> that the production process has been carried out according to plan<\/strong>.<\/p>
