Put your complete work instructions literally in the palm of your operators’ hands, enabling them to keep adding value.
WHAT IS BUILDGUIDE?
BUILDGUIDE process control suite provides step-by-step guidance to your operators electronically via familiar mobile devices — smartphone or tablet. BUILDGUIDE empowers your engineers to easily construct a unified set of electronic work instructions, creating a digital thread from product design to manufacture, then back to enterprise systems with automatically populated electronic build reports. Your operators have immediate, independent access to all steps, detailed instructions on a CAD-like user interface, and automatic electronic buyoffs.
