Video work instructions for manufacturing
Standardize the work.Prove it was understood.
REWO turns expert know-how into multilingual video work instructions, delivers them to the right operator at the right moment, and proves who saw, understood, and signed off. The system of record for how knowledge reaches your shop floor.

The gap
Stored isn't understood.
Most work instructions are written for the audit, then go unread. REWO turns them into instructions operators actually follow — with proof they did.
Document storage
QMS · DMS · SharePoint · PDFs
The gap — manual, uncontrolled, unproven
Distribution
A printout gets posted at the station — with no guarantee it's the current revision. Each change means re-printing and swapping paper across the line.
Language barrier
Text-based SOPs don't work for new or foreign-language operators — so a team leader or translator has to walk them through the job.
Proof of training
Read-and-understood sign-offs are collected on paper and filed in a binder — hard to produce when the auditor asks.

REWO — the missing layer· one complete package
Visualize
Visual work instructions at the point of use — always the current revision, at the right station.
Translate
Auto-translated into 100+ languages — every operator reads the job in their own language, no translator needed.
Prove
Read-and-understood sign-off, revision control and a full audit trail — captured automatically.
The shop floor
current revision at every station
✓ read, understood & on record · audit-ready
Your document system stops at storage. REWO turns it into work that's understood — and proves it.
The payoff
Understanding drives measurable results.
Better understanding on the floor turns into better numbers across the plant.

| Plant & group result | What REWO changes to get there |
|---|---|
| Higher OEE, less downtime | Faster line ramp-ups and fewer stoppages — the current method reaches every station instantly. |
| Better first-pass yield | Operators work to the standardized, understood method — right first time. |
| Lower scrap & rework | The right instruction at the point of use, in the operator's language. |
| Faster time-to-competency | Visual training in the operator's language gets new operators productive in days, not weeks. |
| Audit-ready, stronger compliance | Read-and-understood sign-off, revision control and a full audit trail (IATF 16949 / ISO / GMP). |
| Faster line & product transfers | The standardized method and its training move with the line, so new or relocated lines ramp to standard fast. |
The path
How REWO grows with you
Start with video work instructions and go as deep as your responsibility runs — each layer solves the problem the last one uncovers.
Layer 1 · Authoring
Capture & visualizeAuthor new — or repurpose what you already have
It starts where it hurts: the method lives in your best operator's hands, new and foreign-language hires can't follow text SOPs, and every retirement walks know-how out the door. Record the expert once and REWO turns it into standardized visual work instructions — translated into 100+ languages with AI voiceover, held in an approval workflow before release. And you don't start from zero: pull in your existing SOPs and PDFs and enrich them with a few video steps, so you cover the floor fast.

- standardized WI, revision-controlled
- Speed
- ~2× faster to create and update (Hidria)
Layer 2 · Delivery
Deliver to the point of useThe right revision, the right station
A perfect instruction sitting in a folder changes nothing. REWO delivers the current revision to the right operator at the right station — by QR on the line or embedded in your MES/ERP — with badge-triggered start-of-shift briefings. The laminated sheet from 2021 never updates; this always does.
- Delivery
- QR · MES / ERP
- Revision
- always current
- Reach
- every station, every language
Layer 3 · System of record
Prove understandingSeeing isn't understanding
Delivery puts the method in front of them; it doesn't prove it landed. REWO captures a read-and-understood sign-off at the point of use, with full revision and approval history — so every operator, on every revision, is on record. Audit prep stops being an archaeology project and becomes a query.

- read-&-understood sign-off
- Trail
- revision + approval history
- Ready for
- IATF 16949 / ISO / GMP
Layer 4 · Qualification
Train & certifyFrom instructions to a certified operator
This is where instructions become qualification. Connect the work instructions for a whole line, cell or product into a single training path. The operator works through every station's method with an assessment along the way, and is certified on the whole line's method, not a single task — then the mentor confirms the practical skill on the floor. That's what makes real cross-training and job rotation possible, instead of one person locked to one repetitive station. Certificates expire on a schedule you set, and leaders see who is due for retraining — so onboarding and re-qualification stop living in a spreadsheet.
- Training path
- many WIs → one course, per line / product
- Assessment
- a competency check at each step
- Certification
- whole-line certificate · validity you set
Layer 5 · Insight
Competency & feedbackOversight, not spreadsheets
Now the floor is visible. See who's qualified for what, whose certifications are expiring, and who's been assigned which revision — and what's still open. Completion data shows where operators actually struggle, so you target the real problem step. And it runs both ways: through the feedback loop, the floor flags instructions that are unclear, wrong, or out of date. REWO can feed all of it to the HR, LMS or skills-matrix systems you already run.
- Oversight
- who's qualified · certs expiring · open assignments
- Feedback
- floor flags unclear / outdated steps
- Connects to
- HR · LMS · skills matrix
Layer 6 · Group
Standardize across sitesOne method, every plant
Two things happen at group scale. First, the best-known method stops living in one building — publish it once and every plant runs the same approved standard, governed centrally. Second, when a line relocates or transfers to another site, its instructions, training and certifications travel with it — so the receiving plant ramps far faster than rebuilding from scratch.
- Scope
- all plants, one standard
- Line transfer
- method + training move with the line
- Result
- every site on the best-known way
Start with a single video work instruction. Follow the path, and you build an operation that never loses what it knows — and gets better at it, on every line, in every plant, every day.

How REWO fits your operation
Standalone or integrated
Run REWO on its own at the line, or plug it into the DMS, MES, and HR/LMS systems you already have.
We connect to your systems via REST API + custom connector. Everything left of the overlap runs in REWO alone. On-prem, air-gapped, or cloud.
