Orkla's portfolio includes everything from jams and chocolate, to pizza and ready-to-eat meals. Here's how Orkla uses SwipeGuide to improve content creation and knowledge capture on the shop floor while reducing downtime.
Orkla has used our digital work instruction platform to streamline the authoring, editing, and distribution process of instructions and SOPs on the shop floor.
The minimalist design of the SwipeGuide platform simplifies the content creation process for supervisors. Content creators utilize the minimalist and user-focused platform to create standardized content with a drag-and-drop interface.
Not only can they create work instructions more easily, but they can make them while out in the factory. With SwipeGuide, authors are able to walk the production line with a tablet, take a photo of a particular machine or component, and create a relevant instruction in minutes.
Editing instructions and SOPs within a digital instruction platform means that corrections are published instantaneously. Improvements made to an instruction are instantly available to users.
With SwipeGuide, knowledge can be standardized faster and more effectively because changes and fixes can be implemented and shared across teams with the push of a button.
Instructions made with SwipeGuide gives Orkla's operators the confidence that they will always find the most up-to-date content.
The operator simply activates the instruction via a QR code on the machine, and instantly sees the most up-to-date information in an intuitive format on any mobile device. No more wondering, and no more time spent searching through a binder.
