One platform.
Six core modules.
From video and speech recordings to clear, multilingual work instructions. With version control, a traceable session log, integrations with existing business software and analytics. Built for daily use on the shop floor.
Capabilities for creating and maintaining digital work instructions.
Six core modules — developed within the collaboration with TNO and in daily use on the shop floor at Dutch manufacturers.
From video and speech to steps
An experienced worker records and explains the process. The platform turns audio and video into a first set of structured steps, so engineers and work-prep staff spend their time reviewing and refining instead of typing from scratch.
One source, many languages
Translate work instructions automatically into 25+ languages, so every worker — including external partners or service technicians — gets the explanation in a language they understand.
Video-step sync
Each step is linked to the matching moment in the video. Because text, visual context and sequence are connected, there is less room for interpretation on the shop floor.
Audit trail & compliance
Every session is logged and version-bound. Suitable as supporting evidence for ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949 and customer audits.
Analytics dashboard
See where operators struggle, which steps are rewatched, and who has worked through which instructions. A practical input for targeted training and continuous improvement.
ERP/MES/PLM integration
Integrations with existing business software — ERP, HR, MES and PLM. Based on a work order, the right instruction is shown, so operators work with the current, approved version.
Ensure compliance. Built for regulated manufacturing.
Version control, approval workflows, and immutable audit logs are aligned with the requirements of EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Every action is logged automatically. Nothing is ever truly deleted — only archived.
EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230
Version control and approval workflows for machinery and the associated work instructions.
IATF 16949
Immutable audit logs for automotive suppliers and customer audits.
ISO 9001
Traceable change history at process and document level.
ISO 13485
Document control aligned with medical-device requirements.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11
Electronic records and controlled access for pharma and life sciences.
10-year retention
Automated enforcement of the retention policy. Archival in place of deletion.
Platform features and the legal requirements — explicitly mapped.
From 20 January 2027 Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 explicitly recognises digital work instructions, provided they meet a number of hard requirements. Five platform features directly cover the core of those requirements. Full explanation on the Machinery Regulation page →
Machine-identity binding
A QR code or serial-number link on the machine routes to the correct version of the correct instruction set — automatically updated after release.
MR requirement: the machine must indicate how to find the instructions (article on machine-affixed reference).
Lifecycle retention (10+ years, immutable)
Immutable archive per released version, linked to the machine identity. Audit log of every change. Full history retrievable.
MR requirement: instructions and EU declaration of conformity available for the lifetime of the machine, minimum 10 years.
Paper-on-demand export
One-click export to a print-ready PDF, identical to the digital version and in your corporate branding. Available for every released version.
MR requirement: a paper copy free of charge on user request, for the lifetime of the machine.
EU DoC hosted alongside the instructions
The EU declaration of conformity is hosted at the same QR target as the instruction set. One click away from the operating instructions.
MR requirement: the EU declaration of conformity digitally accessible for at least 10 years.
Multilingual delivery as a compliance feature
Automatic translation into 25+ languages from one source version. Machine-readable metadata per step, quality control by a human reviewer. Not English only — also Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian and any other EU language.
MR requirement: the instruction is available in the official language(s) of the Member State where the machine is put into use.
No claim of being “MR-certified” — that designation does not exist. What does exist: a platform that covers the practical requirements of the regulation from the start. For customers who want to underpin their Machinery-Regulation positioning toward their clients: see the Machinery Regulation page.
What digital work instructions can deliver.
Indicative figures based on practical experience with Dutch manufacturers and in line with research on digital work instructions. Actual impact depends on process, organisation and user adoption.
From video recording to work instruction in three steps.
Record
An experienced operator captures the process on video — with a phone, tablet or camera. No script, no crew. They do the work as usual and explain what they are doing.
The platform generates a first draft
The platform — developed within the collaboration with TNO and informed by applied research on speech recognition, video analysis and automatic generation of work instructions — turns the recording into a step-by-step instruction, with multilingual translation.
Review, release and use on the floor
A work-prep specialist or senior worker reviews and refines the instruction. After release, workers follow the steps on a tablet or smartphone. Every session is logged — who, what, when, in which version. Suitable for ISO 9001 and AS9100 documentation.
Where Instant Instructions differs.
Approach. Instead of typing instructions from scratch, video and speech from an experienced worker form the starting point. The platform generates a first draft; engineers and work-prep staff focus on review and refinement. For comparison: Azumuta, VKS, Dozuki.
Collaboration with TNO. The platform was developed within a joint venture with TNO and is informed by Dutch applied research on digital work instructions and Smart Industry.
Ownership. Your instructions remain your property. Export functionality is standard.
