RapidInstruct
BetaInteractive digital work instructions for the shop floor. Visual operator guidance, granular process control, and real-time performance tracking — without paper SOPs or hardcoded systems.
Sound familiar?
The problems RapidInstruct solves
Most factories run on paper SOPs, tribal knowledge, and informal training. It works — until quality slips, staff change, or volumes go up.
Paper SOPs and ring binders
Printed work instructions on the bench, out of date the moment they're issued, and almost impossible to keep consistent across stations.
With RapidInstruct: Instructions are built and updated through a web UI and delivered digitally at the workstation.
Long, painful onboarding
New operators spend weeks shadowing experienced staff. Knowledge sits in people's heads, not in the process, and quality suffers every time staff change.
With RapidInstruct: Image-driven, step-by-step guidance gets new operators productive in days, not weeks.
No real-time process visibility
You only find out a station is behind or a step was skipped after the order is built — when it's already a quality issue.
With RapidInstruct: Task completion, tact, and bottlenecks are visible as they happen, not after the order is built.
Inconsistent execution
Different operators do the same job differently. Steps get missed, checks get skipped, and tact times are anyone's guess.
With RapidInstruct: Interlocks and built-in checks mean every operator follows the same process, every time.
How it works
From SOP to shop floor
Configure once, deploy everywhere. RapidInstruct turns your processes into live, executable instructions — and feeds real-time data back to the platform.
Build instructions
Use the web UI to configure tasks, images, data fields, and checks. Granular control, down to a single task, without writing code.
- Granular, task-level instructions
- Images and data visualisations
- Evolving toolkit of task types
- Built without writing code
Deploy to stations
Model your workstations and the work they can run, then push instructions to the right stations based on the operation and the order being run.
- Flexible workstation modelling
- Configurable station capabilities
- Feeds factory resource allocation
- Web-based configuration UI
Operators execute
Operators follow visual, step-by-step instructions on a tablet or PC. Interlocks keep the sequence right, so no step is skipped and no check is missed.
- Clear, station-by-station guidance
- Configurable step interlocks
- Validation between operations
- Quality checks built into the flow
Capture & analyse
Task completion, tact, and process parameters captured in real time. Feeds quality, traceability, and performance reporting.
- Real-time task completion tracking
- Tact and station-level performance data
- Process parameters and results per task
- Bottleneck identification
How it fits
Process discipline, without the paperwork
RapidMES manages orders, items, and Bills of Process. RapidInstruct adds the task-level detail inside each operation — what the operator sees, does, and records at the workstation.
It runs on top of RapidMES, where orders, items, and Bills of Process flow through to drive the right instructions at the right station. Paired with RapidInventory, instructions executed at the station can trigger material consumption automatically.
