Use Work Instruction Tasks to Complete a Work Order Operation at a Workstation

Welcome to the demo of the 24D feature, use work instruction tasks to complete a work order operation at a workstation in Fusion Manufacturing. With this feature, you can use work instruction tasks to help guide operators through the work execution of an operation at a workstation, using text and visual media.

Guided execution flows help improve operator confidence when executing production, reduce the time spent in looking through multiple sources for information, and ensures compliance with the predefined manufacturing process. Now you have most up-to-date work instructions embedded into the execution flow. Operator views them as a sequence of tasks when performing operation at a workstation.

Let us see a demonstration to understand how digital work instructions are used at a workstation. I'm logged in as a production operator. I can navigate to operator workbench using the task, execute production at a workstation. Now I will be checking into my workstation. I am now checked into the workstation. I'm going to find a work order to start working on.

Now this operation is ready for me to start. I click the Start button to get into the execution page. Here I have the option to report completion for this operation. And right here, I see View Work Instruction button. This is telling me that this operation contains instructions for me to refer to.

Let us view the instruction now. When I click that button, it is taking me to a separate page. And this is a guided process. This is going to show us step by step what we need to do to complete this operation. In this view, what we see on the top of the page is the name of the task that we are performing. And the context information is right below. So the work order details and the station that we are working out of is available for us. And below that is the instructions that we can follow.

At any point of time, we can click this button to quit this instruction and go back to the operation page, or we can continue following these instructions to the end. We also have quick navigation on the right side. And this is telling us where we are in this overall process.

I am in the first step out of the five total steps I need to complete for this operation. I can just click this to expand and view what those tasks are. Any eligible task, I can directly navigate from here. And this is going to load the third task now. And this also works two ways. I can click the back button to go back to the previous task, like so.

Only clicking the Continue button will mark the task as completed. So now we can see this task is checked as completed. By clicking the Continue button, I have completed tasks one through four. And this is the last task. And I'm going to review this and complete this as well. And because this is the last task, I see this Submit button here. And clicking this should complete this whole instruction set and take me to the operations page.

Now we are back in the operations page. This button can be clicked again. It will launch the instructions. There are no limits as to how many times that can be done. In this release, this is not mandatory in order to complete the quantities. And that is how you can use work instruction tasks to complete a work order operation at a workstation. This concludes the demonstration for this feature. Thank you so much for watching.
