Improve your processes with NFC-driven work instructions and a digital logbook
More and more companies are moving to digital work instructions to carry out their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in a smarter and safer way.
In this blog you will read how the Work Instruction App, thanks to NFC tags on the shop floor and a digital logbook, makes your SOPs instantly available to employees and links them automatically to Exact Online.
📲 What are NFC-driven work instructions?
An NFC tag work instruction is simple: stick an NFC tag on a machine, workstation or installation and link that tag in the app to the right digital SOP.
An employee only has to hold their smartphone against the tag to see the current work instruction on screen.
✅ No more searching for paper instructions or PDFs
✅ The latest approved version is always available
✅ Fewer errors and faster onboarding of new employees
📝 Why a digital logbook is indispensable
The digital logbook in the Work Instruction App lets you record maintenance, inspections, faults and comments in real time.
Every action is stored automatically with the date, time and name of the person who carried it out. This is ideal for audits, quality management and compliance.
🔗 Integration with Exact Online
A major advantage is the seamless link with Exact Online.
Maintenance and inspection data is sent straight to your ERP/accounting system. This avoids double entry, and you always have up-to-date data for reports and analyses.
