Smart Modules supercharge work instructions with warnings, photo evidence, AI step verification, AR spatial instruction pins, signature requests, and more

We’re excited to introduce Smart Modules built to help operators follow workflows by providing visual cues and spatial guidance. Use Smart Modules to improve retention through quizzes, and streamline audit trails by capturing and verifying photo evidence, securing signatures, and documenting numerical values. 

Information Smart Modules:

• Instructions: Provide detailed guidance to ensure safety and compliance. 
• Warnings: Highlight critical safety warnings.
• Reminders: Share relevant tips and best practices to optimize performance and adherence.

Context Modules: 

• Spatial Instructions: Use Augmented Reality (AR) pins to indicate where procedures should be performed.
• Media: Attach photos and videos for clarity and visual reinforcement.

Action Modules:

• Photo Evidence: Capture step completion, and leverage AI-powered photo verification. 
• Interactive Questions: Include multiple choice or open-ended questions graded by AI to test proficiency and ensure retention.
• Number Input: Document numerical data within specified ranges for audit trails.
• Signatures: Collect operator signatures for ironclad documentation.

Auto-generated Video Captions break through the noise

Squint has just rolled out auto-generated captions on videos for crystal clear instructions, even in loud workspaces.

The new captions appear in the video's native language and are now available on both mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms. Never let a noisy environment get in the way of your success! Auto-generated captions empower users to:

• Follow clear text versions of the spoken instructions, ensuring important details are never missed, whether you're working on the shop floor or in a bustling warehouse.
• Bridge language barriers and support a multicultural workforce.
• Access vital information anytime, anywhere.

‍Procedure Sets streamline workflows and training by grouping procedures effortlessly

We’re introducing Procedure Sets, which allow managers to group one or more procedures to better organize workflow and training management. Use Procedure Sets to:

• Assign Work: Shift leaders can group maintenance or repair tasks for team members to complete collaboratively. ‍
• Train: Senior employees, such as team leads or learning and development managers, can create content to certify operators in specific skills, incorporating both theoretical and practical assessments.

By grouping Procedures into sets, managers enable better progress tracking across complex workflows, such as those involving multiple steps, facility locations, or operators.
