Prepare assembly and operating steps so operators can follow a reviewed method. Explore assembly work instructions
Digital work instructions software
Digital work instructions software for industrial teams.
Create reviewed instructions for assembly, maintenance and quality tasks. Authors prepare the method, experts check the content, and operators open the published instruction in a browser and record the execution information configured for the task.
For industrial teams
Who uses digital work instructions?
Maintenance teams
Combine source instructions, visual steps and intervention records. Explore maintenance instructions
Quality and training teams
Reuse appropriate procedures for guided checks or training, with configured reporting. Operators follow the published steps and record the information requested for the task. Explore guided quality checks
How authoring works
From your source material to a reviewed instruction
- Provide the methodBring reference PDFs, expert knowledge and a representative task. A 3D model is optional.
- Draft and editPrepare PDF-grounded AI drafts or write the steps. Supply missing technical requirements.
- Add visual guidanceUse available images and media, or author part actions and views on a supported model.
- Review the instructionExperts check the task sequence, technical facts, visuals and intended equipment before release.
- Publish and useOperators open the web viewer by link or QR code and report configured execution information.
3D imports include OBJ, FBX, GLB, self-contained GLTF and USDZ. STEP/STP import is beta; use ZIP for supported assembly or companion-file workflows. Review CAD inputs, drafting and visual-authoring responsibilities.
A readable example
Inspect the conveyor drive example
The existing assembly demonstration presents three authored steps: position the bracket, fit the drive motor and insert four mounting screws. The highlighted parts and selected views explain each action. A required-tool panel illustrates how authored resources appear beside a step.
This is a scripted website demonstration, not a live AI generation or an approved procedure. Authors must establish the real method and approved tightening, safety and acceptance requirements.

At the point of work
See the instruction an operator opens
In this published SO-101 example, the first step is “Unscrew the Initial Set of Screws.” The relevant screws are highlighted in the model, with the step text and navigation beside the view. It is a separate example from the authored conveyor demonstration above.
Operators open a published instruction by link or product QR code. Confirm the intended browser, access settings and equipment during evaluation.
Authoring and review
Make the source and the expert correction visible
The following CP-200 text is an authored example using our illustrative maintenance manual. It explains the review responsibilities; it is not a recording of AI generation or a customer approval.
Start with a reference
The sample PDF describes removing a coupling guard, inspecting the coupling and refitting the guard. Preserve its before-you-begin requirement and identify missing task details.
Read the illustrative source PDFCheck the draft
An instruction saying only “Remove the guard” leaves its prerequisites out of the step context. The author must retain the approved safe-access reference and add the equipment-specific requirements.
Follow the PDF-to-instruction worked exampleReview before release
The reviewer checks the sequence, part references, visual actions and acceptance criteria. Missing values remain open authoring tasks until the approved source supplies them.
Check CAD authoring responsibilitiesExecution information
What operators can report
At each step
Configured step status, elapsed duration, comments and optional photos.
For the run
Operator and serial fields, timing, feedback and ratings where enabled.
For review
Execution reports available as PDF, Word or Excel. Records describe reported activity; they do not establish an immutable execution-to-revision binding. Our illustrative pump report contains a request for a closer view of the guard mounting points and leaves reviewer sign-off pending.
A practical first evaluation
Evaluate one instruction with your team
Bring
A recurring task, its reference material and the people who author, approve and use it.
Check
Have an author prepare the instruction and an expert review it. Test the intended viewer, link or QR access and reporting settings.
Measure
Assess operator clarity, missing information, authoring and review effort, and whether the recorded evidence meets your needs.
Before your pilot
Digital work instructions questions
What is digital work instructions software?
Digital work instructions software helps industrial teams author, review and deliver step-by-step guidance. TwinWorks combines text and visual procedures, browser access and configurable execution records for assembly, maintenance and other operational tasks.
Do we need a 3D model?
No. Procedures can be authored without a model. A supported 3D model adds part-level visual guidance; reference PDFs can support AI procedure drafts. Authors supply missing facts and review the result.
How do operators access instructions?
Operators open the published procedure in the TwinWorks web viewer through a link or product QR code. Confirm the intended browser, equipment and access settings during evaluation.
What execution information can be recorded?
When reporting is enabled, records can include step status and duration, comments, operator and serial fields, ratings and optional photos. These are reported execution data, not proof of a physical inspection or an immutable record of the exact procedure revision used.
