Operations1

Operations1 is a connected worker platform designed for manufacturing companies to manage worker-led processes on the shopfloor. The software provides a central execution layer for creating and delivering digital work instructions, checklists, and inspection reports. A drag-and-drop editor allows process owners to create version-controlled documentation, which workers access via an application that supports offline operations at the workstation. The platform provides step-by-step guidance for assembly, quality inspection, and maintenance tasks, while automatically generating audit-proof reports upon completion.

Key Use Cases

For manufacturing firms with 500 or more employees, Operations1 supports various operational workflows:

• Digital Assembly Instructions: Provides variant-specific guidance for paperless assembly and as-built documentation.
• Digital Quality Inspection: Manages checklists, electronic signatures, and approval workflows for 5S/6S audits and HSSE safety briefings.
• Digital Maintenance: Delivers plans and instructions for preventive and corrective maintenance tasks.
• Employee Onboarding: Supports training for new and temporary staff through guided workflows and organized process knowledge.
• Shopfloor Management: Facilitates structured shift handovers, FAT/SAT acceptance protocols, and SMED setup time optimization.

Technical Integration and Compliance

As an official SAP partner, Operations1 integrates with ERP, MES, CAQ, and DMS systems via bidirectional interfaces. The platform incorporates artificial intelligence features to assist with document creation and workflow execution. The software is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, with hosting provided on Microsoft Azure in the EU.

Reported Outcomes

The developer describes instances where users reported significant output increases and substantial reductions in defect rates following implementation. Furthermore, published documentation highlights improvements in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reductions in mean time to repair (MTTR) among its customers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering, and life sciences.
