Retirements, labor shortages, and rising production complexity are widening the gap between what workers need to know and what's actually documented. Static PDFs and tribal knowledge aren't scaling. This interactive workshop explores how manufacturers are using visual work instructions to capture expert knowledge, accelerate onboarding, and deliver the right guidance to every worker at the point of work.

Participants will share challenges and insights through facilitated roundtable discussions, then move into a guided, hands-on session creating and delivering visual work instructions in the Canvas Envision platform.

What you'll take away:

• Capture expert knowledge into structured, reusable visual work instructions before experienced workers retire or move on.
• Reduce onboarding time and accelerate time-to-competency by replacing static documents with interactive, visual instructions.
• Strengthen compliance and traceability through structured instructions with built-in data capture and feedback.
• Cut work instruction creation time from weeks to minutes by using AI to transform existing PDFs, videos, and 3D models into structured visual instructions.
• Eliminate outdated work instructions by staying connected to engineering changes, ensuring workers are always building to the current design.

Format: Facilitated roundtable discussions followed by a guided, hands-on session in the platform. Bring your own laptop if you would like to access our online platform.
