Graphical Documentation (GDOC)
Optel's Graphical Documentation (GDOC) provides a digital alternative for graphical work instructions pertaining to box builds, circuit assembly, rework, and quality assurance inspections, thus removing the dependency on paper. This cutting-edge system allows for the allocation of assembly instructions alongside various multimedia components at both the component and assembly tiers. Users can integrate a variety of content, including text, images, videos, documents, and hyperlinks, while enjoying a graphical editor designed for engineers and a viewer optimized for operational use, with all instructions securely stored in the Optel database. The tool accommodates a hierarchical Bill of Materials (BOM), which aids in drafting work instructions for complex product assemblies that might involve multiple circuit assemblies or subassemblies. Additionally, GDOC manages the entire manual assembly workflow, encompassing everything from scheduling and line balancing to producing specific documents tailored for each operator on the assembly line. Its versatility further allows customers to implement GDOC for a singular manual station or to supervise and coordinate multiple manual assembly lines simultaneously. This adaptability not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures that GDOC can effectively address the unique demands of each manufacturing scenario with ease. Furthermore, the user-friendly interface ensures that teams can quickly adapt to the system, enhancing overall productivity and reducing the learning curve.
