Keep your master technicians’ know-how from getting lost between shifts

The right setting for a machine, a quality check step that must not be skipped, or the assembly point to go to when the alarm sounds becomes a risk when it lives only in experienced employees’ memories. With UZEM, turn your work instructions into short videos and documents, assign them to the relevant line and verify them with a quiz.

Why does factory knowledge stay in the master technician’s head?

In manufacturing, training is often about a machine setting, a quality step or what to do in an emergency; this knowledge lives in experienced employees more than in written instructions. Three shifts, contractor teams and operators without computers make classroom training hard. With UZEM, you turn instructions into short videos and documents, assign them by line, verify them with a quiz and keep records department by department.

  • Line-specific instructions You assign a machine instruction only to the line where that machine is; operators are not burdened with irrelevant content.
  • Master know-how on record Short videos shot on a phone at the machine become permanent lessons.
  • One source through revisions When an instruction is revised, the lesson is updated and an announcement sends a notification and email to the employees concerned.
  • Separate group for contractors Contractor workers are trained in their own group, only with the site induction and facility rules.
  • Access from a shared computer On the shared computer in the training room, each operator signs in with their own account and their progress is recorded under their name.
  • Verifiable internal certificate The certificate of an employee who passes the quiz is verified by QR code; records are ready for facility audits.
  • Keeping interest through repetition Points and badges add a sense of progress across departments to recurring safety training.

Industry challenges and solutions

Problem

Work instructions are on boards, in binders and on personal phones; it is unclear which one is current.

Solution

The current instruction document and explainer video sit in one source within the relevant course; when there is a revision, the lesson is updated and an announcement is made.

Who uses it?

Production operator

Learns the work instruction for their workstation, setup steps for product changeovers and safe working rules at the machine through visual lessons.

Use cases

  • Machine work instruction library Assign a step-by-step explainer video and downloadable instruction for each machine to the relevant production line.
  • Emergency and evacuation training Assign assembly points, alarm types and emergency team duties to the whole factory before the drill.
  • 5S and lean manufacturing basics Explain the sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain steps with before-and-after photos from your own shop floor.
  • Quality awareness Give operators a short program on nonconformity reporting, measurement errors and tracing customer complaints to their source.
  • Contractor site induction Assign facility rules and safety induction with a short quiz to the contractor group.

How your academy is prepared

When you open an account with this industry, the structure below is set up as a draft; you adjust everything to fit your organization.

8 units · 0 categories · 3 sample courses

Factory, departments, lines and contractors

The factory sits at the top, with Production, Maintenance, Quality, OHS and Logistics departments below it, and production lines under the Production department. Contractor workers are kept in a separate group. When you assign emergency training to the factory, everyone is covered; a machine instruction goes only to the line where that machine is. If you have multiple facilities, each factory becomes its own branch.

Sample unit tree

Sample structure: Sample Factory → Production (Sample Production Line 1) / Maintenance / Quality / OHS / Logistics / Contractor Workers

Your factory academy opens with this structure: Under Sample Factory, the Production (with Sample Production Line 1), Maintenance, Quality, OHS and Logistics departments and the Contractor Workers group come ready. OHS, Machines, Maintenance, Quality, Emergency and Work Instructions categories are defined. OHS Basic Induction, Emergency Plan and 5S Practices are added as drafts, and the gamification module is turned on.

Rollout steps

  1. Build the factory tree

    Replace the sample factory and line with your own facilities, departments and lines; make shift supervisors unit managers.

  2. Record your instructions

    Add short machine videos shot on a phone and instruction documents to the relevant courses.

  3. Assign to departments and lines

    Assign OHS and emergency training to the factory, machine instructions to lines, and the site induction to the contractor group.

  4. Check before audits

    Track completion and quiz results by department and line, and close gaps at the start of each shift.

Frequently asked questions

The 8 most frequently asked questions.

Can't find the answer you're looking for?

Browse the help center or write your question to us.

How do operators without a computer or corporate email get trained?

They sign in from their own phone’s browser or from the shared computer in the training room, each with their own account. An internet connection is required.

Does OHS training in UZEM replace official OHS training?

No. UZEM publishes, measures and records in-house training. The content, duration and certification of legally required training remain the responsibility of your organization, your OHS specialist and authorized bodies.

Can we keep contractor firms’ workers separate?

Yes. Contractor workers are kept in their own group and see only the training assigned to them; they can also be split into sub-units by firm.

Are operators notified when an instruction is revised?

When you update the lesson and publish an announcement, the employees concerned receive an in-app notification and an email.

We have multiple factories; can they be reported separately?

Yes. Each factory is defined as its own branch; reports are filtered by factory, department and line.

How do we bring over our printed work instructions and training videos?

You attach scanned or digital versions of instructions as PDFs to the relevant course; videos shot at the machine are uploaded from the dashboard and become lessons. You enter quiz questions into the question bank grouped by machine or topic. You can import employees and the department-line structure via CSV; importing ready-made lesson packages is not supported.

How do contractor and shift workers affect licensing?

Only active users count toward the license. When you deactivate a contractor worker whose job is done or an operator who has left, capacity is freed and the training record is kept. Plans are tiered by active user capacity; you can see current options on the Pricing page.

Can it connect to our production or maintenance management software?

No, we do not offer ready-made connections to enterprise software such as production planning, maintenance management or HR systems; you import the employee list via CSV. You can use Zoom for live briefings across facilities and a Netgsm or Mutlucell connection for bulk SMS to shifts.
