VKS Helps Schneider Electric Dinel Eliminate Paper Work Instructions
B
efore VKS, sensor special- ist Schneider Electric Dinel, used paper instruc-
tions containing a lot of text, some drawings, and no photos. Paper instructions are easy to misplace, causing confusion, or at worst, a halt in production. Al-
Work Instruction Software For Schneider Electric Dinel,
work instruction software is a powerful digital tool — one that builds workforce skills, opera- tional efficiency, and productivity through standardization. Using VKS, complex processes are bro- ken down into manageable steps, empowering today’s employees to do and create more. “Some of our processes are so
complex that the only solution is VKS. We use it to respond to the needs of our operation and busi- ness.” says Rabefarinotrona.
Schneider Electric Dinel has integrated VKS into
75 percent of its processes and plans to have it
running on all production lines in the near future.”
“Thanks to VKS guidebooks and videos, it’s like an expert is always beside the operator. Our workers are more autonomous as a result.” says Melanie Guyon, industrial performance engineer apprentice at Schneider Electric Dinel. Unlike paper, VKS also en-

so, paper instructions are time- consuming and tedious to update as processes change and as a company evolves. Intelligent systems that
make the most of our energy and resources are enabling us to reach a form of sustainable growth. For Schneider Electric Dinel, work in- struction software from VKS is a critical component of its digital transformation and development. Since incorporating VKS, Schnei- der Electric Dinel has benefited from increased standardization, improved sustainable practices, and a more independent and re- silient workforce. As a leading manufacturer
of sensors and incredible solu- tions that facilitate data centers, smart homes, and sustainable buildings Schneider Electric Dinel is committed to empower- ing people to make the most of their energy and resources around the world. “Our process before VKS used paper instruc- tions with a lot of text, some drawings, no photos. Before we got VKS we did get some of our instructions updated with photos but for the most part, we were using very outdated instructions, “ says Sakaiza Rabefarinotrona, methods engineer at Schneider Electric Dinel. “Now with VKS, we are able to update our in- structions continuously.” Another problem with paper
instructions is that many rely heavily on text, without visuals, making it difficult for an opera- tor to learn a task if they do not already understand it.
