Online Documentation Management System

NS-OWI is a browser-based online work instructions management system.
NS-OWI is a custom build Online Work Instructions System for EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) and contains all required templates in order to develop the whole product documentation package required by production lines to manufacture your products.

NS-OWI helps you:

    • Reduce paper wastage due to multiple prints of the same Work Instructions, plus constant document updates require reprinting multi-page documents over and over
    • Reduce wasted time for Doc Control printing and searching for hardcopy Work Instructions to be updated
    • Reduce wasted time for production searching for hardcopy Work Instructions
    • Avoid production using out-dated information because hardcopy Work Instructions are not updated in time
    • Avoid production building products without a proper read of the Work Instructions due to poor availability of the hardcopy documents
    • All online documents are searchable, hardcopy are not
    • Hardcopy documents become damaged, creased, faded, noted on and difficult to read
    • Hardcopy won't let you include interactive content (e.g. Video, 3D images that can be rotated, zoom in, out, etc.)
    • It is difficult to collaborate on a single document with different departments. Online Work Instructions makes collaboration easy.

Link together all your databases

NS-OWI can help you link all your current databases. It would be easier for operators to find tooling/jigs if a link to your jig is added into the OWI and the link also is pointing to a location.

Access to ERP BOM (Bill Of Materials) could be valuable for Setup, Inspection or Repair Operators - link BOM to your OWIs add revision history to it and access any ECNs (engineering Change Notice) with a single click.

At the end of the day, full transparency will give you the highest work efficiency.
