01 · Efficiency
SOPs and training in minutes, not weeks
Content is drafted from real work, so engineers spend time reviewing, not writing.
Measured by: Hours per approved item
The #1 manufacturing knowledge retention tool.
Setup and roll-out strategy
Onboarding, repairs, processes and know-how, captured from the people doing the work and turned into approved, searchable training your whole site can use.

The roll-out at a glance
Three phases, one platform.
01Stage 1 · Foundation
Create and standardise
Turn the material you already have into approved SOPs and training.
02Stage 2 · Insight
Workforce intelligence
See who knows what, where the gaps are, and what to capture next.
03Stage 3 · Scale
Integrations and on-site capture
Connect your systems and record real work, hands-free, on site.
Stage 1 · Foundation
Phase 1: Create and standardise
Every roll-out begins here. Turn the documents, videos and know-how you already have into standard, approved SOPs and live training, measured against your own baseline from day one.
What it covers
Turning SOPs into courses, creating SOPs against a standard business template at scale, and building training and onboarding courses from existing materials.
- Outcome
- One standard template for every SOP and course, and a first library of approved training live on the floor.
Phase 1 · How it works
- 1
Bring in what exists
Start from the knowledge already in the business, so nothing is rewritten from a blank page.
- 2
Set the brief
Course settings keep every output aimed at the learning objective and the audience.
- 3
Generate the draft
Edplay drafts the SOP or course in your template, with the interactive formats people actually complete.
- 4
Review and publish
AI prepares, people decide. Nothing is published until a qualified reviewer approves it.

ROI measures moved: Hours per approved item · Time to independent work · Scrap and rework by task
“We turned years of PDFs and SharePoint folders into courses people actually finish. Every site now works from the same template.”
Stage 2 · Insight
Phase 2: Workforce intelligence
With approved knowledge in place, the next step is seeing it working across the business: who knows what, on which machine, where the gaps are, and whose knowledge needs passing on before they retire.
What it covers
With the system in place, Edplay gives a wider and deeper view of the business: skills, proficiency and machine tracking, plus capturing knowledge directly from the workforce.
- Outcome
- A live map of skills by person, machine and task, a prioritised gap list, and answers available on mobile mid-job.
Phase 2 · How it works
- 1
Capture on the phone
Frontline workers record the real task as they do it, in about 15 minutes a month.
- 2
Map skills and proficiency
Track capability at skill level, not just whether someone finished a course.
- 3
Detect the gaps
Tell a skill gap from a knowledge gap, and know what to do about each.
- 4
Ask Lia at the point of need
Workers describe the problem and location on mobile and get the approved step mid-job.

- ■Ask Lia live on the knowledge base
ROI measures moved: Unplanned stop time · Contributions per month · Time to independent work
“For the first time I can see which of our people can run which line, and whose knowledge walks out the door when they retire.”
Stage 3 · Scale
Phase 3: Integrations and on-site capture
Once Edplay is part of everyday work, connect it to the systems you already run and put hands-free capture on site, so real repairs and tasks become documented, evidenced knowledge.
What it covers
Connecting Edplay to your existing platforms, and putting AI capture equipment on site to document real work and turn it into SOPs and training.
- Outcome
- Edplay connected to your systems of record, with hands-free capture on site and repair history tied to each machine.
Phase 3 · How it works
- 1
Connect your systems
Plug in what you already run so Edplay starts from one reconciled baseline.
- 2
Capture hands-free
Body-worn devices and smart glasses record the task from the operator's eyes.
- 3
Document the repair
Every repair is recorded against the specific equipment it was done on.
- 4
Prove competence
Video evidence sits with each instruction, and competence data lands in one view.

“I just do the job and talk it through. Ten minutes later it's a draft my supervisor can sign off.”
Capture hardware
The devices that bring on-site capture to your floor.
Deployed as part of Phase 3, supplied, configured and supported by Edplay.
Capture workstation
A fixed station on the factory floor with tablet, AI glasses and charging. Experts record tasks where they happen, and footage is processed into SOPs and training automatically.
Portable capture device
A rugged, ready-to-go case for repairs, clean rooms, line-side work and site visits. Capture knowledge wherever the work is, with no setup on the day.
Why companies invest
The knowledge your site runs on is at risk, and it costs money every day.
1
An ageing workforce
Your most experienced people are getting closer to retirement, and much of what they know isn't written down anywhere.
2
A widening skills gap
New starters arrive with less hands-on experience, and there's less expert time available to train them.
3
Pressure on cost and output
Every hour of downtime, rework or slow onboarding comes straight off the bottom line.
Where the return comes from
Returns our clients see across six areas, each tracked against your own baseline.
02 · Tracking
See every skill, machine and gap
Know who can do what, on which equipment, and where cover is thin before it costs you.
Measured by: Skill gaps closed
03 · Evidence
Audit-ready proof of every task
Approved versions, sign-offs and video evidence held against each task and machine.
Measured by: Audit preparation time
04 · Knowledge retention
Expertise stays when people retire
Critical know-how is captured from experienced staff and owned by the business.
Measured by: Contributions per month
05 · Onboarding
New starters productive sooner
Structured, visual learning from day one, with less shadowing of busy experts.
Measured by: Time to independent work
06 · Instant access
Approved standards at the machine
Ask Lia on any shift and get the proven fix, cutting downtime, scrap and rework.
Measured by: Unplanned stop time
How the return is measured
Every measure starts from your own figures before Edplay, then is tracked month by month after go-live. For example:
Time until a new starter works on their own
−58%12 weeksBefore
8 weeksMonth 3
6 weeksMonth 6
5 weeksMonth 12
Time to fix a repeat fault
−67%90 minutesBefore
70 minutesMonth 3
45 minutesMonth 6
30 minutesMonth 12
- 01
Baseline
In the first four weeks we lock in your current numbers for each measure, from your own systems and records.
- 02
Track
Each measure is tracked as every phase goes live, so the impact is tied to what changed.
- 03
Compare
Results are reported against your baseline, not industry averages.
- 04
Decide
An executive readout at the end of each phase shows the return and whether to move to the next.
Enabling the future workforce
An investment in the people who will run your site next.
Cost savings pay for Edplay. The long-term value is a workforce that learns faster, shares what it knows and keeps your best methods in the business for good.
Learn the way they work
Short, visual, mobile-first guidance that fits how the next generation learns.
Contribute, not just consume
Every operator can add what they know, so the knowledge base grows with the team.
Grow into expert roles
Clear, approved paths from new starter to trusted expert, tracked by skill.
Ready for growth
New lines, sites and shifts open with proven methods already in place.
“I wish we'd started capturing this ten years ago. The next best time is today.”
Your environment, or ours
On-premise, your AWS or Azure tenant, or Edplay's isolated single-tenant AWS.
Zero external model training
Your SOPs and recordings never train public or third-party AI.
Encrypted end to end
AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, including footage on the glasses.
Governed by your rules
Bystander face protection and role-based access to raw footage.
Start with Phase 1.
Turn what you already have into approved training, measure it against your own baseline, and build from there.
