Smart glasses work instructions that prove the job was done right
In short: film a complex task once. Skills Velocity turns it into step-by-step, voice-searchable instructions that operators follow hands-free on smart glasses, a tablet or a phone. Every step followed can be tracked and errors advised, so a record is ready the moment your client or auditor asks.
Smart glasses are one part of the Skills Velocity stack. For the whole picture, including sovereign closed-circuit AI, the nine AI agents and camera quality control, see sovereign AI for manufacturing.
Who are smart glasses work instructions for?
For operations, quality and EHS leaders in defence, chemical, engineering and manufacturing, where processes are complex, an error is expensive, and customers and regulators ask you to prove how the work was done. If a new starter takes months to become safe and effective, or your best operator’s way of working lives only in their head, this is for you.
What problem does it solve?
- Slow starters. The UK average for a new hire to reach full productivity is 28 weeks (Oxford Economics). Hands-free, step-by-step guidance at the point of work shortens the climb.
- Know-how stuck in a few heads. When experts retire or move on, the best way of doing a task goes with them. Filming it once makes it repeatable. See key-person risk and how to capture expert know-how.
- Errors, rework and wastage. Consistent steps, followed every shift, mean getting it right first time more often.
- Proof on demand. Instead of searching paper and spreadsheets, you hold a record of what was done and who can do it.
How do smart glasses work instructions work?
- CaptureAn expert films a real task on a phone, tablet or smart glasses and talks it through. Existing SOPs and old courses can come in too.
- CreateClosed-circuit AI turns the video into step-by-step work instructions, translates voice and captions and writes quizzes. The expert approves before anything goes live.
- GuideOperators follow the next step hands-free on smart glasses, tablet or phone, and can search by voice. Questions asked out loud are answered only from approved content
- ProveDigital checklists for line clearance, changeovers and audits, each step signed off with photo evidence. Every person gets a learning record and skills gap view.
- ImproveMost-asked questions show trainers what to fix, and remote expert calls become short learning nuggets for the next person.
How does it help with client and auditor evidence?
Compliance+ records each step, check and sign-off as audit evidence, so you can show how a task was done and who was competent to do it. It supports the evidence customers and auditors ask for under standards such as ISO 9001, and for health and safety and good manufacturing practice (GMP) reviews. It does not replace your quality management system: it gives it better evidence.
Is it secure enough for defence and chemical sites?
Skills Velocity is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. You can choose sovereign hosting in the jurisdiction you need, run it in your own cloud or on-premise, and use single sign-on (SAML/OIDC) and SCIM provisioning. For restricted sites it can run on a private network with no internet access: read secure LMS for private networks.
Frequently asked questions
What are smart glasses work instructions?
Smart glasses work instructions are step-by-step guidance shown hands-free at the point of work. In Skills Velocity, an expert films a task once, closed-circuit AI turns the video into step-by-step instructions, and operators follow them on smart glasses, a tablet or a phone.
How do I turn an expert’s know-how into work instructions?
Film the expert doing the real task while they talk it through. AI turns the footage into step-by-step instructions, translates the voice and captions, and writes quizzes, and the expert approves everything before it is used.
Can it prove to a client or auditor that a task was done to the standard?
It can. Each step, check and sign-off can be recorded, with photo evidence on digital checklists, and every person gets a learning record and skills gap view. That gives you evidence ready for a customer audit or an ISO 9001 review.
Does it only work on smart glasses?
No. The same instructions run on smart glasses, tablets and phones, so people can use whichever suits the task and the site.
Is it secure enough for defence and chemical sites?
Skills Velocity is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. It offers sovereign hosting in the jurisdiction you choose, in your own cloud or on-premise, supports SAML/OIDC single sign-on and SCIM provisioning, and can run on a private network with no internet access.
What do I need to try it?
One task. Bring it to a demo and we will turn it into training live, while you watch.
