Industries · Metals & materials

Metals and materials work instructions — know-how that outlasts the shift.

In aluminium, steel, casting and materials plants, the method often lives with long-serving operators, and many steps are safety-critical. REWO captures that know-how on video, trains every operator on it and keeps the record of who was trained on what.

The challenge

Why metals and materials plants are hard to standardize

Know-how with veterans

Experienced operators carry the method, and retirements take it with them.

Safety-critical steps

Furnaces, presses and heavy equipment leave no room for guesswork.

Round-the-clock operation

Every shift must run the process the same way.

Maintenance and changeovers

Rare but critical tasks are hard to remember when they come round.

In practice

How metals and materials producers use REWO

Audits

The record behind your audit

Customer, IATF and ISO audits ask how the process is controlled and how people are trained. REWO gives you the record: the approved instruction at each station, sign-off tied to each revision, and training status for every operator.

From the floor

What we hear from metals and materials producers

The know-how sits with long-serving operators, and safety-critical steps can't depend on who happens to be on shift.
