Free introduction

We digitise the knowledge your company already has.

We turn hard-to-use company know-how into practical digital material your team can actually work with. The format depends on the problem.

Why companies are doing this now.

A quarter of the people working in industry are 55 or older, and skilled people are hard to find. That makes it worth having what they know in a form others can use.

Paper? We scan it.

Binders, manuals, drawings and maintenance records that exist only on paper. To use one, someone has to know which cabinet it is in.

Binders, a folded technical drawing and handwritten notes on a desk

Typical start

A few cabinets or shelves of documents, and nobody sure which are still current.

What we do

Scan them, give every file a proper name and put them in a structure that makes sense to the people who use it.

What you have afterwards

Organised digital files, in a structure that is yours and easy for your team to use.

Messy files? We organise them.

The information is digital already, but it is spread across folders, network drives and inboxes, and nobody is sure which version is the latest.

Three worn binders, three USB sticks and a disc in a paper sleeve

Typical start

Drawings, PDFs, spreadsheets and photos in shared folders, with several versions of the same document.

What we do

Go through it with someone who knows the material, agree what is current, and bring it into one clear structure with consistent names.

What you have afterwards

A clear place to look, with current versions identified and organised together.

Only in someone's head? We capture it.

Some things are known only by the two or three people who have done them for years, and they explain it again every time someone new starts.

An experienced colleague at the machine he has worked on for years

Typical start

A procedure, a machine or a way of working that a few experienced colleagues really know.

What we do

Sit down with them and go to where the work happens. We ask, watch, record and write down how it is actually done.

What you have afterwards

The knowledge in a form others can use, also when that colleague is busy, away or retired.

Needs instructions? We create them.

For work people should be able to follow on their own: a procedure at the machine, a manual for a product, a standard that has to be done the same way every time.

Typical start

A task that is shown once at the machine and then expected to be remembered.

What we do

Turn it into step-by-step instructions, a digital manual or process documentation, with the parts and tools named at each step.

What you have afterwards

Kiekens, Turbo U7, assembly step 10 on a tablet: the step names the part and the tool

Clear guidance a new colleague can follow without having to ask.

Hard to explain? We visualise it.

Some things are easier to show than describe. That's when video, photography or animation make sense.

Video

Procedures as they are really done, filmed where the work happens.

Photography

Parts, tools and products, photographed the same way every time.

Animation

What a camera cannot show.

Capture it once. Use it again and again.

Every project follows the same four steps. Which formats it needs is decided in scoping, from what has to be explained, to whom, and where they will use it.

  1. CaptureWe collect what exists: the paper, the files, and what people know and show.
  2. DigitiseWe make it digital in the simplest way that works: scanned, written down, photographed or filmed.
  3. StructureWe name it, sort it and put it in an order your team recognises.
  4. UseWe hand it over in a form people can open and follow where they do the work.

The result is yours. You decide how far to take it.

Everything we make is delivered as files and content that work on their own, without an EKKO system. If you later want to add more, bring it all together in one place, or use AI with your own company knowledge, having it digital is where that starts.

Needs one central place? The Library is available.

The EKKO Library is one online place for what we have made for you, in your branding, opened on a tablet or phone at the machine. It is an extra. Nothing we make depends on it.

Indicative price, excluding VAT. New content or a larger restructure is quoted separately.

In your branding

Your name on it, not ours.

Organised your way

Per product or machine, then per phase and step. At Kiekens: assembly, installation and maintenance.

On the shop floor

On a tablet or phone, at the machine, in the languages your team speaks.
