Bridge, Digital Manufacturing Software Solution
Process Modeling and Document Management
- Standard operating procedure based on the following media :
- Files and links (office 360, office, Google workplace, videos…)
- Digital check list
- Specification, Bills of Material
- Workflow
- Step by step execution routing
- Full DMS capabilities for all medias (hard and soft versioning, approval workflow, encryption)
- Context modeling : plant structure down to line and assets, Product, BOM, and specification, user, shift, roles and org chart.
Training and Certification
- Certification and training modeling :
- Binary and multi-level
- Flexible expiration rules (time-based or usage-based)
- Group and self training, in-person training and on-line coaching
- Flexible certification requirements (by product or product family, partner, workstation or mix)
- Training planning and anticipation (on production processes to be released)
- “Object oriented” certification management to reduce training cost and support rationalization efforts
- Trainer management (booking and skills validation)
- Training execution with training evaluation
- Event driven certification validation and interlocking (integration with MES or directly from Bridge portal) at line check in or product change
- Full audit trail (training records and production events linked to certification requirements)
Execution and traceability
- A context-driven portal presents and enforces the process media associated to the Standard Operating Procedure :
- Access to electronic work instructions and other reference materials
- Step-by-step execution processes (work order execution, input collection, conformance and non conformance order flows)
- Electronic checklist to react to events or enforce and track periodical activities, address process non conformance
- Workflows to manage alerting, escalation, temporary instructions, non conformance analysis, CAPA and other quality processes like FNEA
- Specification validation, process control, BOM component validation
- Versioning is managed by Bridge DMS or external DMS/PLM
- The system can trigger real time training requests, start training on the line, and interlock production if certification requirements are not met, leveraging Bridge’s Training and Certification module.
- All execution data are stored and made available :
- Transfer to enterprise data lake
- Leverage Bridge out of the box audit trail and reports
- Analyze and export to XLS using Bridge’s flexible reporting tools
- Visualie KPIs and dashboard
