Challenge

The intricate nature of Simbionix MRI simulation machines required precise step-by-step assembly and disassembly instructions to avoid errors that could compromise product functionality or safety.

Solution

Amarel delivered a digital assembly and disassembly guide that addressed their instructional challenges and allowed for seamless updates to accommodate evolving machine designs and new production requirements.

By leveraging expertise in digital documentation and process optimization, Amarel ensured that the deliverables aligned with Simbionix’s high standards and operational needs. Regular feedback loops and close collaboration throughout the project resulted in a tailored solution that exceeded expectations and improved end-users’ experience.

Graphical language

Icon-based visuals replaced dense textual explanations, ensuring instructions were intuitive and universally accessible.

Step-by-step visualization

Detailed visual steps guided users through each phase of the assembly and disassembly processes.

Integrated Bill of Materials (BOM)

Comprehensive component lists were embedded within the instructions, enhancing accuracy and reducing assembly errors.

Global adaptability

The icon-based approach eliminated linguistic barriers, making the materials accessible to diverse teams worldwide without the need for extensive translations.

Feedback integration

Amarel implemented a feedback loop, enabling production teams to provide insights on the usability of the instructions. For example, early feedback identified a need for additional visual emphasis on critical safety steps, which was promptly addressed in subsequent updates.

Results

The visual instructions greatly improved the assembly process, saving time and reducing errors. The graphical language transcendedlinguistic barriers, enabling global teams to achieve consistent results regardless of their native language. The digital format for rapid updates, ensuring the instructions remained relevant as Simbionix’s products evolved.
