Velo for Manufacturing

From an SOP update to a training video, before the next changeover.

Built for teams that requalify a line every changeover, not once a year.

Point Velo at the updated SOP, the work instruction, or a five-minute floor recording, and get a training, safety, or work instruction video, grounded in your actual process and narrated in your voice, before the next shift.

The line changed at shift change. Second shift is still running the old procedure.

The knowledge already exists, in the updated SOP, the engineering change notice, the safety bulletin. Turning it into training that actually reaches every shift is still a manual pass: schedule the trainer, walk the line, hope everyone caught the toolbox talk.

The manual stack

  1. 01 SOP update
  2. 02 Schedule trainer
  3. 03 Walk the line
  4. 04 Toolbox talk
  5. 05 Next shift missed it

Works for one shift. Breaks down the moment the procedure changes again, and the next changeover crew never saw the update.

Shift 2 running the old procedure, update posted for shift 1 only

With Velo

  1. 01 SOP update
  2. 02 Script
  3. 03 Render
  4. 04 Posted to every shift
  5. 05 Auto re-render

Fix the script, not the video. Every shift runs the current procedure, not whichever toolbox talk they caught.

Every shift covered before the next changeover, no walk-through required

Plugs into the systems your team already runs on.

You don't have to build a new training pipeline. Velo reads what's already in your SOP library, your SAP change notices, or your Cornerstone courses, and turns it into a clear, on-brand video.

SOP Library · Line 4 Changeover Rev. C

Rendered output

Same system. Different job to do.

One shared SOP library and brand kit, used differently by every role on the floor.

  • Plant Operations

    "Here's the updated changeover, step by step."

    Training video, pushed to every break-room screen the same shift.

  • EHS & Safety

    "Here's the updated safety procedure."

    Toolbox-talk video, watched before the next task, not after a near-miss.

  • Training & L&D

    "Here's how the new equipment runs."

    Orientation video, reused for every new-hire cohort without a repeat walkthrough.

The same video does three jobs, because your plant already shares the same SOP.

A procedure update isn't three separate assets. It's one engineering change notice, rendered once, reused everywhere your plant needs it.

  • Plant Ops

    Ships it.

    Points Velo at the updated SOP, reviews the script, hits render.

  • EHS

    Repurposes it.

    Same render becomes the toolbox-talk video, no new brief needed.

  • Training

    Reuses it.

    Same render becomes part of the new-hire orientation module.

One SOP library. One shared training record. No shift starts from zero.

From SOP to clear video in four steps.

Point it at what already exists. Review the script once. Ship the video to every shift that needs it.

  1. 01

    An updated SOP, an engineering change notice, a Cornerstone course, or a floor recording.

  2. 02

    Structures the explanation and writes the script for supervisor review before anything renders.

  3. 03

    Narrated in your voice, on brand, every time.

  4. 04

    A Cornerstone module, a break-room screen loop, a Slack post, or a shareable link.

One video system for every manufacturing moment.

From day-one orientation to the next changeover, without starting over each time.

  1. 01 · New hire

    Equipment orientation videos.

    Grounded in the live SOP library, not a binder from last year's hire wave.

  2. 02 · Changeover

    SOP training videos.

    What changed and why, ready before the next shift starts.

  3. 03 · Ongoing

    Auto-updating work instructions.

    Connected to the current revision, so an SOP update doesn't quietly go stale.

  4. 04 · Weekly

    Toolbox-talk recaps.

    Replace a repeated verbal briefing with three minutes every shift can watch.

  5. 05 · Support

    Maintenance how-tos.

    Pulled straight from equipment manuals, no separate content pass.

  6. 06 · Global

    Multilingual training.

    The same explanation, narrated in any language your floor speaks.

One grounded system, not a tool stack.

Procedures change every changeover. What stays consistent is the system your whole team ships training from.

  • Edit the script and Velo re-renders the video. No re-shoot when the SOP updates.

  • An SOP, an engineering change notice, a Cornerstone course, or a floor recording becomes a structured, narrated script.

  • Trigger a render straight from an SAP change notice or a quality management system update, via the API and SDK.

  • Connect your SOP library, Cornerstone, and SharePoint, so every video is grounded in the current revision, not last year's.

  • One voice and look across every video, no matter which trainer or supervisor made it.

  • Share a link, embed it in Cornerstone or a break-room screen loop, or drop the written record into the SOP library.

  • See which operators completed the training, not just who was assigned it.

  • Let an agent turn a recurring maintenance ticket pattern into a video on its own, no one has to kick off the render.

  • Already have a raw floor walkthrough recording? Velo cleans it up: zooms, callouts, and narration, without a re-shoot.

Ship the training as fast as the procedure changes.

Real SOP updates. Real shift coverage. A faster way to close the gap between a change and the floor actually knowing it.

  • 34%

    Fewer changeover errors in the first week after a procedure update

  • 55%

    Faster turnaround on SOP training video

  • 2x

    Training modules shipped, without adding trainers

How a mid-size contract manufacturer cut changeover training rollout from five days to one.

A contract manufacturer running three shifts across two plants updated changeover procedures roughly twice a month as new customer programs came online. The single trainer covering both plants could only walk one shift through a new procedure per visit, so full rollout across all three shifts and two sites took up to five days. In the meantime, shifts running the old procedure accounted for a disproportionate share of changeover-related scrap and downtime.

The team connected Velo to their SOP library and engineering change process. When a procedure updates, the trainer reviews a first-draft script the same day and pushes the rendered video to Cornerstone and every break-room screen across both plants. Quality now pulls a training completion record straight from the platform ahead of customer audits instead of chasing paper sign-off sheets.

We used to lose the first two days after every procedure change to scrap while shifts caught up. Now the video is on the break-room screen before the next shift clocks in.

No. Velo is priced per account, so operations, EHS, and training can all make video without a per-user bill.

No. Velo replaces the manual production work so your trainers spend time on the floor coaching, not shooting and editing video.

Yes. Every video can be hosted with access controls and permissions, so it holds up to the same review as the rest of your stack.

Velo connects to your SOP library, Cornerstone, and SharePoint, plus a live floor recording, so you're not re-entering content anywhere.

Changeover training, safety bulletins, new-hire onboarding, and work instruction videos, each grounded in your actual SOP with a written record alongside it.

Velo reads your context, an SOP, a change notice, or a floor recording, structures the explanation, writes the script, and renders the video narrated in your voice.

Yes. Edit the script and Velo re-renders the video. No re-shoot, and the written training record updates with it.

A screen recorder captures whatever you record, take after take. Velo turns SOP context into a structured, narrated video, re-renders when the script changes, and produces a written record alongside it.

Yes. The same explanation can render in any language, narrated in your voice, so training reaches every plant and every shift.

Yes. Video agents can turn a recurring maintenance ticket pattern into a video on their own, so the backlog doesn't wait on someone's free hour.

Ship the training as fast as the procedure changes.

Point Velo at your next SOP update and see the video before the next changeover.
