Our proven module for paperless delivery of manufacturing documents gets a new name: EMC KnowledgeBase is now EMC Digital File. Read on to learn why we updated the name, what this means for existing users, and how the digital production file drives efficiency on the shop floor.
Our proven module for paperless delivery of manufacturing documents gets a new name: EMC KnowledgeBase is now EMC Digital File. Read on to learn why we updated the name, what this means for existing users, and how the digital production file drives efficiency on the shop floor.
Many of our customers have long valued this module under the name EMC KnowledgeBase as an essential building block for paperless manufacturing. Whether technical drawings, setup sheets, reference photos, or video instructions: the module has always ensured that all relevant information is available exactly where it is needed, right at the machine terminal.
However, in day-to-day operations, a “KnowledgeBase” often sounds like an academic wiki or IT documentation. What the module actually delivers on the shop floor is far more operational: it replaces unorganized paper folders at the machine with a central, digital production file.
To clearly communicate this practical focus and its direct value for production managers, process engineers, and operators, the module is now officially named EMC Digital File.
What Changes for Existing Users?
In short: Only the name and the icon.
All features, configurations, and stored data remain 100% intact. In your EMC software interface and official documents, you will now find the module under its new title and a refreshed, intuitive icon.
Core Benefits of the Digital Production File at a Glance:
-
No Scrapped Parts Due to Outdated Drawings: Process engineers update documents centrally. Operators at the terminal are guaranteed to view only the latest approved revision.
-
Reduced Setup & Search Times: No walking to the supervisor’s office, no searching through greasy binders. Drawings, inspection plans, and videos are available at the touch of a button.
-
Faster Onboarding & Reliable Standards: Visual guides (images & videos) help new team members and shift workers set up machinery quickly and maintain high quality standards, regardless of individual experience levels.
-
Audit-Proof & Clean Documentation: Say goodbye to paper clutter, dog-eared pages, and unreadable sketches at the workstation
