From Video to SOP to
Zero-Error Assembly:
PIQAPART + AI Copilot.

Manual assembly documentation has always been the bottleneck — time-consuming to write, hard to keep updated, and impossible to enforce on the shop floor. AI is now solving both sides of the problem simultaneously: generating the instructions automatically from video, and verifying in real time that operators follow them correctly.

The documentation bottleneck in manual assembly

Every manufacturer with manual assembly lines faces the same two problems. First: writing and maintaining work instructions, SOPs, and assembly manuals takes enormous amounts of time — often weeks per product, with endless rounds of revision every time a process changes.

Second: even when documentation exists, there is no reliable way to verify that operators are actually following it correctly on the shop floor. Instructions get ignored, steps get skipped, and defects get discovered at the end of the line rather than at the step where they occurred.

AI is now addressing both problems — with two complementary tools that together create a closed loop from documentation to execution to verification.

PIQAPART: from video to SOP in seconds

PIQAPART is an AI documentation platform that turns any process video into a structured operational manual automatically. An operator records a video of the assembly process — the AI identifies each step, extracts key frames, generates descriptions, and assembles a professional SOP ready to publish, export, or print.

1
Record the process PIQAPART
Upload a video of any assembly operation, recipe, or technical procedure. No scripting or preparation required — just film what the operator already does.
2
AI extracts step-by-step structure PIQAPART
The AI identifies each action, generates optimised titles and technical descriptions, and captures the key frame image for every step — automatically.
3
SOP published and deployed PIQAPART
The completed manual exports as PDF, HTML, or XML — ready for ERP, PDM, or CMS systems. Auto-translated into 30+ languages in one click.
4
AI Copilot enforces the SOP in real time AI COPILOT
The Logirobotix AI Copilot reads the assembly sequence and monitors every operator action — verifying each step is completed correctly before the next one unlocks.
5
Errors flagged before they become defects AI COPILOT
Missing components, wrong parts, incorrect orientation, skipped steps — all detected instantly at the workstation, not discovered at end-of-line inspection.

How the two systems work together

PIQAPART and the AI Copilot address opposite ends of the same problem — one creates the standard, the other enforces it.

PIQAPART → AI Copilot: the closed loop
PIQAPART
Captures the expert operator’s process on video and turns it into a structured SOP
AI Copilot
Uses that SOP as the reference to guide and verify every operator in real time
PIQAPART
Reduces SOP writing time by 90% — from weeks to minutes per procedure
AI Copilot
Reduces assembly defects by 35% and rework by 60% — from documentation to execution
PIQAPART
Translates SOPs into 30+ languages automatically — breaking language barriers for multilingual teams
AI Copilot
Guides operators in their language at the workstation — onboarding new workers 50% faster
PIQAPART
Manages version control — every process update triggers a new SOP revision automatically
AI Copilot
Enforces the latest version on the shop floor — no outdated instructions reach the operator

Key PIQAPART capabilities

🎥
Video-to-SOP in seconds
AI scans the video, identifies key actions, and assembles a professional manual — 90% faster than manual writing.
🌍
Auto-translation — 30+ languages
One click translates the entire SOP for multinational teams — eliminating language barriers on the shop floor.
📄
Multi-format export
PDF, HTML, and XML export — compatible with ERP, PDM, and CMS platforms already in use.
📱
QR-code access
Generate QR codes for each SOP — operators scan at the workstation for instant access to the latest version.
✏️
Live AI editor
Edit titles, descriptions, and frames directly on the platform before publishing — full control over the final output.
🔄
Revision control
Version management ensures documentation is always current and compliant — no outdated SOPs reaching the floor.

Combined benefits for manufacturers
