Feature details
Integrate Supply Chain Management with Dynamics 365 Guides to unlock a new dimension of efficiency in scenarios such as assembly, service, operations, certification, regulations, and safety procedures. This feature lets you integrate Supply Chain Management with Dynamics 365 Guides to create mixed-reality, step-by-step instructions for production processes. It enables you to attach guides to various aspects of production control, including:
- Resources
- Resource groups
- Released products
- BOMs and BOM versions
- Formulas and formula versions
- Routes and route versions
- Route operation relations
When a first-line worker starts a new job on the shop floor, they can choose to see a list of QR codes for guides related to that job. To load a guide into their HoloLens, the worker just scans the relevant QR code, which then launches the mixed-reality work instructions.
