"Work Analysis" is a feature that lets AI watch work videos recorded on the shop floor and check for improvement points, whether the work is done according to the procedure, and the time spent on each element. It is divided into three types by purpose. Work Analysis is available on the Pro plan or higher. Videos shot with a 360-degree camera cannot be used for Work Analysis.
Differences Between the Three Types
Open "Work Analysis" in the side menu and the following three types will be listed. The things you need to get started become fewer from top to bottom.
- Quick Analysis … You can start with just one video. You do not need an SOP or detailed standard time settings. AI lists improvement hints and risky moments
- Compare with SOP … Requires an SOP (or a file already processed by AI). It compares the worker's video against the SOP and checks whether the work is done according to the procedure
- Time Analysis … Measures the time for each element and assembles a model cycle to create standard work. The former "Work Analysis" has been carried over to this type
Which One Should You Use?
- You want AI to watch the video first and you do not have an SOP yet … Quick Analysis
- You have an SOP but are not sure whether the work is done according to it … Compare with SOP
- You want to measure work time to improve, or you want to create standard work … Time Analysis
Quick Analysis
Just by choosing one video, AI lists the following two items.
- Risky moments … Lists scenes that may injure someone and scenes that may lead to defective products, each with a severity level
- Improvement hints … Lists observations about how the work is organized, such as waste, changing grip, and searching for items
Open "Quick Analysis" in the side menu and start from "Start Quick Analysis" in the upper right. Select a video, enter a short description of the work in "What kind of work is this?" (optional), select the sharing scope, and press "Analyze." We will notify you by email when the analysis is finished.
Improvement hints are shown only for media that has been analyzed by video AI (the AI processing used to create SOPs). For videos not yet analyzed by AI, only the detection of risky moments will run.
Compare with SOP
The worker's video is checked against the SOP to find skipped steps, differences in order, and risky moments.
Open "Compare with SOP" in the side menu and start from "Add comparison" in the upper right. For the reference, you can choose either "From an SOP" or "From file." With "From file," you can use Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF files that have been processed by AI as the reference.
For the comparison, set the target person (the person doing the work). The results can also be viewed from the target person's own Personal page. You can also start a comparison based on a specific SOP from the "…" menu on its SOP card. A draft SOP cannot be used as the reference.
Time Analysis
You can measure the time for each element, edit the video into a model video with waste removed, and even compare it with the work of the target person (such as a young worker or a newcomer). The edited video is added to "Media" and can be used as is to create an SOP.
How to Start (Two Entry Points)
A. Start from the side menu
- Open "Work Analysis" → "Time Analysis" in the left side menu
- Click "Create new" in the upper right and enter a project name
- When the editor opens, select a video in STEP1
B. Start from a video in "Media" (recommended)
You can start directly from a video that has already been uploaded and analyzed by AI. Open the target video card in "Media," select "Run work analysis with this media," and then choose whether to start with Quick Analysis or Time Analysis.
Proceed in 6 Steps
The editor has six steps: Selection → Extraction → Classification → Improvement → Confirmation → Comparison. You can move between the steps at any time using the number rail (1 to 6) on the far left.
- STEP1 Selection: Choose the original video to analyze
- STEP2 Extraction: AI extracts the element work. Before analysis, you can specify the Range to analyze. For repetitive work, assemble a "model cycle" from multiple cycles
- STEP3 Classification: Classify the element work into three categories: Net work / Incidental work / Waste (this is the baseline before improvement)
- STEP4 Improvement: Assemble a "work video with waste removed" by cutting, rearranging, and adjusting speed
- STEP5 Confirmation: Preview Before and After side by side, and if there are no problems, export the video
- STEP6 Comparison: Using the confirmed standard as the reference, AI analyzes and aligns the target person's repeated videos, and visualizes proficiency through cycle time comparison, delay per element, and AI coaching
The "AI improvement suggestion" that used to be in STEP1 has been moved to Quick Analysis. It is not shown in Time Analysis. Suggestions issued so far remain in the "Improvement suggestion" sheet of the file created with "Export to Excel," as before.
About Exported Videos
- Exporting takes from a few minutes to tens of minutes. We will notify you by email when it is complete
- Exported videos are added to "Media." They are tagged "After" and can be used to create SOPs just like regular videos
- The "Analysis options" of the original video (such as wording settings) are carried over, and AI analysis runs automatically on the exported video as well
- When you create an SOP from this exported video, the initial value of standard time is entered automatically for each step
Projects and Lists
The unit of work in Time Analysis is called a "Project". One project is the analysis and editing data for one original video.
- You can organize projects into folders. Projects can be moved to a folder by drag and drop
- Each project is linked to its history of exported videos and its history of comparisons (Comparison with target)
- Quick Analysis and Compare with SOP items are listed in their own lists. You can sort and filter them, and use "Delete selected" to delete several at once
Share the Results
For both Quick Analysis and Time Analysis, you can set the Sharing scope and share the results with members in your group or across the entire team. In the list, open the "…" menu on the target row, select "Sharing scope," and change it to "Only me," "Same group," or "Entire team." Only the author can edit. Members you share with can view the results, export them to Excel, and view the After videos. For details, see Sharing Work Analysis Results with a Team or Group (Setting the Sharing Scope).
