Improve Factory Training Across the Whole Learning Lifecycle

From content creation to training delivery to proving compliance,
Poka’s connected worker platform can replace or complement your LMS.

Build training from the people who know your floor

Give subject matter experts the tools to create video walkthroughs, step-by-step procedures, and illustrated work instructions directly in Poka. No curriculum designer required. Our AI assistant cuts content creation time in half, so your most experienced operators can build training content that reflects how people actually work.

Assign training to the right people automatically

Your L&D coordinator’s job just got easier. Poka automatically assigns training based on role and workstation, so when a worker joins a team or moves to a new line, their training queue is already waiting. Set revision dates and competency targets globally or by individual, and the days of chasing down missed assignments are gone.

Deliver training where work happens

Poka delivers video micro-lessons and digital work instructions directly on mobile at the workstation, so operators access the exact guidance they need, in the moment they need it, in the language they work in. Training happens whenever someone has a question, operators lead their own learning, and nobody has to pull a colleague off the line to troubleshoot.

Verify real knowledge, not clicks

Poka's built-in exams are automatically scored with every attempt tracked, and trainer assessments add a human endorsement for hands-on skills that can't be tested with a quiz alone. The result is competency you can prove in an audit.

Spot skills gaps before they affect production

Poka's skills matrix gives team leaders a live view of every operator's training, skill levels, and coverage across teams, shifts, and sites. Know who's qualified, who isn't, and where the gaps are before an auditor points them out.

Prove training compliance in minutes

Poka gives you instant access to training records, viewing logs, version history, and completion dates so you can show exactly what training happened, when it happened, and what version workers saw. No digging through binders. When an auditor walks in, you're ready.

Without Poka, I never would have been able to learn new skills and get promoted less than two years after being hired.

Customer Story

Tetra Pak Reduces Knowledge Gaps by 87%

↓ 87%

Before Poka, Tetra Pak put in a lot of training effort, but they didn’t have the visibility to go with it. No structured system to track skills or knowledge gaps. With Poka, Tetra Pak's L&D team built role-specific training paths, tracked competency in real time, and gave operators self-serve access to the knowledge they needed. The result was a workforce that learned continuously, (not just when a trainer was available) and less production problems.

Operators take the lead in their own learning. They learn when they need to, the right way, and without constantly taking other operators away from their work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asset Performance Management

Why is manufacturing safety training important?

Safety training prevents injuries and keeps your facility compliant with regulations. Untrained workers are more likely to get hurt, cause accidents, or damage equipment. Good training also cuts downtime, lowers insurance costs, and makes safety audits easier because you have proof of who was trained and when.

What is manufacturing compliance training?

Manufacturing compliance training teaches workers the rules and procedures they're legally required to follow on the job. This covers safety regulations, quality standards, and industry-specific requirements like OSHA or FDA guidelines. The goal is to keep workers safe and keep records that prove training actually happened.

What is current good manufacturing practices training?

Current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) training teaches employees the FDA-regulated standards for making safe, consistent products. It covers hygiene, equipment handling, documentation, and quality control. cGMP mostly applies to food, pharmaceutical, and medical device makers, and following it helps avoid contamination, recalls, and fines.

Poka supports the training side of cGMP by delivering role-specific digital work instructions right at the workstation, tracking who completed which training and when, and keeping a clear training history for audits.

What makes an effective manufacturing training program?

An effective program gets the right information to the right worker at the right time. It uses short lessons and visuals instead of long manuals, lets workers learn at the workstation, and tracks who completed what. The best programs test real skills, not just attendance.

What is lean manufacturing training?

Lean manufacturing training teaches workers how to cut waste and work more efficiently on the line. It covers methods like 5S, value stream mapping, and continuous improvement. The goal is to reduce wasted time, materials, and motion so teams produce more with the same resources.

How does Poka help reduce training costs in manufacturing?

Poka reduces training costs three ways: less time spent on one-on-one training, faster content creation, and fewer errors from undertrained workers. Operators get guidance without pulling a trainer off the line. Barry Callebaut cut content creation time by 50%, and Danone reduced total training costs by 40%.

How do you train operators who aren't comfortable with technology?

Poka is built for factory floor workers, including those who aren't used to software. Scan a QR code to pull up the right content, navigate a simple menu, and watch short videos instead of reading long documents. Most operators feel confident using Poka within their first shift, especially when line leaders introduce it.
