A method for modifying a procedure includes: accessing an instructional block library containing a set of verified instructional blocks associated with approved digital procedures performed within a facility; accessing an unverified instructional block, authored by an operator, for a new digital procedure at the facility; detecting a set of language signals in the unverified instructional block; correlating an equipment unit language signal, in the set of language signals, with an equipment unit located within the facility; correlating an action language signal, in the set of language signals, with an action prompt related to the equipment unit; identifying a verified instructional block, in the set of verified instructional blocks in the instructional block library, as analogous to the unverified instructional block in response to the verified instructional block including language signals associated with the equipment unit and the action prompt; and inserting the verified instructional block in the new digital procedure.

Method for controlling dissemination of instructional content to operators performing procedures within a facility

One variation of a method for automatically capturing data from non-networked production equipment includes: detecting a location of a mobile device within a facility, the mobile device manipulated by an operator while performing a step of an augmented digital procedure at a machine in the facility; estimating a position of a display on the machine relative to a field of view of an optical sensor in the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device and a stored location of the machine within the facility; in response to the position of the display falling within the field of view of the optical sensor, selecting an image captured by the optical sensor; extracting a value, presented on the display, from a region of the image depicting the display; and storing the value in a procedure file for the augmented digital procedure completed at the machine.

Method for automatically capturing data from non-networked production equipment

One variation of a method for assisting execution of manual protocols at production equipment includes: identifying a site occupied by a mobile device based on a geospatial location of a device; identifying a space within the building occupied by the device based on identifiers of a set of wireless access points wirelessly accessible to the device and known locations of wireless access points within the building; loading a protocol associated with an equipment unit in the space; calculating a position of the device within the space based on positions optical features, detected in a field of view of an optical sensor at the device, relative to reference features represented in a space model of the space; and, when the position of the device falls within a threshold distance of a reference location proximal the equipment unit defined in a step of the procedure, rendering guidance for the step.
