The digital era has brought a wealth of tools and systems to optimize industrial processes. GED (Electronic Document Management) is one of these innovations that has become fundamental. In addition to serving as a repository for administrative and contractual documents, the GED plays a crucial role in maintenance, providing quick access to electrical projects, and in the operation of machines, ensuring that Work Instructions are always within reach of operators. But, beyond these aspects, what exactly is the GED and why is it so strategic in the industrial context?

GED is a system that allows the organization, storage, sharing and retrieval of documents in digital format, with a "paperless" approach. Unlike traditional paper filing systems, GED offers an agile, secure and efficient solution for managing large volumes of information.

Why is the GED vital to the industry?

1. Volume of Information: Industries generate a massive amount of documents every day, from production orders, technical specifications, quality reports to invoices and contracts. GED makes it easy to manage and access these documents in a quick and structured way.

2. Agility in access: Forget the days of searching for a document in dusty archives. With GED, a document can be accessed in seconds, using keywords, metadata or other search criteria.

3. Security: Modern GED systems have advanced security features, ensuring that documents are protected against loss, damage and unauthorized access.

4. Collaboration: GED promotes collaboration between departments and teams, allowing documents to be shared, reviewed and edited in an integrated way.

5. Compliance and Traceability: In industry, there are often legal and regulatory requirements to maintain records for specific periods. The GED ensures that documents are stored appropriately and can be retrieved when necessary.

6. Cost Reduction: By eliminating the need for physical storage and reducing the time spent searching for documents, companies can realize a significant reduction in operational costs, in a paperless approach.

GED: Part of a whole for a more efficient industry

The implementation of a GED in industry is not just about replacing paper with pixels. It's about embracing a new way of working, where information is accessible, secure and easily shareable. In a sector where efficiency can make the difference between success and failure, the GED presents itself as an indispensable tool for industries seeking to innovate and remain competitive in the market.

The Electronic Document Manager is more than just a digital storage system; is a strategic solution that boosts productivity, promotes collaboration and ensures compliance. Industries that have not yet adopted this approach will certainly benefit from considering including GED in their operations.
