The client
The project snapshot
- The company
- Manac, a semi-trailer manufacturer, around 1,100 employees, headquartered in Saint-Georges (Quebec), with sites in Canada and the United States.
- The solution
- CLIP, the AI that generates work instructions from short video clips, deployed with close, hands-on support.
- The status
- Partnership in progress: a conclusive pilot and a shop floor rollout now launched.

The context
The operational challenge
Manac's know-how mostly lived in the heads of its experts. With retirements approaching, that knowledge risked leaving with them. At the same time, onboarding and training new hires took time, and work instructions were hard to keep up to date. At stake: the ability to train fast and protect quality.
On the floor
When know-how depends on a few heads
At Manac, writing a single work instruction took several hours. Each sheet relied on an expert who knew the task by heart. The result: when an expert leaves, part of the knowledge leaves with them. Sheets were not always up to date, and new employees were trained unevenly. Manac was looking for a fast way to produce reliable instructions without tying up its experts for hours.
Several hoursto write a single work instruction, before CLIP
The trigger
An internal committee was formed to prepare for the upcoming retirements and capture the know-how before it disappeared.
Before / after
What changes, concretely
From the pilot phase on, CLIP has shifted several daily friction points.
Before
- Creating a work instructionSeveral hours
- The experts' know-howIn a few heads, at risk of leaving
- Keeping instructions up to dateHard to maintain
- Training new hiresLong and uneven
With CLIP
- Creating a work instructionA few minutes
- The experts' know-howCaptured in reusable sheets
- Keeping instructions up to dateGenerated and adjusted quickly
- Training new hiresStandardized instructions, faster onboarding

CLIP solution
The solution: CLIP
CLIP is Intelligence Industrielle's AI that turns a simple video clip into a clear, standardized work instruction. Experts film the task, CLIP generates the sheet, and the team validates it in a few minutes.

The support
A project run side by side, week after week
This is not software that gets delivered and forgotten. Throughout the pilot phase, the Intelligence Industrielle and Manac teams worked in a tight loop: a meeting every week, visits on the floor, and frank two way communication. When something did not fit, Manac said so, and the team adjusted CLIP accordingly: the prompt, the engine, the way sheets come out. This try, listen, adjust rhythm made it possible to calibrate the tool on the real floor.

A meeting every week throughout the pilot
- 02
Visits on the floor and frank two way communication
- 03
CLIP continuously adjusted: the prompt, the engine, the sheet output
The first signals from the floor
The first operator who discovered a CLIP generated instruction was immediately won over, and the others, curious, are already waiting for what comes next. After 4 weeks of piloting, the project moves to rollout with a first team of agents.
The journey
Conviction, step by step
The best success indicator here is not a number, it is the way Margo M., project lead at Manac, took ownership of the project over the weeks.
- 01At first
Seeking reassurance
She moved cautiously. She looked for reassurance and leaned on the team's expertise.
"Is the way I film the clips the right way?"
- 02Then
Co-building
The dynamic shifted to co-building: she produced the clips, sent them in, and got into the testing. When a feature was shown to her, she confirmed it matched their vision and their internal process.
"Yes, this matches the way we work."
- 03Today
Leading the rollout
She talks about rollout and adoption. She validates the pilot plan, prepares the operators, and already looks further ahead.
This progression, from a cautious test to a client-owned strategic project, is the real proof that the partnership works.
