The Challenge

International Wire faced a major challenge: a large part of its workforce had 20–40 years of experience, and most of their expertise lived only in their heads or in old personal black notebooks.

As these veteran, often experienced employees began retiring, their deep operational knowledge was leaving with them.

With tightly coupled plans and processes that created cascading effects across production, losing this tribal knowledge put the company at serious risk. Without capturing and documenting what these experts knew, International Wire stood to lose critical skills essential for consistent, reliable operations.

What our customers say

We’ve got a decent amount of our workforce with 25 to 40 years of experience. When they leave, the knowledge that’s in their head leaves with them.

Michael Dellefave, Chief Operating Officer

The Solution: DeepHow as the Engine of Knowledge Capture

Adoption of new documentation methods was challenging, even though the team had previously experimented with video capture. This changed with DeepHow, which introduced an easier way to document legacy skills.

DeepHow enabled simple video production, automatically structured steps, quick multilingual translations, and a centralized, searchable knowledge base. Additionally, real-time communication across the workforce improved significantly, replacing outdated methods like email, paper notices, and daily LDM meetings that often caused misunderstandings.

Instant language translation further ensured consistent understanding of instructions and eliminated friction caused by language barriers.

What our customers say

We were able to identify a difference in our equipment that enabled our operators to do the job more safely without having to put themselves at risk.

Chris DeTorio, Plant Manager
