Hi everyone,

New to this forum. I have a basic question. Does anyone know of any 3rd party Digital Work Instruction solution built on Ignition that is being sold as an accelerator?

Sepasoft publishes a [Document Management](https://www.sepasoft.com/products/mes-document-management/) module where digital work instructions can be created. Combined with the [Batch Procedure](https://www.sepasoft.com/products/batch-procedure/) module would include workflow to chain multiple steps in a process together.

Let us know if you would like a [demo!](https://www.sepasoft.com/request-demo/)

How much of the Document Management module can be used in a standalone fashion? For instance, can I pass in my own MES's LotID to associate with a document instance or do I need to purchase and use Sepasoft core modules?

The general use case is not to be a standalone module. Documents are stored as Blobs ([Artifacts](https://docs.sepasoft.com/articles/#!user-manual/abstractmesobject-functions/a/h3_1391571943)) in the MES database and are directly linked to mes objects.

There are [generally] definition objects and runtime objects. The typical flow is to create a master document and attach it to a definition object, then during execution, create a copy and attach it to a runtime object.

This way you have a direct link to the work that was completed and the document used.

It's a little different if the documents are read-only. If they are meant to just present information, you could probably use it as a standalone and tie it to one of the core objects like equipment or material definitions.
